    Interior Wall Covering Bubbling

    I first noticed the interior wall covering/wallpaper bubbling in the bedroom above the TV. Know I've found a few other spots elsewhere. Is there a quick fix? inject glue, heat gun, etc.?

    You may want to check those bubbles for leaks. Poke the bubbles with a sharp pin and press with a tissue to see if water comes out. If it hasnt rained in some time you may want to re check right after a rainfall before you glue.

    I just found bubbles on the passenger side between the rear window and the slide on my 315rlts. I had never noticed them before. I did put a hole in them and liquid came out. The wall seems solid behind them and I see no imperfections on the exterior wall or any source for leaks on the exterior wall or slide gasket or the roof. I have no clue where the water could be coming from or why it is revealing itself as unconnected bubbles rather than one long connected bubble.

    I had the same thing with my reflection on the passenger side slide under the window,it was a water leak . It was covered under the warranty.

    Thanks Eagles01. What is weird on mine is that it is beside the window and not under it. I guess I should take it to the dealer and have them check it out. Unfortunately mine is no longer under warranty.

    It's useful to create a "signature" in your user profile here that reports at least the year and model of your trailer, so others can help you more specifically.

    Without one I don't know the year of your trailer... is it more than three years old? GD trailers have a one-year warranty on many things, but a three-year warranty covering structural issues.

    Before taking the trailer, you might climb a ladder and check the top of the window on the outside. One of our bedroom windows was installed askew- the leading edge and bottom were flush with the outside shell. The top following edge had a gap that started small, but enlarged to 1/4” at the rear and slightly down the back edge. Only noticed water on the floor after washing the trailer. I didn’t want to wait to locate and buy Poly-cor (recommended by most here) so I caulked with outdoor adhesive caulk- that was a year ago. Check on it all the time-still good, and no puddles!

    Thanks, I have looked at it, but only from the ground. I'll check it from the roof and hopefully see the problem. the strange thing is that this only happen once on a trip in June. Not before and not since.
