Thanks Clint. one aspect to the mind that's amazing is that you can apply yourself to something unrelated, but because you are in the process of learning and exercising your head, you often find yourself with a better understanding of things related, even unrelated. In this since it helps to learn other repairs done for future needs.
Earlier I described about the overhead beam inside btwn the cabover and the main body. This is the one over your head while climbing into bed. I made the mistake stating that it is a hollow box type beam. It is indeed a solid beam... carries weight of the roof and approx 1/4th of the cabover roof weight. I'm sorry about mistake and wish not to make false statements.
I want everyone to know that I built a wall under this beam to help spread some of the roof load onto the main camper wall below. Its the wall w/ the small front window underneath the cabover and did this to eliminate some of the roof weight coming down on the cabover exterior sidewalls. This is a partial solution with a small benefit to the problem, but is nice to have a little more wall space, privacy and seperation to stop bedding from falling into the kitchen sink.
next will be addressing the full trial solution to the compression bulge issue to the cabover. My camper lasted 14 years w/o having the cabover delamination, but showed itself after a 3 month long winter camping inwhich I think condensation caused this compression bulge from the cabover weight.
Yes, I think a more appropriate term for the delamination in this area is a 'compression bulge'.
