Roof and back make noise

Having problems with the roof and back area of my fifth wheel when the sun comes up in the mornings. It cracks and creeks as the sun heats it up. I'm sure its the aluminum frame, but what to do about it. It wakes the family up way too early. Other then turning the trailer around, it would do the same on the other end. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have experienced the same thing from time to time . when the sun hits in the morning i get a few pops and creaks . then in afternoon when the sun hits my front door again a few pops and creaks . then when the sun goes down . it doesn't last long just once or twice . not sure you can do anything . that's why my reply above
