I'm looking for a travel trailer and while looking at a Winnebago Mini I noticed that they claim that they use Noble Classic high gloss fiberglass sidewalls. I then went to the manufacturer's web page and the panels have CARB PHASE 2 COMPLIANT LAUAN in them. That sounds like wood?? Am I wrong? I'm afraid of delamination.Does anyone know anything about Azdel Composite Panels? Who uses them?Thanks

Don't know what Noble is. Our Coachmen Apex has Adzel Walls on the sides but not on the ends from what I understand. Supposed to be lightweight, strong, water resistant. Google Adzel walls for a better explanation. We are on our 2nd Apex and pleased so far.

Not sure I’ve read of any Winnebago delamination issues. And what quality brand isn’t using fiberglass sidewalls other than Airstream?

sounds like a fancy name for regular fiberglass@wood side walls.

According to a quick Google search link, the "Noble" title indicates it's wood-free.

I was at that Web site and when I read the technical specs it said "MADE WITH CARB PHASE 2 COMPLIANT LAUAN". As stated above I'm not sure what that is but it sounds like lauan plywood that meets some CARB (California Air Resources Board) spec. Now I probally missed it, but no where on that spec sheet did I read that it says it was wood free. Where did you read that?
