Factory Decal Removal

[frethel]

Anyone know of an easy way to remove the factory decals from a vinyl? sided travel trailer? I have a 2008 Gulfstream Ameri-Lite 21MBLE and the Ameri-Lite decals are pealing and torn. The body panels are in perfect condition, so I don't want to risk damaging them trying to get the decals off.

There is no easy way to remove the decals, it takes lots of time, patience and elbow grease. I used a heat gun, plastic scrapers, and an eraser wheel to remove the decals on our MH, then a gallon of acetone to remove the glue residue. In all, it took me 22 hours to get off what I could. There is still some decal striping at the top of the MH, but I am not steady enough to be on a ladder to remove them so they will get removed by the people who are going to paint our MH.

I used a hand-held garmet steamer. Just a little steam at a time, takes patience. Some people use a hair dryer. I used a little WD40 on a cloth to get the glue off. Very tedious work and time to do it.
