wall bubbles

I have 50-100 small bubbles in the wall in the cabover. My MH is a 2006 forester. Anyone have this problem? They're hard and don't appear to be water damage???

I had little bubbles, I would stick a needle in one and see if there is water. I had to have my ceiling replaced on my slide because of a leak around the skylight.

"Casingoer" are those your pics or someone elses? The ones posted certainly look like water damage.

The pic belong to me, there was no water on the interior wall but must have been between the material, the bubbles above the slide out are now soft and can be pushed back in.
The problem with this kind of damage is that you don't what is going on until it is too late.

Had the same hard bubbles inside my tt. Also had delam on the outside. Both problems were water related.

air bubbles

I have several bubbles in my 2006 Forester as well. The location is the same and there appears to be no water damage otherwise. Is this delamination caused by water damage or streaching of the wall covering due to road stresses?

that is delam caused by either a bad layup from the factrory and high temps will cause this over time also the delam can be due to water damage. I work in aerospace and see this type of stuff on ocassion. a bad bond detween the layers of material or not enough time in the autoclave to bake out any trapped air or moisture will cause this. Water is usually the culprit if the layup was good from the factory. look for a leak that is allowing the moisture in.
