Yikes! I’m Peeling!
So, my 2800BH is barely four years old. Today I noticed that a large section of the clear coat is peeling off the top front of the trailer. Of course I’ll be contacting Grand Design this week. But just out of curiosity, has anyone else had this problem? And if you did, how was it resolved?

Most marine/rv waxes made for fiberglass are ok to do in sunlight. I know Meguiars is.
It makes a difference. I have a rockwood mini lite with white/gray front cap. Mine still looks new after 4 years with very little fade compared to some of the campers in our storage lot that are the same age.

I don't know. I wax my fiberglass boat in the sun but it's off white. I did a spot on the cap of my TT which is black and with the sun it's 140 degrees (thermo gun) so the wax pretty much baked on. I use good PTEF wax on the boat, so figure that would work on the TT. Just can't do it in direct sun. Have to wait for a cloudy day or shaded spot for me.

I'm just going by what the manufacturers of the 2 waxes I've used says. My cap has very little fade.

This has me wanting to start waxing mine. I bought it a year ago, no idea on previous maintenance but no better time to start than now. Just ordered the Macguires rv and marine to begin the ritual. Do you go over the decals as well?

And so it has begun…
Washed, then waxed everything. Glad the step son came out to help, that made short work of it after I did the cap and started down the side by myself. I think I will be doing the cap a few times per year, it has hair line cracks that can be seen when close up so anything to help the UV rays from making it worse..2019 Imagine 2800BH “Chaos”
