RVs exterior striping is peeling. RVer seeks help.

Dear Gary,
The brown striping is peeling from around the outside of my 1994 Fleetwood Class C motorhome. Any suggestions for making it look better? --Betty Jones

Dear Betty,
A sad fact to realize is that constant exposure to the elements and the changes of seasons, RV exteriors take a lot of abuse. Even when properly cared for, UV bombardment and ozone contamination simply happens. At some point, all decal-type graphics on RVs will have to be replaced.

You are at that point now. The glue backing has simply lost its inherent sticking ability and there is virtually nothing that can be done except look for some replacement striping. Perhaps your dealer can order the original size and color for you. Extended life can be realized for decals and other graphics by always using a full-coach cover when the RV is not in use. And by cleaning and protecting the finish regularly, two or three times a year. More often if you live in areas of high ultra-violet radiation or ozone producing zones.

Gary Bunzer, The RV Doctor, is a well known RV author and the host of RV Roadtrips, the DIY Network cable television show. He is one of the RV industry's most sought after speakers and the host of the popular DVD titled Do It Yourself RV Care.
