Nose of Trailer looks bubbly?

[2014sunsetUL]

I bought a 2014 crossroads sunset camper. We love it and it is in great shape except for the front of it looks wavy/bubbly not sure the best description. I see nothing on the inside that alarms me but was curious if there is something I should do to the outside to fix this?

That sounds like a delamination issue. If the wall inside is solid then it probably won't be much more than a cosmetic problem. If the wall it soft, well, that's a problem.........

It is solid, that makes me feel better! I had planned on caulking all the seems to just be sure it stays dry, any product recommendations for caulk/sealer?

I agree with @Gronk it is mostly cosmetic. If you have a window up front you may have to reseat it to keep water out.

I am a big fan of silicone sealers, but to do the job and not create problems in the future, the only way is to remove the moldings and reseat them. To do that I use silicone sealers.

I assume that the roof is rubber if that is the case, consider cleaning it while you are at it. I would give it a proper coat of Henry's tropi-coat 100% silicone paint.

There is not a window, that is good! I just need to get her sealed up. Thank you both!

Delamination is a problem with a lot of the fiberglass campers both motorhomes, 5th wheel and pull behind campers. Yes it is a cosmetic situation when first noticed however can become a problem later. It also will be difficult if you want to sell or trade up. The problem is with the manufacture's and thier inability to recognize what they are doing wrong and not having the knowledge to correct it. If its under warranty they simply replace whatever side is the problem. I had a new 5th wheel that the dealer sent back to the factory to have one side and front and back replaced. When we got it back, with poor workmanship, we got rid of it as fast as we could. Went out for older 05 Holiday Rambler that has better quality, being older. Newer campers look very fancy but fancy does not hold them together. If I was looking at a new camper I would take my time and go over it with a fine tooth comb. Sorry to put this out but it's time to clean up another industry! New isn't always best and sometimes we oldies know more than you think!
