So if there's Luan backing on a hung wall system, what's to keep the Luan from separating from the fiberglass should there be a leak? The fiberglass exterior is glued to the Luan, so the only adhesion is where the Luan meets the stud. I don't see it as delam proof. Still trying to figure out why hung walls are superior.

I had to fix my closet where the previous owner missed a leak and yes the luan board will delaminate. However, I was able to replace the damaged wood fairly easy and repair all the water damage to as new condition. I was able to disassemble the wall and rebuild it with new materials. I think this is one of the advantages of a hung wall type construction. Both wall construction techniques are very good and will last the life of the coach provided maintenance is kept up with minimal leaks. I believe that most all rvs will leak at times and some damage will occur that will require repair and I believe hung walls will be easier to repair.
