I will need some help. Trying to identify what all the wires below the main TV go to. The PO took everything, except the Winegard video box.

our graphics are a little messy. A couple of places we trimmed off & you can't tell they are missing. Others we've used super glue or something like that. LOL We try to wax them a bit more than rest of unit just to slow down the fading. Saw one rig where they had taken them all off and that wasn't good. Its not too bad a price to go to a "graphic" place, looked into it once & decided to wait till more of an issue.

I hate to tell you, but once the decals start fading and peeling nothing can save them. Wax application is a very short term fix.

The decals on my previous 10 year old Sunnybrook trailer were failing after 10 years in the Texas sun. I had carefully cleaned, 303'd and waxed them the life of the trailer. They still eventually failed.

That's the main reason I went with full body paint on my current Excel.

You can, but the W/D has to come out. Closet door has to come out at a minimum. Wonder why they didn't offer it.....I consider it a necessity. But I cause a lot of problems around here. Just sayin' rockin'

Using wax that contains petroleum distillates in it is death to graphics. Best thing for them is 303 Protectant.
