Cleaning the unit today and noticed this only on the ODS below the overhang and following down to the J channel.

Checked inside the front compartment along with ODS propane compartment didn't notice any broken of defective welds. Haven't had a chance to hookup and check if any additional separation.

Anyone have thoughts?

I am having a hard time picturing exactly where this is located - do you have a farther out picture showing the crack and half moon relative to a reference point? ie front compartment or propane door compartment.

I am aware of SOB fiberglass crack from residual stress in the laminating process; once it cracked and relieved the stress, it did not propagate or enlarge. Repaired by sanding down and filled with top coat and blending. You are painted so that is another step, if you want to complete the repair in the first place.

Could the half moon be from an impact?

Hooking up should determine if it is caused by a frame flex.
