RV Graphics Replacement

Has anyone dealt with the “RV Graphics Store”. My 2016 3160 RL needs most of the drivers side replaced after stirring in the sun for 9 years. They want $2100 for the one entire side. I’ll price the ones I need.

Thanks,

Back in 2021 we replaced a bunch of decals on our 2006 Montana. Found close match decals on Amazon from DB Graphics. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0032IP3EA...asin_title_0_2
Quality of the decals seemed to be very good and getting questions answered from them was easy. We did it ourselves. Lots of work getting the old off, surface prepared, and the new on. We were really pleased with the updated appearance of the rig.

Thanks. I sent a message them to see if they could produce the ones I need.

Does that include them removing and putting the new ones on?

They ship them to you. I would have to remove the old and install myself.

It is labor intensive. I replaced the front and rear decals on mine. I would hate to think of doing a whole side. If they are peeling around the edges but don’t have spider web cracking in the center areas then they may peel off in fairly large pieces using heat and a plastic scraper. But some of mine had a lot of center cracking and would not peel except in very small pieces. I had to use a drill and eraser wheel to get them off.

Mine was in covered storage but the rear got direct morning sun and the front got direct late afternoon sun. Both started cracking and peeling after about 4-5 years. I was fortunate enough to get Keystone to send replacements free of charge.

There are 7 of the graphic stripes that need replacing and they are all cracked from the sun. I priced these and they want about $1,600 just for those.

Yes, we purchased the entire graphics package for our 2006 295 RL Montana. These are high-quality graphics my brother-in-law worked for Boeing for 40 years painting, airplanes and installing graphics on commercial jets and he agreed that these were quality graphics. It is very labor-intensive to put these on because of the size of them. A word of warning these graphics were larger than the graphics that came on our RV.

Don’t know. A good friend had an aluminum travel trailer and his graphics cracked and peeled and looked really bad.

If I ever get another 5th wheel I will definitely consider full paint.

The aluminum siding stayed nice unlike gelcoat.

RV Graphis Replacement

Wow! I have a top corner graphic that has a small tear and I was hoping to replace it some day. The 2016/2017 graphics match my 2018 Montana. But I'm not going to pay $271 - and that's the "sale" price - for a single decal. Highway robbery!!
