Wallpaper pulling away and buckling

We have a 2008 Destination. The wall paper/contact paper is pulling away from the windows and in some areas around the slide out. Looks like the glue gave up and started to melt away. If there are any ideas you have it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to find the same wall covering and patch it back in. Have emailed Winnebago for advice, but haven't heard back. Looks real bad in places.
Thanks,
Lu

I have seen this caused by heat....ie storing out in the hot sun. But one more thing to check is make sure that you are not getting any water leaks behind the areas. Windows will leak after a few years.

We had one RV, A Pace Arrow, that had the vinyl wall cover pulling at some of the corners. I found that I could take a small sharp knife and carefully slit the puckered spot. I use a wall paper (Vinyl to vinyl) paste to stick the areas back down. It seems to hold up pretty good in the Texas heat.

No window leaks. I do think that it is the heat. But I should be able to fix it. Thanks

I have found that same problem in my old pull camper I use for the hunting property.

The easy way to ease the heat problems for me was to buy some foam A/C filters from Wal Mart. Cut the foam to the size of the window and insert the fitted piece between the glass and screen.

This allowed air to flow thru the camper, without allowing dust and pollen inside. On the really hot days I use a small fan to move more air.
