I feel your pain, delam usually means water inside the walls, need to check for leaks, than worry about the fix,

I had many leaks ( Truck Camper ),Remove trim in affected area , peal it back, try to clean it and get it flat and reglue it,
Takes a lot of patience,

Where exactly is the delam's, what make of camper
Pictures???

John,
Delaming is the nemesis of the bonded wall. It has nothing to do with filon. Aluminum does it and so does a gel coated wall. As stated, you have to keep the water out of the wall. Seems the newer coaches are doing much better, but the framed wall with hung wall seems to be the most durable. It usually means a heavier rig.
