Any need for the "Certified Green by TRA" and "RVIA" stickers on the side of my trailer? They both have ID #'s on them. I usually remove any decals and pin striping from my vehicles and now my trailer. I prefer the clean and advertisement free look.ThanksBrian

VIN/Data Plate only thing requiredStrip the rest of the stuff off it that is what you want to do.

I removed the name of our dealer they stuck on our TT. 4+ years later I can still see the outline of the letters.Only reason to leave them on would be if you ever wanted to sell it into Canada which I would guess unlikely...Are you thinking of removing the graphics too? Ours are starting to deteriorate slightly in a few spots at the edges due to shrinkage of the vinyl. I've seen a few RVs with graphics removed but it doesn't seem to look right without them. I wish I could remove ours because I know they're just going to get worse over time. We could have ordered painted on graphics when we ordered our TT at the dealer but we didn't want to spend the $$ at the time. Kinda wish we did now.

Kinda wish we did now.When I debadged my old truck I used some mild auto compound to get rid of the ghosting. Maybe try a good cleaner wax first. Might be a bit less aggressive than the compound.

I also like to pull off the stickers on the camper, I taped them on a sheet of paper and put it in the owner's manual that way they will stay with the camper. I used mayo to get most of the glue off and then the bad ones a mild buffing compound. Eventually they go away or you just don't notice them anymore. LOL

One word of warning. I have stayed in at least three RV parks that you have an RVIA placard on your rigs to stay there.

I wonder if that type of rule was adopted to discourage home built and school bus conversions. Have you had somebody come out to your commercially manufactured rig and actually look for the stickers?

I’ve seen the same requirement at campgrounds/RV Parks.

I’ve never had anyone look for the stickers, but I clearly have a commercially built rig.

A campground requiring an RVIA sticker is simply trying to eliminate school bus, and cargo trailer conversions (which look like **** anyhow), and is a simple foolproof way of doing this.

My cargo trailer conversion did not look like ****. It was very well done and received quite a few compliments.

Guess my friends setup wouldn't be welcome either...no stickers on it!

Manufacturers self certify their product. Well, that explains a lot, though I saw no reference to quality of what they build.

That certainly does explain a lot. It also tells me that those RVIA stickers are only for show and they don't mean squat.
