Glad I'm not the only one fighting this! We brought our 2017 178 home today. Nothing like spending $14,000 to come home and peel stickers. Wouldn't be so bad if the stickers were meaningful or actually came off easy. These are all just horrible and leave a residue behind. "This Unit Has Been Winterized" took me 15 minutes of picking (thumb nails hurt) and it still left the sticky residue behind. I'll take a heat gun to it tomorrow and try some Goo Gone. I didn't know if I would damage the exterior with any harsh chemicals but it seems Goo Gone has been ok for others.]]> Mon, 24 Apr 2017 20:13:04 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9771&PID=91881#91881 Factory Stickers/Labels : Thank you, Tim.

A razor blade scraper works well, but you have to be very careful with it so you don't gouge the finish. I removed all the old worn out loopy graphics using a heat gun, Googone, and the razor scraper, I cleaned it up when it was all done, with simple green to get the Googone off, then rinsed it. At some point I need to apply a cleaner and wax, but I have to go camping first. The snow in the Sierra is beginning to melt and the campgrounds are starting to open.

Wit the sticker over the graphic, that is going to be tough. If you can heat up the warning sticker glue enough without heating up the graphic glue, then you should be able to do it. Since it is new, the glue hasn't had a chance to cook in the sun for years, like mine did, and it may peel back ok. If the graphic sticker comes up a little, a plastic squeegee can smooth it back down provided the glue doesn't get guck in it.

As for the effectiveness of warning labels, I vaguely remember in the days I defended law suits, including warning label cases, that there was an industrial safety study that suggested that there was an inverse relationship between the effectiveness of warning labels and the number of them. One of my favorites is the label on the Superman costume's cape that advises the user that one cannot fly using the cape. And this was on an adult sized costume. I think the gene pool might be better off if .......

They put one right over the graphic on the door. Will it ruin the graphic?

I used my wife's hair dryer, a plastic putty knife and Goo Gone. ]]> Sun, 23 Apr 2017 07:51:29 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9771&PID=91723#91723 Factory Stickers/Labels : The factory information/warning... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9771&PID=91710#91710 Author: TeeBrock

The factory information/warning labels have taken over the great design and graphics of the R-Pod. Does anyone have a suggestion for removing labels that aren't a necessity?]]> Sat, 22 Apr 2017 23:15:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9771&PID=91710#91710
