On van decals, replacments?

[leesy]

Hi All,
I was wondering, i have purchased a table from E Bay for the side of the van, it will cover the existing jayco decals so the question is can you buy a new set? or do i have to try and peel the old off and re use on the top of the folder up table?
Thoughts here?
Thanks,
Leesy
:noidea:

Cheers.

Hi Leesy,
I have been a signwriter for the last 45 years so can give you advise.
You wont be able to peel them off and reuse them and why would you as when the table is down you would have a gap in the decal.
If you cant get them off Jayco you could take a trace of the area in question and go to your local signwriter who may be able to match the vinyl, you could then trace onto the new vinly cut them out and apply to the table using a soapy water solution, (a few drops of detergent in a spray bottle)
If the signwriter cant help you with the colour then look up the sign vinyl suppliers in your area of Newcastle or Sydney (eg "Spandex" in Sydney is one) where you can buy the vinyl by the metre. You will find them in the Yellow Pages

If you need any other info feel free to ask.

Hope this helps

Hi Leesy, my father-in-law had the decals on both sides of his Expanda replaced by Jayco Newcastle - cost $500

i got a one off decal from Absolute Caravans here in Perth - apparently they get direct from Jayco in Melbourne - $25 landed

Jaybird may be able to advise better, but I think there would be a trick to putting them on.

Hey leesy, did you think about putting two tables on. I would next time. Really handy, but they are over priced.

Leesy, if you want, I can post a photo of my van 16.49.4 with table so you can see where table goes.

The table edge is 93cm away from door, but they are all different. Next time I will go two tables. We normally have toaster and kettle on it, so that does not leave a lot of room, but we do have a normal table. You could position so that if you wanted to fit another one down the track then you could. I would leave old decals on wall, put table in position and put new decals over table, that way you have decals visible when table is up and down.

Good luck and don't drill thru any wires or pipes.

Hi Leesy,
Sorry I didnt get back earlier, not sure how far you have got. In regards to applying new stickers it all knack, a few drops of detergent and I prefer sunlight detergent in a spray bottle, just enough to let the decal slide around while you position it , gently at first squeegee it out using a credit card until all bubbles are out, slowly increase the pressure to push it down then let dry and wipe off excess soapy water and all should be good, then if necessary using a box cutter type knife trim off the excess vinyl from the edges of the table. I should of added that the vinyl should be a bit oversize in length so you can handle it at each end without touching the sticky bits where you want it to attach.
Clear as mud
Cheers

thanks for that! i was quoted $230 from Jayco for the stickers? seems very expensive? Has anybody else bought these at a cheaper price?

I complained to Jayco when I picked up my van as their were bubbles in my decals. Had a full set sent to me free of charge. I'm takingthevan back to them to fit them, although I'm not holding my breathe for great job. I'm actually trying to visualize the Panda with decals at all.?... Might look a bit bland though.

hi D4Dazz, another forum memebr who lives local! I am just of Napoleon kinda behind the Shell, who did you complain to on the decals? Jayco direct or dealer, which ones are they replacing? all of the ones on your van?
