First, welcome to the MOC. Do a search for decals and graphics and you will find enough posts to keep you busy for quite a while.

Welcome from another new member. This forum is great! We just purchased our 3400 last month and it had one side with peeling/cracked graphics. The previous owners had all the new ones in a big box for us. They said they complained enough to Keystone and got new ones. They were the original owners.

Graphics were quite an issue for many here.Including myself. Burlington was the supplier at that time but I believe they are no longer. Some have found graphics that other owners have not used,and I am not sure if Keystone has a supplier that is still producing them for those years. Maybe someone will be along to help with that. If not try to contact Keystone customer service. Welcome to the forum

Contact Keystone. We bought a 2007 model (new at the time) and have already replaced the graphics twice. The second set is now peeling off rapidly after being replaced less than 2 years ago. We've been told by Keystone that many of the 2006 and 2007 models were the recipients of bad graphics from Burlington.

Labor for the replacement process is expensive. Some MOCers have replaced their own, but we're not up to the task ourselves.

That is WHY when you see us going down the road our nose is naked and everything else is gradually disapering.... Why should i replace them to have to remove and replace again removing the glue is a PITA. We are even considering taking it in for a full body paint job and custom painted graphics of our choice. We would consider a new Montana but don't like the new dark colors and furniture changes they have made. LOVE our 07 3400RL and has treated us well. In fact just thru washing it this morning)))).

Thanks for all the information on graphic problems. I'm in the
process of getting them removed. Thinking about paint, but wondering if paint sticks good to fiberglass?
Anyone have information on paint and fiberglass? Don't want more
problems.

Paint will stick very well to fiberglass. Just do the preparation required and some research. Just think boats, lots of those are painted, either fully or just trim and stripe lines. Actually lots of the higher end RV, motorhomes use paint instead of decals. Imron, 2 part, is one of them but there are one part paints that are almost as good.
Talk to an auto paint supply shop.

Some alkyd oil based house paints will stick also but you will need to be a bit more carefull with these. I repainted the name on my boat ~20 years ago. One side needs to be redone, the other still is in good shape.

But with all prep. is the key.

A good auto body person will know how to do it correct. It should last longer than you will keep your monty. Remember,they have been painting Corvettes since 1953

Spent $900.00 getting some of the graphics off. Called Keystone. Complained, They said to find a dealer and order more. Haven't desided yet how to address this problem.
