2014 Shamrock delamination

[nixxer]

Hi everyone! I am new to all of this but was hoping for some advice. I have some delmanination on the front cap at the very bottom edge on my 2014 Shamrock. I do not see any signs of water intrusion and suspect it is from heat and poor gluing from day one. I can access the entire area from below (remove plastic corners and fastening trim), open with shims to inject epoxy and then clamp. I called West Systems and they recommended using their Six10 thickened epoxy product that can be applied with a caulking gun. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

If that's the area below the front bunk door, it is probably from water intrusion into the hinge/sill area or from the storage area just inside of the delam area.
My bet is leaks through the hinge area.

I also suspected that but there is absolutely no delamination below the hinge. It’s rock solid until about 6” from the bottom of the front cap.

Water can follow many paths.
Doesn't mean that it didn't enter through the hinge/sill area.

In my nearly 20 years of being on various Hybrid forums, I've seen this kind of delam numerous times.
Almost always it's either water draining down from the hinge/sill area or water lines/water heater along the front compartment.

This area of delam is not common in regular travel trailers. So you have to suspect the front bunk sill area since water often pools there after putting away wet canvas or leaking door seals.

I appreciate the information. Any recommendations besides making sure all seams are sealed up around the hinge and bunk end? What do you think of using the Six10 epoxy?

Don't know anything about Six10.
I would recommend examining the storage area under the sill and removing the hinge and inspecting.

Could be water pooling in the storage area and seeping into the front wall.
Is the water heater in the front?
