Our previous TT (KZ Spree) did this as well. The only thing to do is replace it or just remove it. The sun and traveling is hard on these decals. Keeping a good coat of wax on them will help prolong there life but it seems that this does not help everybody.

This is not an uncommon problem. As Brian says, the choices are removal or removal and replacement. Grand Design went to a 5 year warranty on decals (after 2016?) but if you contact their Customer Service, they may still provide replacements. I believe their warranty is "replacement material only" . . . I don't think they cover labor. There are some good tools and processes for removing vinyl decals from fibreglass. We can get into the details of this if you would like. Be careful with waxing decals. Many (most?) RV waxes are specific about NOT applying to vinyl decals.

This is a very common occurence. Whether you replace the decals or not, you'll still want to remove them. Although I haven't used the product I'm linking to below, I've heard tremendous success stories about the ease of removal when using it. I believe GDRV started the five year warranty with the 2017 models, but even if they won't provide them for free, you can probably still order the decals through your dealership. Call GDRV customer service at 5748259679 so see what they can do. Be prepared when you call. They will need your VIN when you call them.

If you can't get all the decals off with GraphXOff, you can try using a 3M stripe wheel. Here's a link:
