I've inspected all the joint seals everywhere the cap meets the rest of the rig and see no evidence of cracking etc. We took it to a THOR dealer for inspection and told them about the frequent cap problem. They're analysis was it needed a couple of screws replaced under the trim (surprise surprise)
We also contacted Thor just to get on record within the rigs original warranty period for whatever that may be worth.
Living in AZ however, I just don't see the value in driving back to Indiana should this blossom into a problem.
I don't have any welding equipment, so if I did open things up, would there be another approach to reinforcing the frame?

I am sure you have some professional welders in your area or some fabrication and welding shops that you could take the frame and pedestal too and have them weld it up for you. Using brackets in the corners with nuts and bolts would not last very long, the aluminum tubing is thin walled and you will crush the sides when you try to tighten up the fasteners.
