Exterior graphics failure

[Montana_4011]

My wife and I are the proud owners of a 2002 Montana 3575RL. In all respects it is a wonderful home away from home. However, I am baffled by one problem. The gold colored graphic stripe on one side of the trailer is peeling off. The edges lift and it looks terrible. The other color stipes are not doing this. There is minimal loosening of edges on the front cap graphics as well.

I am interested in knowing why this is happening and what can be done about it. Does Keystone have a problem with the vinyl used for the graphics during this particular year?

Hope some of you can shed light on the situation. As is true of most of our trailers, it does sit outside exposed to the elements.

Try putting a film of caulk under the edge of the graphics to hold them in place. That worked for me....mine were not what I would call a severe problem. Good luck!

One thing that will cause the decal graphics to lift is using a wax or polish that is petroleum based. There are several out there and they will cause pin stripping, decal graphics etc to lift. In fact the ones I am familiar with state this on the bottle. Of course I read the bottle after I applied the stuff to my old truck.
