My 2010 model R-Pod, purchased in 2009, is getting new FREE decals! They just want me to send some pictures of mine as they are now. Not bad at all. Good going Forest River!

That's great Terry!!!!!
Has Forest River changed the company that makes the decals to make them not peel and curl? |

Are those the "Olympic Rings" or the horizontal stripes? Are you expected to apply them yourself?
(I had trouble getting the decals right on my model airplanes 60 years ago....) Good luck.

My year has the rings and I have no idea who makes them. I think I'll let an RV dealer put them on. If they screw them up it is on them and not me.

Dang, lucky you Terry! Mine were replaced once but the 2nd time around FR wouldn't cover them even though I was still under warranty. Plus I had to pay to get the peeling ones off. I probably should have fought FR on that but at the time I just wanted the peeling stuff off.

I just spent a Saturday peeling of the second set of decals on my r-pod. After spending hours and hours cleaning up that sticky mess, I never want to see another decal again in my life.

I'm not looking forward to it but mine will be coming off also. This winter really took the toll on them and now that it started to heat up they seem to be cracking even faster.

Yep our 2011 RP-172 front circular graphics are starting to curl up at the edges. I went out today hell bent on getting at least the roof waxed with a good magueries carnubra wax. when I got up on the ladder the whole roof was covered is little black spots I assume was mildew. It took a good hour with scrub brush and cleaners to get it off. I then started to get a good cover of paste wax on the roof and front, and then the thunderstorms hit. I got the roof done from the ac forward to the front edge. I had washed the pod really good after taking the winter cover off of it, but not sure where the mildew/mold came from.

According to Forest River, at least my year, my Pod has
Lamilux 1000 fiberglass on it. I had asked if a clear coat over the graphics would stop them from self destructing. They didn't know if you can put a clear coat on that type of fiberglas. |

My wife and me, just bought a 2010 173 yesterday. The front and rear decals have already been removed, but I wouldn't mind putting new ones on if I knew they would last.
