Our 2001 2955RL had the same problem.I used a heat gun and a plactic scraper to remove the old graphics.It took me about a weekend to remove just the front and foward sides. I didn't remove the multi-colored strips on the sides. 3M makes a product called "General Purpose Adhesive Remover", I found it at a auto paint store. It will clean off any left over adhesive. That "shadow" from the old graphics helped me in placing the new ones. Spraying down the area of new graphics with soapy water helped too until you squeegee the new graphic.It takes patience and some extra help, too.A buddy of mine has a rolling scafold, that really helped.If you have some experience it will help.I learned by watching two guys that letter and strip the trucks I drive.
I'll use any type of "wax on, wax off" polish to keep it looking as nice as I can. I'm less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean, it's tough to keep anything clean with all the moisture in the air. For any long periods of time I'll cover the fifth wheel.
Good luck with the project.
