paint bubbling on one side

[ynot]

thanx in advance

Need some additional details. How big are they? Can they be deflected when pressing on them? If so, it sounds like delamination that can occur when water has gotten into the area

I am going with charger man

water has gotten into the area

Find the leak, could be a water line.

Above you can see the water inlet was leaking several times over the 35 year lifespan of my Barth. Better inlets have pressure regulators built in to the inlet.

---

I installed a new water inlet and put the loop in the hose inlet line so I can change the orings in the water inlet. I can now repair the water inlet from the outside, sliding it out with the loop there. To do this I had to remove the refrigerator. Removing the refirgerator will not be necessary anymore when servicing the water inlet with the loop.

Most common leaks are from the roof.

It’s everywhere on the driver side kind of going diagonally you see it when in the sun
Paint look good when I press my hand on the the paint body looks firm but not smooth

Kinda sounds like the siding is deflecting from some type of settling/deflection of the framing structure. You see that sometimes on the sides of semi trailers

What is the year, make and model?

Has this just recently occurred or has it been this way for some time.

If you post some pics, we can tell what is going on and help advise. From far away straight on, and down the side so we can see any ripples.
