Exterior Crack… Should I be worried?

Noticed a small crack spreading down from the bedroom slide (see pictures). I’ve been keeping an eye on it and it appears to be slowly spreading?

How concerned should I be? Should I drill a small hole in hopes to stop the spread?

Yes you should be concerned! And no I wouldn't drill a hole. That could void your warranty. This is likely caused by frame flex. You have a 3 year structural warranty. I'd use it! I've seen Montana's at the dealership opened up and under repair for this exact issue. Call Keystone and start a claim before your warranty expires.

I have a similar crack under my rear door side (Living Room) slide. Repair has been attempted twice. Rig goes back to dealer next week for third attempt. I have kept blue painter's tape over the crack to help prevent water intrusion until I can get it in for repair. Hopefully, third times a charm.
