I am not sure what you are talking about as the fiberglass is done in a mold and not a wood bonded product. I got to watch them build the shell of one camper when I was at the factory, and it is all fiberglass. do you have a picture of what you're talking about?
Not being Snarky Stircrazy just adding to your point. I looked up fiberglass camper delamination repair and found only crack and fraying of worn fiberglass repair but nothing else. I did remember that Gordon did a factory tour and here is your point.

not sure what you're getting at. Like I said it is not construction like Luan in a normal rv. the foam insulation is glued to the interior panes then they are just glued as one to the fiberglass shell. it's not a lamination process. maybe I'm not understanding what the issue is as when a normal fiberglass laminated trailer delaminates you see bubbles in the exterior. in the bigfoot this won't happen as it is a solid fiberglass and gel coat shell with the interior glued to it.
I was agreeing with you that there is no such thing as "fiberglass" delamination on a camper mold. Before I post on any forum I look stuff up so I don't make a fool of myself. The only delamination there is on any camper is the Luan/pine getting wet under the fiberglass panel. like you said. Fiberglass molds do not delaminate because there is nothing to delaminate. I do not have any experience in camper fiberglass molds but I have extensive knowledge of fiberglass boats. The wood in any boat can rot for 30 years but the fiberglass will remain as it was poured all those years ago.
Here is a pic of a rebuild of my 88 Bayliner. The wood completely rotted but the fiberglass has not moved since 88. I would think the fiberglass campers would be exactly the same but according to TCM there is almost no wood in them. Sorry so long winded...
