Bulge in exterior fiberglass...
Oh, dear...this is new. Anyone know what this might be about? Water damage?

Baptism by fire is what you're getting :W
Good plan on taking care of the leak.
If you call the rubber roof place they will tell you that the roof is warrantied for 10 years, but can easily go 20. This will depend again where you are located. Under a bunch of norther trees dropping organic material on it, soaking up rain and rotting or maybe sitting in the hot desert sun I'm guessing the roof isn't going to make x20 years.
When it comes to recoating you'll know. The white will start to wear off, black will appear, and you'll start to see fine spider cracks everywhere. Somewhere around 15-20 years is what I would say was normal.
You can get that window out with a putty knife by breaking the Butyl tape seal, BUT I WOULD LEAVE IT ALONE. You're asking for trouble and the tape they use can be far superior (i.e black) to Butyl (i.e. gray)depending on the coach.
Sooner or later you'll have to address the delam that occurred. Just not now when you feel like you're up to your armpits in alligators. Fix the leak, go out to the desert, recaulk everything nicely, sit back and enjoy life for awhile, then start to learn about delam and get the tools back out.
