2017 Sandpiper delam?

Would this be the dreaded delam that everyone has? I just found it on the side of our new fifth wheel.
It is soft i can push it in.

Good thing your under warranty! Get your dealer involved ASAP. I'd bet it will go back to the factory and get a new slide. I wouldn't settle for less.

Id just assume with all the ac problems and prior problems we had with our sierra it go back to the factory and stay! But that wont happen lol.

So i guess ill be out a camper for awhile with that.

We haven't had delam issues yet. Just leaky roof. Been back to the factory twice since we bought rig in another state no dealer near me would touch it. That was fine with me.

They'll take it back. They may try to pawn you off to a local dealer first but if you kill them with kindness they will definately work with.

Bubbles in the fiberglass

I have about 6 bubbles on the rear of my 2017 Sandpiper 5th wheel. Its at the dealer now getting a major hydraulic leak fixed. The factory build the unit with a hose between the frame and the water tank. Great huh. The AC problem is being fixed too we hope. Forest River send him repair kits saying not enough return vents were put in at the factory.

Lol i just replied back to ur other ac post.

Do they look like mine? I talked to Scott earlier today about it and its not delam. He talked to Jeff Johnson about it and said the glue is coming apart that the piece is glued onto a backing. Told me to take the window out and glue the bubble back down.

I have 5 return vents on the rear blizzard ac unit.
