when you have a huge hole in the side of a camper that twists and flexes as it goes down the road, what could possibly go wrong?
Since 2008, some mfg's are hanging filon in smaller locations. The sheets are usually held in place by a tongue and groove section on top then molding holds the sides and bottom as it basically just hangs in place . They do not glue them . No delamination to occur.
However, they still can leak. A good way to tell , remove one of the screws at the bottom of the molding . That will be a low point in the design and water will collect there and drip out when you remove the screw.
Some people have been known to actually remove a screw at the bottom to allow a potential water leak , an avenue of escape.
