TA has heatguns. A guy removed decals from my truck for 20$ while I was changing oil there. It'll obviously cost more for entire trailer.

Thank ya'll. Plenty of ideas to get me started.

My local lettering shop uses a solvent called "orange peel" on vinyl decals. It's best to strip the decal off with a 3M erasure wheel first then wipe the residual glue off with orange peel. #M erasure wheels are pricey but work good. The solvent is basically wipe on, wipe off like karate kid 8) It's very good stuff.

If they are painted on like they use to back in the seventies:
Easy Off Oven cleaner, but not the spray or liquid. They used to make it as a gel or paste. This way it stays in place and doesn't run. Let sit for about twenty minutes and wash off. Repeat as necessary.
But I don't know if they make it any more.
Not sure if those Stripper wheels work on that type.

The company I drove for lost a Budweiser account and they removed the vynel sticks on their trailers using an industrial steamer. worked like a charm .

I got to peel the logos off one of the sprinters we sold with a heat gun and plastic scraper. Most of it came off easy, but the hood was thousands of little tiny pieces from being cracked....that was a long friggin day....
