Any time there is a serious amount of delamination my first reaction is the coach was not protected from excessive heat.
I have not heard of or had the opportunity to measure how hot a coach can get, especially with the hot temperatures we have been having around the country, but I would surmise it is more than enough to soften the contact adhesive. In the industry if a piece of laminate has to be removed the easiest and cleanest way is to heat up the laminate, softening the contact adhesive and allowing the laminate to be lifted off.
I don't think the issue is a vitricor issue as much as one in which a coach with a laminated interior was allowed to be exposed to high interior temperatures.
Except for those conversions that have used wood interiors such as Royale and early CC, I think all converters make use of laminates for their interiors.
I have no knowledge of the specific coach David refers to, but my guess is that coach was not protected inside a building or under cover, nor was it kept powered up with some AC running.
