I'm not a brand hater here, but I do have an issue with to frequent delamination. YES! I believe the industry has done us wrong, by offering this type of construction as a viable siding on a camper. Building a siding od a skin coat of "fiberglass" over thin sheet of plywood is not acceptable! This is NOT a fiberglass exterior! Slight moisture or high humidity with a little stress will cause the skin to pop.

Sad but true. The way they build these things, the impervious layer (vapor retarder in building construction) is on the wrong side of a wall or ceiling. In cold weather, moisture-laden air migrates to the cold outer skin where it condenses thus leading to mold, rot and/or delam. The foam they use is open cell and lets moisture right through it. When batt insulation gets moisture in it, it significantly reduces R-value and compounds the moisture problems. Defies logic. Ridiculous!

But they look so purdy on a showroom floor...
