[p]There you go Leslie.
The Color decals came off easy but the silver ones are still on but aren't showing on in the Pic.

I'll wait till mid next week as the temps will be in the mid 90's here, let the Sun work on them and try again in getting the Silver Decals off, if not then I will use the heat gun carefully to remove them.
Still have the Supersize Large Bearcat Decals on the front/rear to take off as well but I don't see any issues with getting them off.

All of the ends of the Decals are already lifting away from the Trailer sides/so off they come.

I like it way better with No decals and Thanks for all of the input here about taking them off.[/p][p]

I like the look too. That's why we ordered our without the decals. The sun here in Reno just bakes them. Seen too many RVs with peeling/faded graphics on one side (the constant sunny side) and knew we didn't want them installed when we purchased both of our TTs from Livinlite.

That looks great.

I got the Silver Decals off yesterday after baking in 97F temps/they came off easy. I even took the Front Big Bearcat Decal off, for now I'll leave the same Big Bearcat Decal on the rear ramp door. That Black paint on the front of my Livin lite(where the big Bearcat Decal was) was so hot you couldn't lay your hand on it. That heat gets transferred to the inside of the Trailer and really heats it up, 97F outside and 109F inside.
Looking at ways to try to get it cooler inside or at least the same temp inside as the outside temp.
Painting the Roof white with the Kool-seal helped allot as I can now place my hand on the ceiling and feel no heat at all but the front section is super hot and that is where it is painted Black on the outside. I wonder if the Kool-seal could be painted there as well.

I'm no painter but why couldn't you? LL uses prepainted aluminum which is powder coated so it should accept whatever you put on it. We use prepainted steel in my plant and my guys use off the shelf touch-up paint with a matching color to touch-up areas mared by the MFG process before we ship it. No issues or complaints from customers.

you could always call the MFG of the Kool Seal and see what they say or an automotive paint shop may be able to help you determine adherence/application issues.

Enjoyed your pictures, no decals on our camper. We are thinking of installing a vinyl graphic with the name of our camper (Sunflower). My brother when he bought his Coleman Utah camper new in 01 he removed all the graphics and replaced Utah with Arizona. His current camper a 08 Casita does not have any factory graphics, he replaced Casita with the word Monsoon.
