Some people have painted the frame the same color as the body to hide it somewhat.

Just attach a piece of 1x4 trim (if a woody) or a piece of aluminum diamond plate (if using aluminum) to cover the frame side.


I used a 6" wide piece of aluminum diamond plate to cover the trailer and the small gap where the wall met the trailer.
My sides are painted wood, not aluminum.
