I you go to EBay, type in "Keystone RV decal" in the search block, you'll get a number of hits with Keystone decals. (I got 105 hits) If you modify the search to "RV decal", the number of hits increases dramatically. I just got 25,603. While it's apparent that they aren't all Keystone "original equipment" decals, there are a large number of replacements available that would be suitable for many RV applications. Prices are anywhere for $5 to $450 for a "complete set" (whatever that might be).

I have had such a hard time finding used parts on ebay that I completely discounted using them for decals.

A bit of an update. We got one of the installers to knock off several hundred dollars by offering a cash payment. They started the install this afternoon and suspect they may wrap up by tomorrow night.

My son and I made several passes on the camper removing the old adhesive and silicon on the edges where the decals terminate. The fact that it was very clean and install ready helped lower the price as well.

I think the only issue with the decals is the size of this shape that looks like two overlapping and opposing C's next the the word fuzion. Appears that the decals Keystone sent are a bit smaller than what was installed back in the day.

I'll post some pictures up tomorrow of the work they have done.

I should have some up soon. I want to wash and wax before posting them up. Plus I am waiting for some more decals from Keystone. I should have done an inventory myself before dropping it off but had assurances from Keystone that they were all there.

It looks so much nicer now.

Remainder of the decals are coming tomorrow and plan on having my installers finish the job up this week. Hope to have it washed and looking sharp for photos soon.

Well my son and I pretty much just finished the project. I had most of the decals installed by a vinyl wrap company. After the decals were on the surface still lacked something and a chance conversation with a neighbor about the project he told me about a product he used on his boat called Poli-Glow. The end result exceeded my expectations and is very cost effective. Below are a few pictures from the camper. The red picture shows part of the slide out with and without Poli-Glow.

one more picture.

if you look at the upper left hand corner of the camper you'll notice an area that I missed. My wife and I noticed some really intense heat when standing on the sunny side of the camper today. Not sure if it will help with interior temps but I felt like I was standing in front of a solar reflector.

A very special thank you to Keystone for the decals. They went to the moon and back for us. Thank you Keystone!

Pulln, if you don't mind. What was the final cost of the project and how long do you expect they will last?
I am in the process of removing right now but I think I will be replacing minimal decals with a few of my own design.

My son and I removed the decals. I spent approx. 200 dollars for stuff like adhesive remover, plastic razor blades, and 3m decal eraser. The decals came off very easily under direct sunlight with the plastic razor but some of the bad decals left a lot of adhesive behind.

On the install I spent 700 dollars. Most of the decals were covered by Keystone. I spent 200 dollars to have the vinyl wrap folks to print a few that Keystone didn't have the right size or sent the wrong orientation.

For the shine/protection I spent 140 dollars on 2 Poli-Glow kits that i bought on Amazon. We only ended up using one bottle of the Poli-Prep but did use both bottle of Poli-Glow. It was money well spent.


Had I had the time and tools to do the decal install it would have been a very low cost process.

Thanks Pulln.
I am in the process of removing mine now. Acetone, MEK, 3M #8984, heat gun, plastic scrapers, rags. It's adding up to about $300.00. Getting the adhesive off is very time consuming. I am trying to get Keystone to pay for the removal. They already told me they would not pay for new decals. I don't think I will reorder the original decals, but I may have 3 or 4 of my own design made locally by a friend just to billboard my displeasure with them.
Open for suggestions!
I would like a little swagger of design rather than just the Big White Mint.
I'll post pics of the "New Edition Fuzion" when I get these off and my own installed.

A good wax or protectant like Nu Finish would be a good idea AFTER decals are applied and left alone for a couple of days.

You seem to know your facts. I have a defective 2013 21RBS with the fading cap. Is there ANYTHING I can use on it to restore or at least maintain some level of shine?
Thanks much.
