Maybe the problem is with the supplier that the factory uses? I can't see how a counter could fail like that in under a year just because you may be in a humid area. We're in a humid area all winter long and doesn't cause problems here (that I've heard of). I would think it's more to do with water getting into the edges of the counter somehow. Maybe water has been dripping over the front edge and getting into the substrate and if MDF will swell up.
I don't see why you couldn't make a full-size template and order a new countertop in corian or formica complete with the sink cutout? Remove old and drop in the new. Walls in an RV can be wonky so a template would be mandatory unless you get a counter guy in.
We've got a solid surface countertop in our new TT and it has an under-mount stainless steel sink. Counter looks very nice but we're already worried about scratching it. Unless you really want the looks, I would stay with what you've got but from another source. It might be cheaper for the dealer to buy locally anyway and culd give you the chance to pick something nicer you like.
If your stove/range is next to the sink, they seem to often have a joint next to the cooktop and am not sure if that would have an impact on a complete new counter top. I'm guessing they do that because it's a weak point and could otherwise break?

Our problem is the edge of the formica is beginning to show signs of separation and with time it will only get worse. Our camper is less than one year old. We have already had them replace a portion of the countertop but we can tell that it will just have problems. I'm figuring part of the problem is that we live in a humid area.
