Yup, I agree. That frog just had to go. There are a number of youtube videos on how to remove graphics from an rv. The professionals use a torch to heat up the graphic and peal it off. I didn't have enough guts to try that so i used a heat gun, very lightly, to soften and peal the graphics off. It was still almost too much heat because the vinyl got real soft and pulled apart at times. I'd bet that a hair dryer would provide enough heat. Then i wiped the surface down with goo gone to remove any of the remaining adhesive. The process also worked great on all the pesky safety reminder tags.

I'm most likely removing the "frog on the lily pad" graphic. I think it is WAY too big and clutters things up on my 2016.

We've removed all the Forest River stickers, the warnings, and the side swoops. Just left the straight black line, and the thin line under it. It's a bare pod now and we no longer feel like a rolling ad billboard. Will most likely paint in the future. |

![]() The extremely "rare" Rover model! ![]() I am seriously considering removing the HUGE Forest River sticker. I have already taken over 20 "warning stickers" off the exterior of the Pod. I thing it will make for a much cleaner look. Opinions???? ![]() |

Do you travel with the generator in place? And how does the trailer tow with the weight of the dual batts and p tanks in addition, up front?

StephenH, they haven't been around in a year and a half. You might try IMing them so they get an email notification.

I am quite interested in both of these. Do you have more specific information (drawings, measurements, etc.) for them. I am especially interested in the generator rack. How has that worked for you? How much does it weigh? |

Thanks so much for the measurements and the edit. I was going to ask why you left space open for the furnace, since I thought the vent is near the bathroom.
