Tiny Bubbles

Yahoo Message Number: 9962
Has anyone had any small bubbles start appearing in their wallpaper? I am in a site where I stay throughout the year. I've had the coach for about 18 months now and just after the start of the nice weather, here in the Northeast, I saw a few bubbles start to appear on the wallpaper in the bedroom slide. At first there were only a few so I did not think much of it, but now the amount of the bubbles has increased exponentially. I've looked at all of the walls but it is only happening in the bedroom slide and only on one side of the slide. It's the part of the slide that faces the front of the coach.
The bubbles are soft to the touch and there appears to be a horizontal bias to their pattern. The bubbles are clustered together and are in 4 distinct clusters. I've called CC and sent an e-mail to Jim Cooley and am waiting for a reply. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Jose',

The same wall in our slide room developed what looked like many small bumps about 1/8" to 1/4" in diameter. Then I noticed that one of the screws holding the sconce light to the wall started showing corrosion. As I found out later, the little bumps were signs that the material behind the wallpaper was collecting moisture and swelling. It was all due to a water leak that initially left signs on the floor, but also soaked into the interior regions of the wall. Our water leak caused damage which required replacement of wall paper and other materials in the area. The source of our leak was the (exterior) flashing at the top of that same wall -- it wasn't sealed properly. It took three attempts (service visits) to nail down and fix the source of this water leak.

Hope this helps.
