How do you protect your front decals?

I've searched and found numerous threads with peeling decals. Mine are peeling after 3 seasons but wondered what the rest of the crowd does to protect your decals. If you store outdoors like I do, do you cover the front from sun exposure? Do you put extra waxing sessions over the decal areas? I will reach out to Coachmen to see what they will do but I expect to either remove the front decals all-together or replace with aftermarket 3M decal of some sort.

Any preservation suggestions? Mr. SUN is really harsh here out west for 300+ days of the year...

I remove the factory decals after they start to deteriorate and replace them with vinyl decals made locally. You can get anything made you can think of. Local sign shops can do it for you. Be creative and have fun!

Our Columbus has vinyl decals but I still start off the season with a good coat of hard wax, then once a month or so I'll use spray wax after each wash especially on the nose....helps with removing bugs and stuff. Hopefully it will help to keep the decals intact. I've seen TTs without decals on the nose and they look pretty sharp just plain or you could get some pretty interesting decals to add.
