How to Remove Decals and Graphics on an RV

How hard is it to replace the decals on a 1997 35' Southwind? Where can you purchase new decals and about do they cost?

ANSWER: Greetings Steve thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

As long as the graphics on your RV are not painted on the best method I recommend to remove the existing Graphics (decals) is to do like a lot of professional paint and body shops do and use a 3M Stripe Off Wheel which fits on a 3/8" Electric Drill.

These wheels if used properly do an excellent job of removing stripes, decals, glue, etc. regardless of how long they have been on your RV. This quick and easy method will not damage the finish of your RV as long as you keep in mind that the wheels are designed to run at an optimum speed of 2,000 RPM plus or minus 200 RPM.

Depending on the number of graphics you need to remove you may need several of these wheels to complete the job.

Watch the video below to see how easy it is to use the 3M Stripe Off Wheel.
