I have a couple of line bubbles like that in my unit too which came with it when I bought it.  One is in the living area and the other in the bedroom.

I suspect that they come from inner skin flex, either from road travel or thermal expansion/contraction, and the glue/wallpaper wasn't sufficiently elastic to recover.

I have some of that in my coach. Most of it is covered with a trim strip covered with matching wallpaper.  They didn't bother to cover the place behind the couch as it doesn't show up until the couch is made into a bed or removed.  I always thought a joint between two pieces of plywood was behind the bubble, but I could be wrong as I have never had to remove or replace any of the wallpaper which seems to be plastic rather than paper.
