I'd like to look into replacing the front cap Winnebago logo. It faded long ago.

Has anyone replaced their decals on their trailer? Did you source them from Winnebago?

I tried using the search but couldn't find what I'm looking for. I remember years ago seeing some discussion on this about the decals fading early and being very expensive to source from Winnebago.
 
I don't think those apply to Winnebago trailers.
You're correct.

I know that you know what a "2015 27RBDS " is, but for the rest of us it helps a ton if you use the official model name "2015 Ultralite 27RBDS."

I don't know exactly where you get new decals for towables. I'd suggest calling Winnebago Towables Customer Care at (574) 825-8052

PS. Winnebago has so many model names I would have guessed that a 27RBDS was a Micro Minnie or even a Minnie. I'm not familiar with the Ultralite models and would guess not many others here are either. They were only in the lineup from 2013 to 2016.
 
I use Lichtsinn and Mobility RV (on Hwy 9 near Forest City and WBGO) ph: 800-933-7742 for parts. But - when looking at decal replacements I decided it wasn't worth the price for me to advertise their product.
A friend opined that a good graphic artist may be able to make something up, or a good paint tech can put almost anything you want.
 
We did get decals for a motorhome but my thoughts is that I would never do it that way again!
A few years back the decals from "official " sources were running near $200 and we stopped at $400!
My idea if needed again would be to shop local and modify to suit what I thought would best cover the unfaded part you will find under the current decal!
One reason for this is the great difficulty we had getting the new to exactly cover the difference in paint left when the old was removed!
We found those tiny little points where the swirls and stripes taper to an end were impossible for us to get placed exactly right. We settled for "close enough" and n0body ever mentioned it when we sold but we KNEW!

If this is a new project for you, be advised that it is simple but terribly hard to get exactly right to cover where the old outline showed! Seems like the decal material is thin enough that no matter where we started, as we worked out toward an end the material was deforming enough to either be too short or too long by 1/4 Inch. Just enough to show it had been replaced and not done exactly right!

The first one put on had to only hit the side of an RV! The second person has a much smaller target!
 
Appreciate the comments 'not for towable' ... please note that these outlets have access to much of the WBGO parts lists for all models and are also knowledgeable about after market sources.
 
I find E-bay is often a good place to shop and if I find it there, it is often way cheaper.
Understanding how business often operates is part of what drives me to shop there. As a place finds they are full of stuff they are never likely to sell, it can be a good move to just get rid of it, whether sold or just having somebody come get it!

That leaves room for folks who are not shy about working and investing some time and money! Some things like decals would make a logical item for Winnebago dealers to push out the door for nearly nothing just to free up space for something they are much more likely to sell.

A lot of good suggestions. If you run out of options that will work for you, try vinyl lettering from Lettering.com You can create or upload your own design, or they can help you and give you a free quote. I ordered from them and was very pleased. Good customer service. I designed a decal with our RV's name "Winnie Pearl" 2 years ago and it still looks great!

Greetings BZgran,
I was wondering if something like that was out there.
Great name for your motorhome!

I have also found local shops will do various levels of custom work, depending on what you can do and what they can serve up to match.
Thinking of the places who do custom car wraps for adverts? Much the same idea for custom RV items?
 
I had replacement decals made by a sign-maker_ who happens to be my SIL. They are every bit as good as the a OEM decals when the RV was new.
