Hard baseball sized "bump" outside RV

Have a 2018 Winnebago Intent 26M, purchased Aug 31, 2018. We've only used it a couple of times. It has spent almost a total of 2 months "waiting" or getting warranty work done. An area near the tailgate pkg has a place about baseball size, that protrudes from the camper. the local Winnebago dealer and service center looked at it and said they couldn't fix it...didn't really know what was causing it. I am afraid it is delamination! I recently contacted the factory and sent pictures to them. They want my service tech to call THEIR tech for guidelines on repair. I am not wild about this. I think I need to keep their nose to the grindstone and get more than a patch job. If it is delamination I don't want to keep the unit but want them to replace it with a new RV. Repairing this one from delamination will lower its value.

    Was it there when you took it in to get it worked on? was it there when you bought it? IF this happened while it was in someone else's care you have legal recourse. Or you can file an insurance claim.

    What's on the inside of the RV, oposite of that bump?

    On my TT the manufacuter (while replacing the roof...) drove a long screw through the roof and almost through the side of the wall resulting in a bump the size of a 50c piece.

    In my case they cut out a small piece of the siding, fixing the "outy" and patched it.
    Yes, it looks like krap.
