Bubbles in rear wall of 5th wheel

Hello Friends...

Can anyone out there tell me if the back wall on the Crossroads Cruiser 5th wheel is glued. I was told by the dealer where I purchased my rig, that the back wall was not glued. I recently discovered that I have a few bubbles in the rear wall and am trying to figure out if there is a leak.

Do you have any pictures of the type of rear wall you have?

What year? Some of the rv's come with something called a soft wall. It is not laminated like the side walls. (I had one) After a few years the bubbles appeared. Water was leaking in from the top running lights. The hole was 1" in diameter for a 1/8" wire. I filled the holes in with rubber caulk and the caulked around the top and sides of the lens of the light.

Not on my Cruiser, I have a rear full fiberglass cap. Previous trailer was laminated fiberglass rear wall and I'm pretty sure it wasn't glued. It didn't bubble in four years I had it but I think Marks on the right track with possible water intrusion.
