I used a 1/4" paint brush and keep it thin if the foil bubbles a bit don't try to push it down as I found it went back as it dryed

OK, It's not just my 2014 Warwick XL that's shedding its skin.
Every cupboard door, the locker door and the bathroom door is impacted.
Along with the camera (gave up the ghost), cheap materials being used.
I would hate to be paying the eye-watering prices they're now asking for a Warwick XL, considering nothing seems to have changed in them.

Colin.

As far as the cupboard doors are concerned, I think they must have addressed the issue at some point. I (touching big wood) haven’t had this issue and I haven’t heard of the problem in other recent vans.
Of course this may be an age related problem and my van is yet to experience it but I’m fairly confident it will be fine.

We have a 2016 WXL and no problems with the peeling, I think most of it is caused by the sun coming threw the sky lights, if your camera has just packed up it hasn’t done bad nearly 9 years old

Milliways wrote:We had AS replace all of our overhead cabinet doors on our Kingham (well they did most of them and the rest are booked in) as the laminate was peeling. Had to send a door back to AS to prove the defect which took our dealer too long, and apparently the newer models are using a different covering.
Well I'll check that out in a few weeks

That post was in 2019 regarding a 2015 van (which I believe is when these problems were). I suspect your van will hopefully be fine.
