Counter tops in Winnebago Destination

Just looked at a 2008 Destination and the kitchen counter tops were delaminating like nothing I've ever seen Looked like a soft plastic sheet of material with huge air bubbles underneath. Most of the MH we have looked at have corian type material for countertops in kitchen and BR's Is there a simple fix for this? I wonder if it's a sign the Manufacturer is cutting quality on this model and will it show up in other areas of the MH . I know when one buys an older MH it's going to have issues but this screams of cheap construction and cutting corners

    Don't know how cheap of a fix you will find. I have an '07 Winy vista, and the countertops were garbage. A thin backer of dense fiberboard, with a microscopically thin plastic foil covering. I pulled them all and made replacements with furniture grade particle board, and a high end laminate. Materials for everything, including kitchen, bath, dining table and nightstand, ran about $300 bucks. For a few hundred more, any decent cabinet shop could do the same thing for you. Since I was starting over, I also installed a corian double bowl kitchen sink, and a new stainless steel bath sink. It was nice to see the crappy factory sinks hit the garbage can, where they belonged.

    This can happen due to not proper install, setting something very hot on the surface causing the glue to release. The other thing I have seen is someone setting hot ice on the top and it causes the same issue. I am sure there are other things. There is really no fix for it other than replace the counter top.
