Decal Removal on Hardwall

by Mike C
(Calgary Alberta)

I have a 2011 Rockwood Fifth wheel model 8280WS. It has hardwall exterior and the manufacturer has "way" to many little instruction type decals on the outside along with the dealership decal.
I would like to remove most of them.

The heat gun on low temp worked very well for most of the decals. Although some have left a sticky surface. (Peanut butter worked very well to remove most of the sticky surfaces remaining.... But,the one that is of the main concern is right beside the door,it was a "Forest River" Decal. This decal had a clear front and was removed, now a yellow hard sticky surface is left on the trailer. The heat gun will not remove it.

Any ideas on removing decals safely off of a hardwall trailer that is 6 months old??

Thanks, Mike

I have researched removing decals off of our fifth wheel and many are recommending "Vinyl Off" made by ChrystalTek. There is a You Tube video on this as well.

It is available in Canada, not sure how close to you but there is a 866 no. to call to find a dealer if you google the vinyl off. Have also found it on eBay.

Good luck!

Here in the U.S. I get it in hardware and grocery stores. I would think at the very least, most hardware type stores should carry it.

Looks like you have Home Depot stores in Canada and that is one place I have purchased it.

Thank-you for the Goo Gone information, are you aware of any place in the Calgary area that it is available?

Goo Gone was designed for this exact type of situation. It is citrus based and will not harm the finish, it will just get rid of the goo.
