I had the same problem when I had new decals installed on my Designer. It was caused by improper installation and I made the repair company do the job over. Caused by air bubbles under the decal. by all means contact Jayco it is a defect.

I have a new set of Decals for the front of my HTT sitting at the Dealership. They have been there for about a year now. I did not even know they where there, until I asked them about a part they ordered last fall. They stated they saw them looking bad and ordered them on my behalf. At that time I spoke with them about my curbside decals as they are pealing up at the edges. They told me to take some pictures when I pull it out of storage, and send them to them, and they will replace those too.

I wouldn't mind taking a few decals OFF...... I picked at a few corners and they seem well adhered. Open to advice from someone with experience....

Decal removal

I just use a hair dryer to get them off. Any adhesive left can be gotten off with Goo Gone.

The hair dryer/ heat gun works but be prepared for some work to get the glue off, even with goo-off. I removed a large decal off the front of my old trailer and it was an all day project. Just my experience.

Amen to that. I am going to take mine off also. I have been meaning to do it since we bought our trailer new 7 years ago.

2011 Jayco Eagle 321RLTS Decal Bubbles

My road side decals have lots of bubbles in them. I was told by a Jayco Dealer that he was told there is excess gas in some sidewalls. I quess the gas leaks out and creates the bubbles. They are going to strip the decals, have a body shop spray on a new clearcoat, and the put the decals back on.

We had the front cap replaced this fall and Jayco and the dealer took a long time getting the decals. So long, in fact, that our FW was home for about two months before the decals arrived. Thinking right now that I may not put them on for a while just to see how I like it. Do you think Jayco will sue me to make me put them on so the advertising will be on the front of the FW as well as on the sides and back?

I have a 2010 365BHS and had the same problems. Jayco had alot of problems with bubbles under the decals. I took mine to the dealer under warranty for repairs. Jayco gave me an option; repair and in the shop for 6wks. They offered me 1,000 dollars to live with the bubbles. I took the money and lived with the decals. I took a straight pen and put a tiny hole in the bubble. I worked the bubble out and the bubbles are hard to see. I get new bubbles when it is hot outside. Try the pen it works really well!

Possible. How much are they paying you to advertise? If they are paying you then they have a breach of contract. Watch out!

No need to worry. Jayco cannot sue you for not having their decals on it. Also as mentioned above about removing some bubbles is to poke a very small needle hole in the center of the bubble and use a stiff rubber squeegee to work the bubbles out.

I don't know what it is about RV manufacturers but (almost) all of them have decals that look like they were designed in the 70s

Well the clear coat and new decals went on last May, Looked Great!! Decided to put a cover on it this year hoping that would minimize the chance of the decals bubbling again this year. Took a peak at the end of December, same issue as last year. All kinds of bubble on the decals. Waiting to hear back from Jayco as to what they are going to do about the issue. Going to try and get them to take the 5th wheel back to the factory and install a new wall to get rid of the gassing issue.

My concern would be that if gas is getting out what are the chances that moisture is getting in. My trailer went out of warranty Dec 9th and I just found about 6 bubbles on the road side of our 2012 31.5RLTS. Wonder if Jayco will do anything for me? Well its worth a call I guess.
