I am just starting to shop around for a trailer and am interested in the Rpod, but I'm not a fan of all the stripes and stickers that are on it. Are they just decals and can they be removed without doing damage? How difficult is it to remove them? Thanks, Gore ------------- GORE |

I remove some peeling decals from my 171, was fairly easy. I used a heat gun and the bug cleaner that I use on my bike. came off perfect. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Pics of what mine looked like on the front and back when mine were removed.

What brand of bug cleaner? The ring decals on my 171 are faded and peeling. I was thinking of removing them sometime in the fall when it cools off here in Florida. ------------- 2010 R-Pod RP-171 2010 Honda Ridgeline TV |

The Harley Davidson wash/bug cleaner. Worked great has a bees wax polish added to it. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Heat on the stickers. Lighter fluid (Ronsol type or similar) or Bug/Tar remover on the glue. A co-worker bought some orange Goo Gone for stuff at work at it did absolutely nothing but waste a bunch of paper towels. Maybe they make a non-orange version that has actual functional ingredients? |

| Removed the four R-Pod logo decals from the 176 we got in June. We might design something and install our own. |
