The backstory:
We have a 2014 Dutchmen Infinity fifth wheel. We purchased the unit used from Camping World in 2018. In 2019 we had the roof "bubbling" where basically there was a pocket that was catching air as we would drive down the road. The solution was to remove the air and re-adhere the membrane that was separating. I have limited knowledge of RV roofs, but apparently the layer above the "rubber roof" was what was bubbling.
Currently, we have a new "bubble" in the back of the rig. We have no leaks and the roof is solid to walk on, but this is the diagnosis from Camping World:
Anyone with experience, does it sound like my roof needs to be replaced to you?

Currently, we have a new "bubble" in the back of the rig. We have no leaks and the roof is solid to walk on, but this is the diagnosis from Camping World:
"the roof is unable to be repaired in the bubbling section due to the wood separating from the material. If we were to try and inject adhesive it would not hold the roof since there is adhesive already applied to the wood from the original install and it would not dry properly. The technicians' recommendation is to have the roof replaced which is roughly 48 hours of labor"
Does anyone have some insight about this? Any questions I should ask the technician when I speak to him tomorrow? Anyone with experience, does it sound like my roof needs to be replaced to you?
