Most leaks aren’t in the main part of the material that covers the TC. Most leaks seem to be in marker lights followed by other holes made installing antennas, sky lights, etc. Those leaks seem to be the cause of the delamination. Water has to enter somewhere to penetrate the filon.
The advantage of a Bigfoot/Northern Lite vs other types is fiberglass generally doesn’t delaminate. :D Although there was the guy who bought a new Northern Lite who posted here about a similar buckle in his new one. That being said, aluminum doesn’t delaminate, and Azdel doesn’t either. Filon processes not done right will definitely delaminate if done wrong and a leak happens.
If you do have a leak in a Bigfoot/Northern Lite, good luck fixing it once the insulation collects water. Host has a vacuum process to build their walls. So far, my almost 14 year old TC outside is fine. (It was actually built in 2005. YMMV.
As noted, if you want a slide, Northern Lite is off the table. There are some Bigfoots with a slide.
Seams along every corner and edge can leak. Seams that don’t exist can’t.
Slides are virtually guaranteed future leaks and trouble.
That’s why the good rigs don’t have them.
