I will get up and check mine once the weather clears. Also look at the front and rear mouldings, mine has a small crack on the inside corner where the lid is recessed. I have been told it is only the gel coat and it is not cracked right through. I will still be getting it fixed at the first service.

Hopefully it's an easy fix. I have heard of older Jayco caravans suffering cracking, but not on newer ones. They may end up replacing the whole wall if it can't be repaired. Luckily it will be covered by warranty. Hope all goes well.
Cheers

Showed those cracks to my lad whos a Shipwright, he mainly is working with glass everyday, he had the opinion that it has been hit with something & fractured the glass.
The fix was to grind out the cracks, put a thin layer of fibre glass to the repaired area & re-gel coat, possibly paint the panel.
Good luck with the service @Jamcor 8-)

Rang jayco's and they are going to try for warranty but can't guarantee anything as it 18months old.$50 000 dollar van and only 1 year warranty is weak I think

Push the issue with them, it shouldn't be happening...they had this issue with some earlier models too, may need to do a bit of research on it so you have some ammo.
