Decal removal
What is the best way to remove decals from the side of my RV?

A single edge razor won't scratch a thing if you use it right.
I'd use a razor blade on the hood of a new car if I had to. Actually do sometimes if there's a stuck glob of sap or something
For me the method is different depending on the how the decal is coming up.
If it's newer and still pliable, usually can get it started with a razor.......or plastic scraper and then heat and peel. The right temp and rate and angle will take the glue with it and make the clean up easy.
Next is scrape/peel with a razor blade, use heat gun if it helps. No heat if they're too brittle. Glue clean up remaining I use lacquer thinner, acetone, prep sol, adhesive remover, etc. whatever I have laying around. Might scrape off solvent softened glue if it's not rubbing off easily.
The most stubborn decals or glue get an eraser wheel on a drill.
