Ok so one more thing, I was researching and looking at replacing the cabinets and in the rear wheel wells I see there is a gap between the plastic inner fender and the side of the coach. Is there a piece of the coach I am missing? What in fills this area or gap? Is there something at applied that I need to buy?
Thanks

It is just the old sealer that has given up, clean it and apply new sealer, if the gap is large you can heat the wheel well carefully with a heat gun and press it back to the side wall securing it with a pop rivet.

The plastic inner fenders are also prone to cracking and getting damage from the tires, they can be plastic welded but the job is a hassle.

Below is a picture of mine out for repair.

I think any good quality sealer can be used, I like the 3M brand and a sealer that has 10-20% flex (it does not get hard and can take some movment) but what really is important is to get a clean surface, I used thinner to clean it.
