My 2013 19' had the same issue. I noticed that it was where the weight of the upper cabinets above the sink pulled down. I thought that was one of the reasons they added the stripper pole on the new version of the 19'. (mid-2017 and later with the new molds and 4" frames.)
I'm actually seeing the same thing develop with my 2019 5.0. While on the bed in the loft, I can now see a slight curve to the cabinet roof line if I eyeball the upper cabinets that I did not notice when we first got the trailer new.
I just went out and confirmed with a 4' level that there is about a 3/8" bow or sag to the upper cabinets in the middle of the span. Likely due to the amount of Corelle Ware dishes we carry up there.
I just chalk it up to normal settling. After all a home will settle over time and it is not being subjected to regular "earthquakes" also known as freeway expansion strips!
