Sailboats have suffered the same problem for years. Suggest you talk to a boat repair shop near your location.

I have kind of the same issue. I removed all my graphics and under a lot of them I found these tiny cracks. It has not done anything more but they just look bad. I don't know why they did it.

Best I found without making more work of mess is a product on Amazon which you paint along like a touch up stick, and I’ll keep applying polish to protect better

I'd be concerned that those cracks are from the gooseneck frame flexing. Cracks and bad welds there are not unheard of.

I was thinking to upgrade the pin box on the fifth wheel to Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box Long Jaw, 21K ,one of those suspension, I did put new tires and will put a cross brace as well as I have the tripod when parked up.

You think this would help
