The overhang ( I don't know the technical term for it). on my 5er is sagging a little. It is the area in the front that you back under to hitch up. The material that is under there is sagging a little. Not big problem now, but I don't want it to become one. Any idea on how to fix it.

Is the pin box sagging or are you talking about sheeting panels?

Is it the frame or the facia? There is a serious difference depending on which it is.

It is the plastic or fiberglass sheeting. Not the pinbox. Just the panels seem to be sagging.

Ours did the same thing and I used a stud finder to find the metal cross bracing for the frame and used stainless self tapping screws with washers to pull it back up tight.

We had a 5w do the same thing and I fixed it just like Hunter11. The screws did back out again later so make sure you use LockTite.
