ABSTRACT:
An improved modular wall panel system for enclosing towable trailers such as horse trailers and livestock trailers, but equally applicable to recreational vehicles. The present system includes at least two elongated wall panels that are attached to the frame of the trailer in adjacent side by side relationship with their edges cooperating to define a seam therebetween. The panels are typically constructed of extruded aluminum, and have a pair of ends and elongated top and bottom edges extending between said ends. The top edge of the lower panel includes a longitudinally extending top lip which includes a longitudinal groove, and the bottom edge of the higher adjacent panel includes a downwardly extending bottom lip extending along the bottom edge and includes a bottom groove. The top and bottom edges include a series of abutment surfaces that cooperate to align the adjacent panels. The top lip groove and the bottom lip groove cooperating to define an enclosed longitudinal channel extending along said seam. The channel breaks the vacuum along the seam that causes water leakage.
