But yours is still pretty new. Mine is a 2005. It's kept in open weather, which is mostly hot sun. The graphics are shrunk some and rolled up slightly around the edges of all of them. That sun definitely takes it toll on vinyl graphics.

Yeah, I know they don't last forever. I'm just posting because the original poster also has an 2008 from Jayco.
I also use 303 after cleaning.

I never liked all that big ugly junk on campers any way. To each, his own.

Unfortunately that is a common problem across many brand lines as mentioned. Check and see who the vendor is for the graphics. Burlington Graphics does the graphics for many brands and they have been good about helping out. We have a 06 Montana and our graphics are in perfect shape although they have seen hard weather and sun. Don't know why some last and others don't.

My 2008 Eagle SL has graphic failure also, they peeled off in spots, especially the Front Cap. The 5er is at the Dealer for warranty work, and the graphics are on the list.
I will update.
FYI - I got handed a lil disclaimer by Jayco about Roof bubbles and wrinkles, and how it isnt adviseable to repair.

$300 each? Well I don't expect the dealer or OEM to give them out for free as these decals/vinyl DO cost nothing is for free though now it would behoove me that they didn't want to help out keeping their name out on the rigs they have built though.
My rig is a Dutchmen Victory lane, I will be GLAD when all the decal falls off! Since Thor is not in production I doubt I can get new decals for it.

There are plenty of people that remove ALL emblems/logos/badges from their vehicles. It's called "Debadging" and the primary reason it is done is for the clean look and easier waxing of the vehicle. I have never done it but did remove all dealer license plate frames & logos.
well that's easy enough to do, but what about taking the badge off the front grille? 
Simple. Lots of them get aftermarket grills... you know those billet grills, or something like that.
