I've got to chime in here with just an opinion.
One of my best friends has a Raptor Toyhauler, 3 years old. Constantly rains here in the PNW. But he keeps his covered all year long, and all the graphics are in perfect condition.
OP lives in NC. Not the best places for decals. Warm, wet, sunny, freezing, and muggy all wrapped up in one year. I see raindrops in one pic. Has the coach been covered all it's life, or left exposed to the elements? Are you full-timing with it, thereby not covering it at all?
In the end, they're just stickers. Sure, they're supposed to be good, but this is why car manufacturers don't use them.
Again, my opinion only here, but everyone is blasting the MFG. Is there the slightest possibility it could have been stored better?
How about the 5 months in AZ, TX or FL? P/U trucks use decals that last over 10 years. My opinion only is, the ones used on RV's are inferior! Our 5th wheel has spent 6 winters in AZ. The truck is 3 years older and has also spent 6 winters in AZ and is in the sun more than the 5th wheel. The truck decals are fine. The 5th wheels decals are peeling. The impact on resale value of peeling decals on an RV is very significant.
