Update - Delam on New Jayco Eagle 314BDS
I posted a while back that I had discovered some minor blistering in the fiberglass of my new 2012 Jayco Eagle 314BDS. Jayco agreed to sand down the fiberglass, re-texture, and repaint the affected...

"since delam is usually due to leaking"
This is not true. Delamination is usually caused by an inferior fiberglass backing material, such as Luaun (wood) and can happen randomly. Of course, delam in areas where there is leaking is also an issue, it's not the sole or primary cause.
Inferior Luaun wood, especially in conjunction with vacuum bonding is almost the "perfect storm" for delamination issues.

I had delam on my last 5'er. Manufacturer fixed it, but it was a battle. After that I decided I would not buy another Rv that uses luan plywood as the backer for fiberglass. I now have an Open Range TT. It can leak, but it will not delaminate because they use symalite that will not rot from water. Check your seams for cracks in the dicor and fix as necessary. Good luck
Yes, exactly! jujububbajr is correct!

For the life of me, I do not understand how all the RV makes get away with it
Because most RV buyers are more interested in floor plans and counterspace, rather than in the actual construction of their pricey units
JUST SAY NO TO LUAUN :)
