Saving your favorite bumper stickers

In August we purchased a new camper, I did not want to lose the bumper stickers that recorded our previous travels, especially the ones from Alaska. The solution was to gently use a heat gun to remove the stickers and temporarily put them on a piece of wax paper. Most I was able to simply reapply to the new camper, others I had to spray with adhesive before reapplying.

  • i like the magnetic strip ideas

    but don't have metal bumpers, we got 'No Bumpers'

    our stainless steel compartment doors are not very magnetic
  • go to a hobby store and get a sheet of that flexible magnet material. (like you see on some business card magnets. Stick the sticker on that and trim.

    I had quite the collection of various stickers on my beer fridge out in the garage. Was bummed when it died and had to say goodby to all those stickers that i amassed over the years. Now I do the magnet thing and can remove them when need be.
  • I like the idea of bumper stickers on the camper, but I don't like the idea of sticking them to it. What we do is go to lowes or home depot and by magnetic vent covers for your home. When we get a decal that we wanted to put on our bumper, we stick it to the magnetic vent cover, cut it out and then put it on the metal bumper. Works great. So when you go to resale, you won't have stickers on it that others will not want and you will not be out there scraping them off either.
  • Take a picture and put it in a scrapbook, even if you get to old bumper sticker off, is the quality good enough for your new RV.

  • The last time I got a devorce I had a bumper sticker on my pickup that said " Ex wife for sale, take over payments" The new wife found some way to get it off real fast.
  • I try to run under cover. Don't want people to know where I am, where I am going, or where I've been. Classified mode traveling. :B
  • Thanks for the tip on how to remove the "See Rock City" sticker on my bumper. :)
