Delamination on my 2008 Keystone Cougar

[Keithcanuck]

This year while checking my 5th wheel over and tidying things up, I noticed that the rear panel, near the top and close to the ladder, had come away from the trailer. It had been well caulked etc. and I am surprised to find it. Is it best to have a dealer repair it - try one of those advertised repair kits or try to find a company that specializes in it? What if I just leave it alone and keep it sealed? I would appreciate any response. Thanks members.

The rear panel of the trailer is not constructed the same as the side walls nor is it attached the same way.

The rear panel is a single layer and is really held in place only along the top, bottom, and on each side and by the rear window. If you push on it, it will give and feel like it is "loose" but that is quite normal and not cause for concern. It isn't delamination - it's just the way the back wall is fastened to the TT.

Festus2 is spot on, my 08 245rks Cougar has a wavy back wall. Definitely constructed different from the side walls which are laminated/glued.
