Could have been a bad batch of adhesive when the made the wall sandwiches, not necessarily something that happened while you owned it....not delamination is caused by water leaks (granted most are). I would send it back to the factory and let them fix whatever needs to be fixed, Jayco is a quality company and they will make it right.
I don't trust laminated walls one bit. Seen to many delaminate and Jayco isn't alone. To be honest, I see more delamination that I do not.
As far as the glue failing, that not as uncommon as you may think. I remember when I went looking new in 2006 and late 2008 and found many brand new campers on the lot delaminating. They weren't on the lot long enough to have water leaks.
When I bought my 2008 Jay flight, that dealer had a 2009 Jay Feather Sport 165 on their lot with the back wall delaminating. I brought it up to them and they said sometimes it happens. They were a few minutes from the factory but didn't send it back which was puzzling to me. I certainly wouldn't buy any Jay Feather trailer if I seen this is what I had to expect!
I'd get the Eagle fixed at the Factory. I had them fix something on the 2008 and while they didn't get it fixed right the first time, they made sure it was done right eventually. That was at the time everyone was being laid off and Obama made Elkhart county his promotional tool.
I have noticed that the 2012 is a completely different animal. The build quality is worlds better.
