I have 2 decals that are starting to peel, is there any product that I can put around the edge to stop this. Thanks

I have trimmed them, a friend said to try putting clear fingernail polish on the edges but I have not tried that. Thanks

If you start putting bandaids on it like fingernail polish, you're probably asking for more trouble when you actually have to remove them and replace. Not adding more to the headache than I already have.

Does 3M supply all the graphics to most of the manufacturers to put on?

Our 2001 fifth does not have any peeling of the decals. My guess is the product changed to less quality.

Yeah but you have an Alpenlite lol lol....kinda wish I had kept mine cause the graphics on it were perfect, shoulda bought another Alpenlite lol lol....

It does seem most of the big RV manufactures are using cheap graphics and some have been for a while now. That includes some of the higher end rigs like my Montana??? Sad thing is it happens so much that they have to know that their graphics are terrible but they do nothing about it.....

Paint instead of decals. You can have decals made at a graphics shop that are a lot better quality. You would think the MFG would take some pride in their name on there product going down the road.

Yeah, not just a Keystone problem. A Forest River 5er near mine in storage has the complete front decal almost gone. And comments on here about other brands is also common.
Mine started peeling around the edges a couple years ago. I took a sharp knife and carefully trimmed the edges. The next year I did the same. It does help with the appearance, but does not seem to slow the rate. This year it is almost beyond trimming and I am starting to look at replacing them.

Ours all started to come off the TT after first 6 months. They have been covered by warrarnty.

Nature of the beast. It doesnt matter if it is a Keystone product or not. If it has decals they are going to peel. Marron seems to be the first to go.

Electric hair dryer and plastic scraper. In other words, take them off. They are dieing a fast death.

Keystone product? Chris
