Get some better pictures if you can. Send them to the factory and get their take on it. Imperfections in a fiberglass wall are easily repaired by most RV or Marine bodyshops. Anyone with experience working with fiberglass. They will not have to replace the entire wall panel which in most cases is not even possible. The shop that just painted my front cap deals with these things every week.

Repairing a laminated wall panel with a filon skin backed up with luan plywood and foam can be done, but its always going to be noticable. So in that case I would live with the original defect.
They change entire wall panels all the time to correct defects. Its done back at the factory, not at a dealerships service dept.
Its common. Right now Forest River is changing entire wall panels on a whole run of
Rockwood / Flagstaff mini lites die to a bad batch of glue. When they change a panel at the factory you usually can not tell it was done.
Personally I would not purchase a unit with that defect, just like I would not buy a new truck that had a dent in the door.
