What you have is a common problem with most light weight trailers being manufactured today. The front of your RV is not laminated. the fiberglass that is hung over the understructure is glued to just it's supports either wood or aluminum studs. Temp. changes will effect this ripple in diffrent ways througout the season. there really is no way to get rid of this problem. the fiberglass is only bonded to a very thin luan backer. Some manufactures do a better job than others by doubling the backer giving you a thicker covering that will warp less. Your stuck with it! The only way to avoid the problem in the future is to search for a Vaccum Laminated RV...NOT PINCH ROLLED...NOT HUNG...but Vaccume Laminated! Very few manufacturer's use this technology as it it more costly. But the advantages of owning a vaccum laminated trailer or Fifthwheel over a pinch rolled sidewall are huge! Vaccum lamination uses heat, pressure, and time to create a bond! Pinch roll uses only pressure and the glue is only given moments to bond...The only manufactures that I know of that have spent the money for this type of technology is Rockwood/Flagstaff, and Jayco.
