Bessacarr 445

I'm a newbie
Hi
I have a Bessacarr e445 2003 which I purchased last march. I noticed when I cleaned the roof last September that the outer skin in a small place had come detached from the inner and when pressing your hand on it, it is like a bubble anyway I was away in it when we had the bad winds in November/December. When cleaning the roof this weekend the roof seems to have detached right across from one side to the other. I have a large solar panel attached to it. Is this going to be a massive issue.
I am looking for some good advice please.

Are you sure that it has delaminated, and it's not just the "floating roof" construction that some manufactures use, like our Elddis ?
 
Many motorhomes these days (including Swift) have 'floating roofs' where the outer skin is not bonded due to the differing expansion rates.
 
Floating roof, a forward thinking addition to cope with rising sea levels......😆
 
Is the solar panel just bonded to the top surface or screwed through ?

As I said it wasn’t no where near as bad as it was in September. The noise out of it when the wind gets hold of it is deafening but they were bad gales/winds
