Bumps on the wall.

This weekend we noticed bumps on the front wall of our 2014 195bh. You can only imagine how frustrating it is to be 5 mins from the dealer camping on a Sunday and no body is there to answer the phone. So we had to pack camp and drive an hour in the opposite direction home. Now I am getting a list of things that need looked at before my warrenty runs out. Any body had these bumps before?

Don't think it's anything that develops. Looks more like something that happened to the laminate prior to installation.

It is water damage from a leak. The particle board got wet and expanded. Don't sit on this.

Don't see how it could be water damage, per your explanation. Ours is on a vertical wall, with no wood behind it.

Having worked at a cabinet shop that used lots of laminate, it looks like debris was on it while it was in a press.

Hey jawga, i pm'd you to let you know about my bumps I'm my wall. I too think it is from water. Some kind of weird reaction to the wallpaper glue maybe. It's just weird that it's there on that sloped wall and not all the way across. Only way in I I see is roof seam or marker light on the front. I will say this....I had called the after the first rain we had because of water in my cabinet above my bed but on the drivers side. That only happened once though. We have had 4 serious storms since and nothing. And...I wash it every time we come back from the woods, and no leaks. By the way, how are your tires wearing on the inside tread row. We have 300 miles on ours and the tires are over half worn off only on the inside tread.....hmmmmm.


2014 Wildwood X-lite 195bh......Happy camping.

Water Damage, had it happen to one of our RVs several years ago. Do not wait, get it dried out and repaired.

Hate to tell you this but it is most likely water damage. The same type of bubbles showed up on the slide out ceiling in our 2014 27DBUD. Got it repaired under warranty and is good as new. Good luck

I may not be explaining it right but I have had this happen to a couple of friends trailers. It is water damage.

water damage only takes one time especially when it come to mdf type boards. the inside of our tires are worn but dont seem to be getting any worse after several thousand miles. not sure if it was like that when we bought it since i didnt know that is something that needed to be looked at. I'm waiting to see what the outcome is for other people on their axles
