Good news. If you get away from the insane heat the waviness goes away.

Same here.  Have had the 179 for only 2 months and walls are wavy and seem to be pulling away.  Have not contacted dealer yet as I have a few other items that need correction.  I attest to ungodly heat in Phoenix.

I just had the same thing happen with my 2017 178, I think it has to do with the new style panels they are using for 2017.  The three sided panel seems fine (although it is wavy, the seals remain intact) but the single panel beside the door looks like it has expanded in the heat causing it to become wavy and separating from the wall.

I have to see how things go but will be calling the dealership as well.

Does anyone else have this problem with the newer style and has anyone heard of any dialogue form Forest River on this?

OK, it's insanely hot in Phoenix this week, we all know it. The bathroom walls in our new 179 are getting kind of wavy and deformed. Dealer says it's the heat and that's probably true. Has anyone else had this happen?
When we bought it, there was one big bubble at  the wall edge to the left of the door and the dealer fixed that very nicely. But now all the walls are not flat panels any longer.
