Blesters on the body skin of my motor home

I think you will find that, the material is not " Aluminium" but an Aluminium Alloy, corrosion in AA, is sortable using chemicals, sadly I am no longer upto date in corrosion control on aircraft structures, and nowadays, the structures are composite materials. Carbon fibre and Fiberglass.

I too can endorse Martin and Sam Lovell Motorhome and caravan repairs. They fixed mine last year, brilliant.

Where is the OP?

Everyone has assumed this panel is aluminium, it may of course be GRP, and if so those areas can be ground out and filled.
Either way I would recommend you find out who your local coach firm use for their body repairs. Motorhomes, caravans and coaches are very similar in construction so they will have first hand knowledge of suitable repairs.
I would not go to a car body workshop as they will not have the in depth knowledge of a coach/bus repair business.
Some years ago I damaged the rear (GRP) panel on my M/H, I visited my local coach repair workshop to get a quote as I envisaged an entire new rear panel. They repaired it for less than my insurance excess!

Usually GRP has the pigment in the gel coat resin.. I've seen it flake or spiders web but not bubble(unless someone's coated it with a spray) it's difficult without seeing it... aluminium doesn't like salt,,stone chips and winter..👌

One of the biggest problems with this and other Forums is the lack of follow up by the OP. A real shame because the final answer goes a long way for Forumites to help others in the future
