[font size="3"]I think you have to determine what is actually happening and distinguish between delamination and detachment. Delamination would be where the layers of Azdel are separating. Detachment is where the entire Azdel sheet is detaching from the wall or surface it is attached to. The Azdel sheets are adhered to the wall with adhesive at the LL factory. Heat is the enemy of any adhesive. Glues etc, soften and loosen at elevated temperatures. Command strips and other sticky things fall of the wall in a hot trailer. Temperatures will get very high in a closed trailer in Phoenix, especially in the sun. So your "delamination" may in fact be detachment due to adhesive failure in a hot closed trailer. This could be due to improper adhesive selection or improper application. Ventilation and shade will help. A cover, unless well ventilated and spaced away from the trailer, probably exacerbates the problem.

Well bad news, if you buy a used coach nothing is under warranty. Not so life time...
