The price we got included installation-- I can't hold a straight line

Kimahjohn,

Ours too and take off and extra cut and buff out.

What design did you come up with? We stayed with the stripes with some modification. This is what we did.

We are leaving it white for now--- got a wild hair and bought a 40' U320, so I might leave it for the next owner to decide what they want.  We had decided to do much what you did if we were keeping the U280.  We are at the facTory this week and next for work on both units.  Probably put the Grand Villa up for sale after we get done with the rehab on the newer U320.  Problem is, we love the U280  also, just got a great deal on the U320.  It will make a great coach for someone, it has been very reliable and trouble free.

A vinyl wrap that matches my original graphics is something that I have been considering as my decals continue to deteriorate.  Assuming any graphics shop that can do the work is going to charge to create the original artwork, I'm wondering if it's possible for Foretravel or the Forum to collect and provide data files for our standard patterns as owners are able to donate them?  Why design it several times if we can re-use the file?  Or is it a propreitary format from one shop to another?  Maybe I'm overestimating the artwork portion of the cost.  I'm also unsure about the durability of these wraps.  Thoughts from anyone that has had them for a while?

With the advent of Printed vinyl graphics, you can usually get a local graphic shop to give you a quote.  I just got a quote for replacing the factory graphics on our 1990 Grand Villa at $1800.  That was with me removing the old graphics.  Add $600 if they did the removal.  3M material with 8 year life.

Found a place in Iowa that took photos of current graphics and loaded them into their computer. Measured one item on the coach for reference and came up with a quote of $540 if I take the old stuff off. That's just for the "ribbons", not the straight lines since we hade them redone three years ago. Told them to hold that thought and we'd be in in the spring.

What's the name of the place, and do they have a list of satisfied customers available?
