I ordered my Adventurer sans-graphics, however they stuck the logos all over the thing anyway. I had planned on putting some plain old fashioned stripes to match my truck, but it's not a priority. My wife says it looks like a FEMA camper.

They use decals over paint mostly because you can teach a guy to put decals on in a day and they all come out the same. Painting takes a lot more skill and it's hard to do each one exactly the same. Paint fails after enough time too.

Over doing it on the logos and swoops is bad but the other end of the spectrum looks like a FEMA trailer.

The decals on our TC are "shirked up" as well. Will be removing them and replacing with our own logo. Brian and Michele Camping Adventures

I am just finishing a restoration on my TC. I tried to keep all the decals and branding. I just like things looking original i guess. However just like on my truck, the wifes car, and the boat, the dealer decals have to go.

I do not mind the graphics on mine.

The sides and rear ones are holding up fine, but a portion the front one was in bad shape... prolly' from wind force from going down the road. I removed all of it so that it did not look too ratty.

To be honest, if I had the original dealer license plate surround or even their sticker, I would have preserved it, but my KIT had neither by the time it came into my ownership .

The floorplan of our TT is just about perfect but I have never cared for the interior colors and the exterior decals are just plain tacky. I posted here earlier that they make the TT look like a shoebox going down the road. I would remove them in a heartbeat but would have "ghosts" which would look worse. If I had a "naked" or FEMA trailer I would put my own decals on it. I may do so anyway! lizzie

And as some said, it depends on what "look" you like. Without any "decoration", a TC can look like a big 'ole slab of white.

Really ,truly, I ordered it that way because I was going to do a custom stripe job to match the truck, but after a while it just grew on me and I said to myself, self, do you really want to take care of that and what happens when you hit it with the pressure washer? Well the bugs were already on it so it became a no brainier as I washed the******out of it with no worries...things are what they are. Hey... I can at least use my projection TV on it and have outdoor movies just like the old day drive in, it even has the outdoor speakers..LOL!
