Very common issue on all manufacturers. Very easy to fix and have fixed under warranty. If you research throughly, you'd find this info.

Very easy to fix ??? I don't think so !! If that unit has ANY delamination, I would run, not walk away from it.

Yep, common. All 3 of my 5th wheels had it. If you search this forum there is probably a dozen threads. Also on other forums it's common.
Cause is the factory uses too small of screws. They break and strip. My tech said it's a industry wide issue.

Yes, very easy to fix. Longer larger screws and some sealer.

It may be easy to fix but that would be a deal breaker for me. Many buyers don't do a thorough inspection and miss many problems.
