I hear ya. It rubbed me wrong just looking at it. I always tried to take it off when it was cool outside and it was always a struggle. Today at 95 degrees outside, the Airstream gods must have smiled upon me cause that sucker flew off faster than you could say Thor.

From there, I just went to town. Heck, I probobly gained a few ounces of NCC today as a result!

I still get a kick out of that sticker...America's best RV value....yea, right.....

You got it Twink. The heat sure makes it easier to remove stickers. A blow dryer works good when it's cold out too.

Ok, I just heard back from the factory and first let me say I was impressed...they responded in far less than 24 hours!

At any rate, they also said using mineral spirits is what is recommeded. Keep in mind I never took Chemistry and nearly flunked out of Biology, so basic mineral spirits without a bunch of additives are found in.....?

Can I go to the hardware store and simply get mineral spirits? Is that what makes up ligther fluid?

I think whatever I do, I am going to make the LP tank cover my sacrificial lamb.

Hardware store? Probably... but are you sure that wouldn't unbalance the running gear?

de-natured alcohol. I used it to remove the glue under my WBCCI numbers.

you get mineral spirits at any hardware, walmart or home depot type store.
Good for cleaning up after applying vulkem also.
