Graphics, what graphics?

[KathyandDave]

Today, we spied a big trailer approaching north on Ontario #10, north of Dundalk. Its nose was a glaring, pristine white colour. Kathy joked, "Wouldn't it be funny if it was a Montana?"....
It was! The side graphics were blue, which will date it for some of you that know the history better than me.

We have our new graphics that we got at Goshen last fall, but have yet to put on. I'm waiting for the perfect weather conditions...

When our graphics go bad we're going to paint ours in a style that fits us.

speaking of graphics, when we bought our 2007 3400rl we got talked into a exterior treatment that would protect the gel coat and graphics for 3 years. we think that the application was bad. so we have oxidation ans more pealing on decals. yesterday i started a claim and am getting a estimate to make things right. we'll see

101 yesterday and low 90s for the next week. Too hot to start replacing my graphics or just right? Decisions, decisions.

Saw an albino Montana yesterday as we were leaving Durango. All graphics gone except the "MONTANA" above the rear window. Looked sparkley.

Mike - The way are decals are weathering, ours will look like that soon too. Wish Keystone was a little more concerned about this.

I'm probably one of the only persons who would know where Dundalk, On. is. I live just south of Chatsworth, On. on #6 hwy. I have bad "graphic rejection" on my 3605 and wonder how Keystone thinks that it is a good move to basically look the other way on this issue unless forced in some way to supply new ones. I see other people's beautifully accented trailers with the name prominently and proudly displayed and know I will not be buying another Keystone product, even though in every other way I love my Montana. I do not wear ripped and thread bare clothes, nor do I sport shoes with holes and torn laces. These units are not cheap and are purchased in part because we want to fuss over them and be proud of "the rig" but ragged decals make me feel Like I'm at a wedding in my old blue jeans. I used to refinish bathtubs (34 yrs.) and when my customers called about a less than perfect job, I fixed it or redid it, even after warranty because I fully understood that it was in my own good interest to do so.

We're having our 3455RL painted right now. Not full body, but something to our liking.

I have just finished replacing most of the street side decals. Today I removed the decals from the front cap and am working on removing the adhesive before installing the new decals. I may leave the Montana off and only put the mountains on. I'm looking at getting a custom decal of a border collie chasing a frisbee to be placed over the mountains. Either way the Montana will stay off the front. Price decals free, about $20 for supplies, hours of labor but what else have I got to do. At least this way if the new decals start peeling I have only myself to blame.

On out trip up north we passed 2 different 5th wheels with no graphics at all???? Not sure of the brand of RV, we blew by them too fast lol....

[c214dick]

Montana got enough $ from me already. If they want to pay to adverise their name than we can talk. I still like my idea for the front cap. I already told the body shop guy not to replace the Montana on the rear cap when he does my repairs. When we were coming back from our last trip there was a trailer that was decorated with all Disney characters. Very cool.

[DQDick]

I really think that's the answer. Take the problem as an opportunity to customize it just for you. If we ever had a national Rally and a bunch of the rigs didn't say Montana on them anymore Keystone might be more interested in fixing the problem.

[c214dick]

The front cap is now 1/2 completely clean. Time for a rest. That border collie decal is becoming more and more appealing. Can anyone suggest a decal company? I have a couple of emails sent out but 1 company wants $48/hr to design my decal.

Finally started to try and get whats left of the front decals off my 07. Been in sun and snow all its life so get that ain`t too bad when I read we all have problems with them. Have not seen any that haven`t! Gonna be alot of work and then it can stay white! all have fun now!
