Some call it delamination. But we have the weirdest looking issue on both sides of our 35' 2006 Class A. Obviously moisture got in behind at some point and it not only has bubbled a little in a few spots, but there's an area I would say about 24 square feet that looks like a shotgun blast. Hundreds of tiny holes the size of a pencil eraser. It was like this when I bought the MH one year ago. And because it was a cosmetic issue, I chose to make the purchase anyway because I liked everything about the RV. But now I want to fix this. Any suggestions out there ? Sure have been enjoying the responses from all of you our there. Much appreciated always.

Man, that will be a 3' x 8' area. The first thing I would do is locate the moisture source and eliminate it, then attack the holes.
Do you have a boat repair shop nearby that is good with fiberglass and gel-coat repair?

Tiny pits in the fiberglass surface is a chemical problem in the resin. A few brands of RV have suffered it, e.g. Alfa Leisure, but I've not ever seen a report of it on a Triple E.

The solution is to grind/sand it down, fill and re-paint. Not an inexpensive thing. You need a marine or auto body shop experienced with fiberglass bodies and gel coat repair.
