Default Door area sag - worth addressing?

Hi All,

I could use a couple of thoughts on this. I spent a few years rebuilding our 2000 24 footer, including roof and seals and etc. There's a thread around here somewhere with those pics and process.

I pulled the awning as part of that rebuild, and because of the roof rebuild, elected not to put it back on. It's made a center 'sag' over the door area more pronounced looking and sometimes that bothers me. As I understand it, this isn't an unheard of problem for these trailers. To be clear, this isn't the result of new water damage, it may have been made worse by prior damage though.

Any thoughts on whether I should try and strengthen the area above the entrance door a bit? Maybe a bit of "L" girder on the inside that attaches to the metal frame in the upper half where roof sections meet wall sections? Or just carry on and live with it?

Thanks!
-Leland

Also in the garage, some stuff to pull it:
1999 3/4 ton 'Burb
1993 Roadmaster wagon (well, it probably won't pull it)
