Your van is too highly polished, all I can see are relictions of the garage door and what looks like a house window. I suggest you circle where you think the ripples are.

Re: External Wall - Rippling
You’ll get this on all Auto-Sleeper coachbuilts, as well as other makes, often highly visible if you look down the side of the vehicle, I think it’s due to the styrofoam beneath the plastic wall skin, some manufacturers use an aluminium skin which doesn’t show it any where near as bad but seems to dent or mark easier. It’s not very appealing visibly but nothing to worry about, if you look hard enough most motorhomes will show signs of this, some more noticeable than others.

If you are not happy, take it back to the dealer who supplied it to be checked over. No harm in doing that and getting the fact recorded that it has been looked at in case something crops up in the future.

Re: External Wall - Rippling
We had a ripple, or rather a crease, appear on the wall of our 2013 Broadway FB, between the fridge vents. AS came and looked at it and arranged to collect it for repair (They also fixed a bunch of other things too) This was when the van was around 18 months old.
I’m pretty sure it was the heat generated by the fridge that affected the insulation. I was told that AS had a couple more vans in for a similar fix It might be worth contacting AS to see what they say about yours.

Re: External Wall - Rippling
I've seen 'indents' on many makes of motorhome where the wooden framework in the wall is fixed to the outer skin. It has never bothered me. You could try pressing the wall inwards where there is a ripple. If there is any movement it needs fixing, otherwise its fine.
