back wall

We just picked up a new cougar 326rds in Tucson and brought it back to Vegas. I was cleaning it up and noticed that the back wall is made of a different material than the rest of the outside walls. I can see what appears to be fiberglass in the back wall and the rest looks smooth like a gel coat on a boat. The entire back wall appears to be loose everywhere and not the same construction as the side walls. I am not too concerned just wondering if this is how they are all constructed.

In many units the back wall is constructed differently than the "layered" side walls. It does flex due to the fact that it is fastened only at the top, bottom and the sides. The rear window "holds" that portion of the rear wall in place. It does flex unlike the side walls and you are right that it looks and feels differently than the sides.

The flexing is normal and you needn't be concerned that there is a problem "back there".

thanks for the quick reply. I kinda figured that was the case, just hadn't seen it done like that before, but this IS only my second Rv.

Yes the rear wall is a hung construction method and the side walls are laminated construction.
