I know I have seen posts on delamination where there is a bubble or bubbles in the fiberglass on the trailer body. I have an 2017 179 and just noticed I have a bubble about 6" X 12" in the fiberglass near the outside light. I have no idea what to do or who to contact except the dealer. My extended warranty runs out in Jul 18. Any help, POCs, or information on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

I've had the delamination experience with a motor home after getting stuck in a Nor'easter on the east coast. Best advice use your warranty and contact dealer ASAP, it only gets worse. There are several repair methods, probably best is to inject adhesive and apply pressure. That method can require drilling holes and some resurfacing. Best done by pro. The interweb has a lot of info on delamination. Use your warranty.

Agreed, contact your dealer. It can be fixed, and some have done it themselves..But if under warranty.. that's what it's for. As a note.. it is literally backlog season at most dealers.. don't wait.
