Dealer omissions? Delamination

[1382jcs]

I have finally figured out what I want in a fifth wheel and went out to a few dealerships to get some in-person perspective. I was shown one that would fit the bill quite nicely. A 2013 Sundance 3300 (38'). That said I noticed some bubbles near the roofline along one side, ranging from a couple of inches down from the roof to a bubble about 8"x8" a few inches down from the roof. I asked the dealer about it possibly being water damage and was told that the walls sometimes 'just did that' & that if there really was a leak, it would be obvious from the inside given all the recent rain. The inside was great. I'm sorry to say that I did put $ down... but I refused to finish signing the paperwork when I realized that they were only proposing to re-caulk 'if necessary'.

I've done some focused reading & would appreciate a reality check...
- the bubbling really is most likely water damage &I really can happen even to a 'young' unit
- it may not be 'major', but their ' deny a probable problem' approach tells me I should walk away

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Look at the PPL website for options. Much inventory and for pricing check.

X2 never ever beleave a sales person, they just want your money, you are a wise person, keep doing your home work and a great rv will show up.

Good idea. It's one thing to find it after the sale. It's another to find it before the deal when you have options!

Many thanks for the quick replies!

Walk away from the unit and the dealer.
