    Taking decals off of gel coat fiberglass

    I want to remove some of the "extra" decals from my TT (not the safety notices, I promise). What's the safest way to get these off? I already tried the "fingernail and patience" method...no dice. Thanks!

    Fiberglass Roof Maintenance

    I like to be on top of the maintenance of our 2011 Georgetown DS360 XL with 55,000 miles. I scrub the roof twice a year and placed Eternabond tape along every screwhead (sidewall to roof) as well as the front/rear caps to roof seams. I replaced the a/c gaskets. Do I need to coat the...

    Fixing small fiberglass delamination

    I carefully check my roof several times a year for possible cracks. As I was waxing my camper I discovered a small 3"X 4" bubble just below a marker light. Water apparently got behind it because one of the screws is stripping and the marker is pulling away. I caulked around it to prevent further...

    Screws in Fiberglass - Remove Silicone Caulk from Fiberglass

    Confession: I torture my rig when boondocking. Miles and miles of horrid washboard road takes a toll on everything. Step one on arrival is to locate the screws on the floor. In wood, I use a larger screw and Gorilla glue. In metal, I use LocTite. But what about fiberglass? I have an 8'...
