    I did two applications and the graphics look great for there age. Its been over a month since doing and have no complaints.


    I just checked them out and it's out of stock. I also checked other sites including Amazon and it's discontinued. Maybe it's been replaced with a different product.

  • Once they crack or get chalky, replacement is really the only option worth bothering with.

    The removal process is pretty straight forward but it's a lot of work and fiddly to avoid scratching up the fiberglass.

    You can get replacements going online from many sources. They all tend to hold up for maybe 10yrs if you aren't storing inside. An alternative if you just have big swooshes is to tape around them prior to removing and then you can paint them back on. Use a good high quality paint (Brightside by interlux is good) and they will hold up for a long time and it's easy to do touchup if they get dinged.
  • We have a fifth wheel, but ordered all new decals for our well built 11 year old unit, from RV Decals Direct, a Canadian firm. These are not your typical RV decals, but high end vinyl coated decals that will not fade. They were spendy, but worth it to us. Check out their website to see if they have decals for your make and model.
  • I've got this issue. I've been told the only option I have is to have new decals put on - which you can order. The old decals, in theory, aren't hard to remove. However, in our case, we have hardware like the awning and rear ladder to remove first so we are considering a professional job. Rough estimate for our Class A is ~5k.
