How many folks have seen the roofs on RV's going down the road looking like there is a air compressor blowing it up? Can't think of any 1 specific mfr, but IMO.....not good!
Almost always this is caused by improper washing. Using products that actually dissolve the glue.

Thanks everyone for your advice. We do like the model and have been told the brand is usually a solid built, quality unit. My husband indicates when he pushed on one of the ripples (not just a bubble), it was obvious the top of the trailer was not attached to the supporting understructure. Our search will continue...

What happens is people use a petroleum based cleaner that is absorbed by the membrane and soaks through to the glue. I encourage you to research and you will see that I am right. Dicor manufacture's website would be a great place to start!
