That's great news !! Hopefully your problems with faded decals and oxidized paint will be completely solved. As for covering the front of your trailer to prevent "sun damage", be aware that several of us "speculate" (nobody can prove or disprove) that moisture under a canvas or similar cover enhances the chances of any moisture being turned to steam and penetrating the FILON. This steam (we think) causes delamination of the fiberglass from the luan/cardboard backing and creates significant water intrusion damage to the fiberglass.

So, if you're going to cover the front to protect the decals, consider that you might be setting yourself up for even more costly damage in the long run. Can't win??? Sometimes it seems that way. If you do want to shade the front of your RV from the sun, you might want to look at developing some type of "shade" without actually putting a cover on the RV.

Keep us posted on the repainting/decal replacement and congratulations on the "win" with your aftermarket protection company...
