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. |

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.

What the best way to remove that bad boy?

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.

My WAF request just got granted. I'll be removing it the next time it gets above 60F. How to take if off: just peel it on a warmish day, just start an edge and keep going carefully.

You might just try pulling it off first. We just lifted up an edge with a fingernail and then just pulled them off. All our graphics came off with no heat or other special process. Our pod is a new pod though.

Somewhere there are pics of mine w/o front or back graphics. They kept getting destroyed by winter weather.
Edit: found it |

My 2010 RP-151 actually had a recall for the "peeling decals".

I just came in from peeling off the frog. Between peeling the decal and removing the remaining spots of adhesive, it took me less than 10 minutes. The few small spots of adhesive came right off with alcohol and a rag.
