Definitely!! So...what about peeling decals?
Sorry, was trying to keep the topic on track. There are many things that will cause peeling decals. Heat, Quality of decals, what do you wash with, etc.
Peeling or not peeling decals would be on my list of "it happens" and would be dealt with at the time. We had peeling decals on a previous trailer. Removed the decals, liked the look and left it that way. If I cared, I would have hired a local paint shop or decal place and replaced with painted or locally sourced. But, it wasn't on the top of my list.
So peeling decals is not a sign of neglect?
Not at all. Could very well be old age, cheap material, etc. If you read between the lines of most of the 'how to wax' posts there are people that wax there RV 2-3 (or more) times per year that still get peeling decals. But they are probably taking better care than most with the rest of the RV.
If you are waxing improperly you could actually be causing the damage to the decals that caused the peeling. example: Wax with power brush and too much pressure could heat up or catch the edge of the decal.. Cleaning the bugs off of the front decal with scouring pad can scratch the finish off.
Too many variables to specifically say peeling decals are neglect.
