Went to pick up the van for this second service all was well, the sale man hook the van on the car ready for us, did not note that they put a sticker on the front jockey wheel frame cover to say it been service, I would't mind if it was one of those in the front window where you can peel off, but it stuck hard on the body work, How can I removed it, not sure if I use a hair dryer on it to soften it,
Any Tips please Thanks Trevor123

Use a hairdryer to soften the glue and peel off.
Clean the residue with white spirit.

Trevor,

There is also a product on the market called stickystuff remover which is made from an extract of orange zest and doesn't harm plastics etc. Soak the label with that, leave it for a few minutes after which it will be easy to remove and then wipe off the softened glue with a clean cloth.

There's another side to this Trevor.
It does prove the caravan has been regularly, professionally serviced.
My A frame has five years worth stuck on. The stickers do not name the dealer.

With you on that one DD. I always leave mine on too, though my initial instinct was to remove.

I always put mine on the A-frame too as the dealer just gives it to me with the receipts. WD40 will soften the adhesive. Don't stick anything on van windows as they can be sensitive to adhesives and start cracking.

The dealer gives us the sticker and I stick it in the A frame cover. It shows the caravan has been serviced and I am happy to tell the world we maintain it properly also one covers a black mark I could not get off.

Hi All, Can see your point of view about leaving it on the A frame, it also name the dealer and got 12 months writen on it, but no date to say when it was service, but we all way carry the photo copy of the bill with our car insurance/mot ect with us every time we use the car/van, it just remind me of a smiley thing if you see what I mean, Thanks Trevor123

We leave all our yearly servicing stickers on the A frame, too. Also shows to a potential future purchaser that the caravan has been professionally serviced.
