Is it primarily caused from moisture getting into the wall and separating the material, or are there other causes?
[COLOR=]Water intrusion (leaks) are the most common cause. It can also be caused by faulty glue from the factory during the laminating process.
2.)What are some best practices to prevent this from occurring?
Regularly inspect and reseal ALL seams and openings (windows, running lights, vents, etc.)

I've also heard concerns about RV covers used to protect the trailer from the elements (weather, etc) causing heat buildup and contributing to delamination. I still can't decide if I should use a cover or not, even in the winter?
