My first CL issue

Not a functionality issue.  Just cosmetic.  The decal on the front of my 21RBS is peeling off.  I'm not sure what I will do.
The "Camp Lite "  logo is more of  a free ad as far as I'm concerned.  I'm thinking of  taking  a heat gun remove it   then
apply a large submarine qual dolphins in it's place.

Yeppers.... mine was like that when I bought it, if not worse.   I made the dealer remove it as part of the deal.  There was very very minimal paint fade visible only if you look hard for it.  I also view it as an opportunity to personalize.  I am contemplating this decal to replace it:

Edit to add:    The other 2 CL trailers at the dealer were also starting to peel on the front decal.

Mine are peeling a little around the edges. Saw a CampLite going down the road other day and all of the decals were removed. It needed something like a Bulldog, Harley, Airplane, Boat, or something.

Mine have small bubbles here and there. I'm now in the process of removing them except the CL logos (for now)... slow process but will whittle away at them till I'm done. FYI, seems mineral spirits cleans up the bits of goop pretty well.

I plan to take my heat gun (Lose my man card if I say hair dryer) to the one in front.  Any residue is easy to get off with "Goof Off".

I've been using my electrician's heat gun, a very macho piece of gear  :)  I'll definitely look into the Goof Off..

Almost done with this project, she looks so "bare". Switched to Goo Gone today, might be slightly better than Mineral Spirits? Next is to do a bit of recaulking. Ordered some Proflex today.
