RV mantles are made up of vinyl images, that stick directly on the outside of the RV, changing its look without leaving traces on the original paint. They receive designs made to answer exactly to the model, that they are done for. For fresh vehicles, those mantles work almost as guards, they defend the original surface against sun rays, road dirt and typical travel wounds, at the same time allowing owners show their style clearly.
Older RV owners also like mantles, and that has good reason. For instance one took a model of 1999 Class A, that suffered from sunburn; the mantles revived both sides of the dull outside. Other owner, that bought a used RV, thought, that simply painting it will suffice.
RV Wraps: How They Change Your RV and What They Cost
But it turned out, that that did not happen. The cost was high, and a friend advised to consider mantles instead. In another case, one had a 2015 travel trailer, where cleaning supplies did not help against the colourless fiberglass.
That time the owner saw nice wrapped vheicles at a car show and seriously thought about that.
Prices can shock a bit of folks. For a 28-foot model high at 8 feet, two-sided mantle for only the sides cost around 2,000 dollars. For full covering?
Double that expense. Fifth-wheel models also raise the price, because they are bigger than average trailers. Class A motorhomes stand at the peak, full mantle cost between 6,000 and 12,000 dollars.
Medium big Class B or C models usually fall between 2,500 and 5,000 dollars. For partial works, as one expects, one pays around half of the full cost.
One commonly mentions painting as alternative, but it not always is the best idea. Typical paint cost sits between 5,000 and 10,000 dollars, what seems too a lot for an old road vehicle. One owner received too bids each 28,000 dollars, obviously not practical.
In addition, special colour can lower the resale value later. Local wrap shops commonly make more sense for such tasks.
The process of mantle work means printing of vinyl on large devices, layering of the material, precise checking and professional installers, that apply it. Average, normal vinyl lasts between seven and nine years, after it is on the outside. The final look shows right away, although one must know, that it does not stayperpetual.
One removes mantles without hurting the original paint, what is a big plus. Even so, not each wrap shop accepts RV tasks… Because of the size and trouble, one maybe must search a bit.
