Delamination

[ThreeToGo]

Our 2006 fiberglass camper has some serious delamination in the nose cap. This started about a year and a half ago. It now looks like it has a very bad acne problem. Obviously, the camper is long out of warranty. The manufacturer is unable to repair it and suggested we take it to any "reputable service center". Has anybody else had experience with this problem? If so, please recommend a repair facility. Of course, we'd rather have it repaired locally but we are willing to drive some distance.
Incidentally, we have no idea as to the cause. I don't see anyplace where moisture could have gotten in from either the outside or inside of the camper.
We live in the Bay Area with some of the most ambient weather in the country. The camper has never been subjected to extreme heat or cold as we are fair weather campers. When not in use, the camper is stored under an ADCO cover. (We are on our second cover.)

Always good to hear from a person who owns the product and the experiences that they have encountered personally. I"ll keep this in mind.

I assume you are talking about a Host camper since thats what you have listed in your profile. Why is the manufacturer unable to repair it? Chances are if its a delam problem than somewhere you have moisture getting in to cause it. I always felt taking any RV back to the factory if possible is better than risking a repair with an RV dealership.

I own a Host Super C and we had some issues with our rig also. I personally talked with the owner of the company about my issues and he was basically worthless. we had to figure out how to make repairs on our own. I assume Host doesn't want to get involved with the delam repair. They are only good when you are buying a new product not repairing an older unit they built.

That being said, if you have a delam issue, you have a leak somewhere. Like many posters on these forums state, water can travel from a long distance before it shows damage. Good luck with your fix and keep us updated
