Fiberglass crazing

Howdy,
Seems like I have a lot of little problems lately.
Our 03 Itasca Suncruiser has a good bit of crazing in the fiberglass skin. I noticed a few posts from 2007 and 2008 about this problem, does anyone have any more current solution to this problem? Is "New Glass 2" a good product to use to repair a problem like this?

I noted in one of the old posts a note that Winnebago had a lot of problems like this in the 2001 to 2003 model years. Just our luck.

Our old Suncruiser 1995 had very badly oxidized fiberglass but I never saw a problem like this. I worked hard and was able to get a good shine on the fiberglass.

Thanks for your help.

A few years ago we had the same problem, Winnebago agreed to repaint the coach they advised there was a problem with the white used on some 01-03 coaches, I can't complain about that, now it looks like new. One drawback at the time they would not go for full body paint. Yours is an 03 give it a try ask them to look at it.

If you are referring to many fine cracks in the filon, the only fix is to either have the sidewalls replaced ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) or have the coach sanded, primed with high fill primer, and painted. Some folks claim a product called Poli Glow will take care of it but I believe that is a temporary fix that requires at least an annual re-application.

Our coach developed this problem and we decided to have a full body paint job done.
