Lamination?
The dealer trying to sell me a Heartland Wilderness keeps going on and on about how the TT is laminated. Aren't most fiberglass models laminated? What about delamination? Anything to worry about here ...

It doesn't matter how the walls are made. If there is a leak-seam, window, joint, clip light,etc. and water gets in, there will be damage. I learned on a new trailer, assuming all was well. It wasn't.
My recommendation--regardless of the trailer, mfg., or type of construction, I would make it mandatory to have a pressure test done and ALL leaks repaired (yes, there will be leaks) and re tested. If the dealer is hesitant, I would be inclined to ask why, if the trailer is that good.
Next, this does not end the process, yearly you have to inspect and recaulk and I would still periodically pressure test. Only way to tell if there is a leak is to see it.
