Columbus Compass Crack in side of wall

Our compass has developed a crack by upstairs bedroom slide. How do you fix this? We have a extended warranty who can fix it? Has anyone else seen this before?

If you are still under warranty have a professional fix it. If it was out of warranty I would stop drill the crack.

In our Columbus group many have had the crack, in fact we found 2 of our members have cracked in the living room walls on a 366 1492

A crack below the bedroom slide in a corner is pretty common, they just need to put in a stress relief strip from the corner to the bottom of the side of the trailer. On some models there is not enough meat on the bottom side to withstand the flexing of the RV. A dealer should be able to do that for you.
