Graphics material

[michguy]

My 2005 TropiCal T370 has some places in the stick-on graphics that need repair. Any ideas on where I might find some material ? My colors are the Blue and Black.

Try a place that does vehicle wraps and graphics.
They are becoming very popular as it is cheaper than painting.

Michguy, We have bought some National parts from Gambler's RV in Adelanto, CA. Phone # 760-403-4069 and ask for Russ. They bought up some of National's inventory. Good Luck. You could have your graphics/stripes painted if you can't find any decals.

I was at their Adelanto yard last year and saw several boxes of graphics stored in a trailer. I need some for my Tradewinds but not sure if they would be good after being stored for so long in a non controlled environment. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Have been told the graphics have a shelf life of ONE year.

Good point about the non controlled storage. These guys were stright up with us on the condition of the parts we ordered. I think if you ask them the condition that they will tell you the truth. I know I've put on decals that were at least 5 years old and I've seen decals that were a year old that I would throw away.

Hi michguy, Go Hawks!!!..........contact the coach mfg if still in biz, and they might tell you who the graphics supplier was...but you're on the edge of shelf life 5 to 7 years tops some times they can duplicate, but colors fade over the years
search this form there are many posts to review...
Good luck,

Richard, where have you been? Oh, your a Damon owner, National RV is belly up! Michguy knows that, we National RV owners know that, that's why we have to ask questions like that.

I clicked on that link, hoping my Islander would be listed, hopes dashed! Seems like the oldest unit was 2005, and newest 2008. Guess in the future, I'm going to have to make my own, I did with my previous motor home, but my present one has a lot more graphics on it.

This guy will create an updated version of your graphics that will cover the shadows created by the old graphics. He has that patterns for many National products and the sets start around $1000.

Instead of graphics have you considered having your graphics removed and then painted on. I would think they would last longer and can be waxed over.
