Having been into several plants in the Middlebury IN area I'll mention Jay Co and Coachman. Some companies use a vacuum method of laminating. That is where they put the wall unit into a big bag and suck all the air out and let the glue cure. Some use a hot press method they apply the glue put it in a press that has heated platens which cause the glue to cure. Of the two I would prefer the hot press method it forces the fiber glass and the substrate together. Also coming to a manufacture near you is newer substrates that are not wood fiber based these will not wick moisture. That will cause less delam problems. As with any new technology there are problems, that is why the vacuum is being phased out in favor of the hot press and the non-wood fiber substrates. I just finished a rehab on a 1996 JayCo Eagle stick and tin type the problems I found were owner related. The JayCo unit was well built, remember I said 1996. I did a new roof all new roof vents TV and Radio antenna's New 15,000 AC unit, Spare 20 Amp input, Dual signal satilite/cable wiring, XM Radio. Serviced all the appliances. Gutted the Bunk House we now have a dual queen bedroom non-slide 32.5 foot center kitchen TT for the DW and our four Bichon Frise pups. Any questions drop me a note.
