What material are the stickers made from?
Caravan name stickers are cut from premium pre-coloured vinyl rated for 5+ years of outdoor use. Pre-coloured vinyl is the highest rated vinyl for withstanding excessive UV exposure, heat, and harsh outdoor conditions — exactly what a well-travelled caravan faces.
Are caravan name stickers waterproof?
Yes. Our vinyl is fully waterproof and UV stable, designed to withstand sun, rain, and long-term outdoor exposure.
How long will they last?
Standard outdoor vinyl lasts up to 5–7 years. Actual lifespan can vary depending on UV exposure, surface colour (dark surfaces absorb more heat), and storage conditions.
What surfaces can caravan name stickers adhere to?
Caravan name stickers adhere best to smooth, clean surfaces including fibreglass, painted aluminium, acrylic, glass, and metal. They do not stick well to rough or textured surfaces, oxidised or chalky paint, or silicone-treated areas. For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wax, oils, or road grime before application.
Are caravan name stickers suitable for all surfaces?
These stickers are not suitable for ribbed surfaces, or any surface that curves in two directions simultaneously (such as a compound curve). This is a cut vinyl, not a wrapping vinyl, and will not conform to complex surface profiles. If you're unsure whether your surface is suitable, please contact us before ordering and we'll be happy to advise.
Are caravan name stickers removable?
Caravan name stickers feature permanent adhesive designed for long-lasting application. While they can be removed, depending on the surface and how long they've been applied, some adhesive residue may remain and the vinyl will not be reusable.
It's worth noting that over time, UV exposure can cause the paint or surface around your stickers to fade, while the area beneath the sticker remains protected. This can result in a "shadowing" effect — where the outline of the sticker becomes visible once removed. To minimise this, we recommend removing stickers after 3 years, polishing the surrounding surface, and re-applying fresh stickers. This helps maintain an even finish and keeps your caravan looking its best.
How do I apply caravan name stickers?
Your sticker arrives with transfer paper (application tape) applied over the design, holding all letters in position. Clean and dry your surface thoroughly, position the sticker with the transfer paper still attached, apply pressure to adhere it, then carefully peel away the transfer paper to reveal your caravan name. Detailed application instructions are included with your order.
What's the difference between caravan name stickers and full colour caravan stickers?
Caravan name stickers are cut from pre-coloured vinyl and are ideal for single colour text and simple designs. Full colour caravan stickers are digitally printed, which means you can include multiple colours, gradients, logos, and detailed artwork. If your design is more complex, check out our Caravan Name – Full Colour product.
