Decal free trailers - photos? - alternatives?
So our 2008 trailer's decals are all looking very, very rough, peeling, cracking and fading and I'm wondering if just going decal free wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm not keen to have them replaced if th...

Back in the days mostly on the hybrid side, someone wanted their HTT left plain...no decals of any kind. There was going to be a charge of something like $150 for NOT putting them on. Guess the manufacturer considered that a mod. All of the decals on our '07 ROO looked like brand new - we store under cover 24/7 - except for the rear bunkend that got the brunt of everything and it was drying and cracking. I called FR and they were still available for $50 or so + shipping. It was all of a 10 minute job to take my hair dryer and remove the old one. Then clean with mineral spirits, align the new one and you're done. The one change that we did differently than the instructions, after asking for forum input, was to wet the area with soapy water (Dawn) and then get the new one aligned correctly. Squeege the water out and it was dry in just a few minutes. We had done it that way with the decals on our boat years back and DH was very nervous about just trying to stick it on and have it perfect the first time. The soapy water is the solution.
My cousin and hubby in Houston store their TT at a storage lot so it got the full brunt of everything. They decided to replace and found it to be a PITA job. Even with the hair dryer, they picked tiny specks of their old decals for days and days. The new ones went on nicely and it looked good, but a job they said they would not do again. They did not have the smooth side exterior, so it was more of a project, but a nice finish. They did simple stripes.
Absolutely agree that some of the new graphics are just way too much. Our new Rockwood Ultra Lite, we feel, has enough to be interesting but not so much as to be downright ugly.
