Vinyl letters on outside front end are peeling very quickly on our 2017 Durango. Any suggestions on where to find replacement letters. Looks pretty bad. We live in central Texas and the summer heat may be the problem. Susie

The vinyl letters and decals do tend to peel if allowed to bake in the sun, and if you live in central Texas, you know all about summer heat! I grew up in the southeast panhandle and our summers were brutal. Once repaired, if you can park your trailer inside or under some kind of cover it would help immensely, otherwise they will likely peel again in a few years. Good luck and safe travels down the road.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the free advertising we give RV mfrs, so if they're looking bad, take them off and don't replace them. Polish or repaint the nose. Given the black nose cap on my FW, I'd =much= rather have it painted to match the body's tan color as you can feel the heat coming off the front wall and we do NOT put anything in the wardrobes that we don't want melted or damaged from heat. Now, if I =had= to re-do my nose cap, I'd probably have a wrap made with a picture of UP's 4014 Big Boy locomotive "rolling coal". :-)

They're doing some really nice things with wraps. That would be a good option. Jay |

2018 Sportsmen Sportsmen, peeling decals really disappointed. One of the other mfrs had this problem a few years ago, pretty bad, and were warranting a lot of the decals or selling very cheap. I remember reading that some were starting to peel after just a few months. Lyle |

I asked KZ of they could sell me some decals to replace the peeling ones. They referred me to a dealer two days and a 5 hour ferry ride away. Not much help. Better to remove them and replace with generic ones from Amazon.

rvtravels If you read your owners manual they state that you should go thought your dealer 1st an then if the dealer is no help then go to Kz an let them know ... I have had twice now to buy parts though the dealer but picked them up at the factory, Kz has offered to sell me parts direct in the last month, so they may have changed their minds about having to go thought your selling dealer or any Kz dealer ...
