MDF doesn't typically have the same expansion and contraction characteristics that wood has.
What are you attaching the sheets to? Wood studs or Steel trailer studs? If it's attached to wood studs  it could be an issue of the studs drying out?
Would really need to see it.
I used the same product in my motorcycle race trailer when I finished out the living quaters.
Don't remember any issues screwing to both wood and steel studs throughout the different seasons.

its wood studs.

expansion is like 1/2" in 3 places over 4', i doubt the studs moved that much.  the aluminum counter top i glued on is fine also.

That sounds very cool!
Would be interested in details, the 5gal in the popup failed pressure test. Not sure where it popped, but it’s toast somewhere.

i was down to two in my cart.  opted for the more spendy one that had a 5yr warranty, no shut of timer, and a flow switch as opposed to a pressure switch for htr enable.
