Bulge in aluminum siding

Just bought a used 2015 Jayco and after I got it home I noticed a bulge in the siding. After some reading it sounds like it could be the siding was cut too long or wasn't properly stapled to the 2x2 behind it.

Should I worry about it and get it fixed? Or If its purely cosmetic, i'm thinking i'll just leave it alone. Photos attached

Thanks!
-Luke

I would leave it alone. Not an RV is perfect.

Darn it if you would have caught it before you bought it you could have got more off...

I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.. just keep an eye on it so it doesn't get worse.. also depending on if it faces the sun or not it might come out further.. worth a look.

I figured it wouldn't be a problem, but I wasn't sure if it might cause water intrusion problems down the road. i'll keep an eye on it.

What would it take to fix this incase I need to later on?

All the paneling on that side from the top down to the affected area would have to be removed. Then the issue would be addressed, be it just a few loose staples or a bulge in the plywood. It looks fairly minor in the pics so I would agree with others and keep an eye on it. If you press on it gently does it give and push in or feel firm like the wood behind it is bowed?
