New Decal Raplacements
We finally decided to make the move and have new decals installed on our front cap, driver's side and rear cap (the curb side were relatively new since the entire side had to be replaced at the factory due to frame flex problems). We had the job done at RV Stripes and Graphics in Apache Junction, AZ and are very pleased with the results. Steve and his crew did an outstanding job and were great to work with from day one planning. If you happen to be in the area and need decal work, I can highly recommend them! Pics here:

In addition, I asked Steve for his recommendations regarding graphics care and maintenance. In a nutshell, wax twice a year using something like Meguiar's followed by 303 Protectant applied quarterly.

Unfortunately your URL takes me a sign-in page for Google+. It is tough to see the pictures if you don't have an account (or even if you do).

Haven't used Google+ until now, so will need to figure out what's going on. I've set the album to share/public, but that obviously isn't enough. Sorry 'bout that!
Maybe this link will work: https://plus.google.com/photos/10936...P-C5cuz466L5gE

Interesting about the waxing twice a year; we have always been told by Keystone to ensure no wax on the graphics.

Nice pics. Keystone sent me 2 boxes of new graphics this summer, and I will have them installed in Ocala this winter. Hope they turn out as good as yours.
Thanks for sharing.

That was when Keystone was using graphics made by a different supplier. It could be the new supplier has changed that recommendation.

Rick - Hopefully the replacements are not from Burlington Graphics, but from Keystone's new vendor. I also received 3 boxes of replacements from Keystone (kudos to Keystone for trying to solve the problem!). After discussions with Steve, however, I decided to have him make new custom decals using better materials than Burlington evidently used. As a result, we now have a 5 year warranty on the new decals and an expected lifespan of 7-10 years. Time will tell....
On edit: The recommendation about wax/303 did not come from Keystone, although they may be suggesting that now based on their new supplier.
