I have a 2003 Dutch Star with the same issue. According to Newmar the only fix is to replace the sidewalls $$$$$$. I asked to speak with an engineer wanted to know what to expect in the future if I did nothing, no one could answer that question. I did some checking around and found two places that have tried a repair (stripping and repainting) but they say it hasn't been long enough to see if the repair works. As for my rig, I've had it five years now and it doesn't appear to have gotten any worse and only shows up in the dark colors, so I've decided not to worry about it. But, if I had known about this issue when I bought mine (didn't notice the problem before purchase) I would not have bought it. Mine is stored under cover and out of the hot Texas sun.
