Might be different if they are more than a couple years old.

when your talking a year or 2 the graphics will peel off with a hair dryer with out difficulty and the glue come off with it , but when they are older they break apart the minute you pull on them ,unlike boat decals ,RV are using a much thinner vinyl for decals ,it is getting brittle much faster .
even so it looks like a bigger job to blade them off
to give you a idea
a full side will take 4 hours to remove all graphics
then a good 2 hours just to wash the glue off
since I work on a gelcoat panel ,i will use acetone that will work faster
on a paint surface I would use WD40 since it is more gentle but slower
