Is this Clearcoat Peeling Off

On a seven week “shakedown” trip with our new to us 2018 Classic and noticed this. Wasn’t there when we left home. Is it the clearcoat peeling off? Only this small patch so far. Anyone else experienced this?

Best of luck...

As requested last 6 of my VIN are 543813. Phone number is 515-520-9056. Please note I already have an appointment at Jackson Center on 17 March. My two year warranty expires in April.

We made this appointment some time ago after first purchasing the camper from the original buyer. We are taking a seven week trip now anticipating that we might find some warranty issues.

Please confirm that we have indeed gotten the warranty transferred. Original owner was Michael Tepp. I think we have it but just want to verify.

Thanks

Dave Jones
