The front decal of my Pod has gotten extremely faded. (the back on
is fine) Any suggestions on where to purchase a new one? Cost? How to
replace? (I'll try and post a photo of each) R-Pod 178, Hood River Edition, year 2014  ------------- 2014 R-Pod 178 aka the "Kobra Pod" following a 2015 4Runner wherever it may wander |

IMHO probably your best bet (unless you go through a local printer/graphics shop) is rvgraphicsstore.com. (714) 642-5395. Prices are listed. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

Thanks Jato! Just what I needed, but a little spendy. Do you know if Forest River sells older model decals? P.S. any idea why my 328kb appears of huge? ------------- 2014 R-Pod 178 aka the "Kobra Pod" following a 2015 4Runner wherever it may wander |

It's only 300+k, but the photo size is 4032x3024 pixels. 1024x768 is fine for this forum. I have no idea how to make the iPhone do that. ------------- -- Jim Virginia City, Nevada 2016 R-pod 180 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X |

If you are using a computer, you can re-size the photo using a program called GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) or other image manipulation program. I resize mine to 800x600 mostly. Since I don't own an iPhone, I can't say if Apple has provided any app in the app store to do that function. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

+1 The image does not have depth, but the size is 4000x3000 pixels. I typically do what StephenH does and reduce the size to 1024x768, but 800x600 is fine too. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

When we replaced decals on our 179, we purchased from RVDecalsDirect.com. They will be expensive because they use a higher quality sign vinyl which will stand up to the elements better. It's not an easy job so be prepared. There are some previous threads on the forum detailing the process. ------------- Gpokluda 2017 Rpod 179(sold 2023) 2022 Escape 5.0TA 2022 Ford F150 4X4 3.5EB Kawasaki KLR650 |
