Fiberglass wall cracks should be repaired from the inside. Usually they add support far beyond the crack with fiberglass cloth.
Are you pulling a stacker trailer or a motor cycle carrier ?

I have a crack in the same area. The same outfit repaired it twice with no luck. I was told by another repair facility that the only way to insure that the crack doesn't return. Is to split the body panel from the corner of the slide out frame, straight down to the belt line and then fill the split with a piece of flexible molding. The cost to repair this way was $2500.00. I didn't want to spend that much, so I left the original repair alone. The crack has traveled about a 1/4 inch in 2 years. I drilled a 1/16 hole at the end of the crack and it seems like it is good for now.

I like that idea, so I'll just have it fixed again.
