I have a 2006 Holiday Rambler Savoy SL. Today, I noticed the side of my TT had about a 2 foot area with a bubble under the siding. Any information from anyone is appreciated.
Thanks,

Delamination due to water intrusion or defective adhesive bond.
Either way, very complex and expensive to repair.

Depending on the type of material (Filon, Gelcoat, etc.), mositure may be causing a delamination process (glue separating from the material layers). It may also just be a defective panel.

Where is the effected area located (near roof, window, etc.)?
