I used the dawn dish soapy water, both on the camper and on the decal. I removed the backing paper, soaped the decal up as I went along, soaped up the camper and then lined up the decals to the old marks. Doing it this way, I was able to slide the decals around and line them up perfectly. Once they were in position, I took a bondo squeegee and smoothed them over, squishing out the soapy water and adhering them to the camper. Then I carefully peeled off the outside paper, using my squeegee to smooth the decals down as I went. Once the soapy water mixture dries, it is stuck fast. You can put more soapy water on and move them around forever, but once it dries, you are done
I forgot to acknowledge Emily's post, which I had bookmarked. After re-reading it two or three times, I did exactly what she described and it worked. I used a spray bottle with water and a little Dawn soap to spritz the decal and trailer before applying. Thanks!
