We have an older Vectra (94) in good condition. Lately, however, we have noticed bubbles in the exterior siding running up the sides of the motorcoach. Is there anything that can be done to stop this? Is it an expensive proposition?

Have you been up on your roof lately? You may have some seals between roof and side wall curved dressing that is allowing water to get into your wall. Some Winnie owners have used Eternabond tape. Go to "FIND" just above you and type in "water leaks roof" leave the check mark. You will fine your answer there. "007"

Sounds like delamination of the fiberglass walls. Delamination is most often caused by water leaks, though not always. Have you had the roof seals inspected/repaired on a regular basis?? My manual tells me to have it done either once or twice a year. What 007 is referring to is that some Winnebago owners have used Eternabond tape along each side over the roof seals AFTER cleaning and repairing them to ensure they are in good shape. You might have a dealer look at the delamination ...they might be able to repair it by injecting adhesive. But your first concern needs to be to ensure you do not have a water leak, with water inside the walls.
