Sheet metal on back rear well area

[RamonaLee]

Hi!
Me again!
Just wondering if this is normal to have sheet metal on the floor in the rear of the trailer and the mud flaps with the screws going into fibreglass of the trailer are normal as well?

Not familiar with Trilliums but will say that on my Casita Freedom Deluxe, there are holes in the floor where hoses from the portable water tank, suspended under the camper, came through the floor one one side and drains for water heater and fresh air intake for battery on the other side of the camper in these cubbies. Someone may have done away with this stuff under the camper and just plugged the holes with tin.
As for the mud flaps, NO it is not normal to have screws into the fiber glass. I did install mud flaps but suspend the home made flaps (out of door matts) off a horizontal rod off the frame.

No and no. These are add ons.

Someone did a nice job with the mud flaps. I suspect the metal covers the wheel wells to make the space more usable inside. Again, if this is the case it was a good idea. If it is covering a leak and / or rot, not so good.

Not normal. Trillium did sell their trailers with mudflaps, but they had the Trillium logo on them.

The sheet metal is difficult to understand. The second picture looks like there is a bit of a box there. Unless some of those wires enter the box, I can't even guess as to its purpose. Were it me, I would take it off and see what is under it.

Given that both the mud flaps and the boxes could be to prevent erosion from gravel roads, I would look under the trailer to see the condition of the bottom of the rear pontoons.
