Put a hair dryer to the stickers. Works like a charm!

I recently used Goo Gone to remove our stickers' residue and it worked perfectly. Use a soft cloth rather than a blue shop towel to do the job.

Hi Donnie, nice mods! Here is a shot of my Pod and scope at Lathrop State Park near Walsenberg, CO. Those are the Spanish Peaks and my 20" Obsession in the background.

Go ahead and use the Goo Gone. It will not hurt the fiberglass exterior. You will likely find that the dullness you see is adhesive residue.You could also use mineral spirits (old type or the newer low-volatility, odorless type) as this will also not hurt the fiberglass or clear-coat. Use a good wax (I use Turtle Wax Ice) afterward.
I used odorless mineral spirits (has a milky look) to remove old lap sealant when I re-did the spoiler. It removed the old lap sealant easily. Alcohol would clean the old sealant, but would not remove it. |

Thanks! We're packing up now for our very first trip! Hurricane Matthew showed up the day after we brought the pod home from the dealer so we've been doing a few mods and stocking up. The only problem we're having is getting the adhesive off from the eleventy-billion stickers on the thing. The Zamp sticker next to the door was put on before the clear coat and you can tell it's not as shiny underneath as the rest of the front. I tried alcohol on the sticky stuff but I'm afraid of making things worse if I use Goo-gone. Nobody else will ever notice, I guess. This weekend is the CHAOS Star Party at Staunton River State Park in Virginia. The new bike rack is installed and we'll post pics of it and the trip soon.

Thanks! The fan cover wasn't hard to install and only took about 30 minutes. We set it on top first to check the air flow and couldn't really tell a difference in the amount of air moving through. I used a ladder and put one knee on the roof. The dealer had told us not to walk on the roof but the service guy told us he walks on them all the time. Decided not to chance it. I wrapped the legs of the ladder in towels to keep from scratching the pod. My wife helped with the screws from the inside. The cover really is nice and we found the best price at Amazon.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I was in Germany all week for work. Ours has just one step and although it's a little high, we're ok with it for now. If you decide to redo yours with twin beds it probably depends on the height of the person sleeping on the dinette side. If they're short enough, you might get away with leaving the seat back, if not I agree it might have to come out. Good luck!
