someone on this board said it best - a travel trailers life is about 7-10 years.
Sometimes really anal owners will caulk and recaulk every year and are super diligent about water intrusion. Those TTs can last longer.
One thing to consider....
Once you stop the leak (critically important) - delam is really only a cosmetic issue. The trailer will still function properly and everything you were planning to do with it you still can. You will now just be doing it with an unsightly bulge under your window.
Now...resale is an entirely different situation as most RV owners know to avoid a trailer with any sign of delam...but in the meantime, either fix it and move on or just live with the damage and don't worry about it.
