Here is my question, who has personally seen a fiberglass trailer delaminate? A simple yes or no is all that's required. I personally have not seen one in my travels. Thanks.

I have seen many. Delamination of Filon, fiberglass and aluminum from their foam/Luan sub-base.

I have seen many in campgrounds. Most have poor/missing caulking in the vicinity of the delamination.
