Angry Exterior Wall Construction

I have an 2004 Fleetwood Prowler Lynx Fifth Wheel it say Ultra Light aluminum construction. Unfortunately the wall in bathroom have bulges and at seam you can see some of panels separating. So can anyone explain how these exterior walls are constructed before I tear into them. Any assistance gladly accepted.

You can see seams on the outside of your RV? Isn't the outside smooth fiberglass?

Yes the outside is smooth and seamless. I was referring to the inside of an Exterior wall.

Inside will be just thin paneling. As you see seams I believe with aluminum uprights panels will be glued to them.

Are we saying where the seams are is where the aluminum studs should be?

If you can see where the seam is push with your hand. If no give that should mean a stud.
