I posted elsewhere about this same issue. What are owners doing about it? Going back to the dealer, DIY fixes, contacting FR directly?

I have never visited Michigan. When is a great time of year to visit? Just finished Cherry Festival week in Traverse City, ended with a finale of the Thunderbirds flying team. Summers are always a hit, lots of water and beaches. Where we reside (25 miles north of Traverse City) the very end of September thru mid October you find the forests ablaze with spectacular color. Reds, yellows, oranges, and violets will make your eyes dance with amazement. If you like picking sweet cherries there are many orchards you can go to and pick to your hearts, and appetites content right now! |

I think the issue is expansion with heat. The one piece, three sided panel that goes around from behind the toilet, along the outside wall and then wraps around to include the sink seems to hold it's shape ok, it just gets a bit warpy when the heat is high. The single panel beside the door (immediately to your left as you open the door) is the problem, it pulls away from the wall because it is fastened securely at the bottom and the top by the screws as well as the screws for the pocket-hanger that is attached.
It looks like they changed materials but didn't take into account thermal expansion. K&S

Would like to know the answer to this, too! Have a 2017 179 but haven't notice panel deformation, yet. Been in the 90's for the last few weeks here and have not peeked in the trailer since before the heat.

Sounds delightful. We'd probably need sweatshirts!

Come to northern Michigan to escape the heat. Our high was 68, but it was misty and cloudy all day long.
