I've been playing with the thought of "cleaning" up the side of mine. Who would one go about removing them? Will it leave adhesive on the walls? If so, how do you get that stuff off also. Thanks

Hair dryer to heat the sticker as your removing them and then Goof Off to remove any left over residue.

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=graphics+removal is the link to a lot of removers. I used a hair dryer, finger nails and label and sticker remover to remove the bubbled stripes on our old TT.
Walls were clean and undamaged when I finished.

On my trailer (aluminum siding), I used a hair dryer and WD 40 to remove decals that were damaged or needed to come off. The hair dryer heats them up enough to peal them off, and WD 40 does a good job of removing any adhesive residue.
Have fun!

You need some heat to loosen the adhesive and make the vinyl pliable. Park it in the sun for a while and then start working on the sunny side. You can also use a heat gun or hair dryer. Make sure not to scorch the vinyl. Also be aware that you will likely see some sort of fading, or difference in finish since your decals have been on for a while and they block the UVs from weathering the surface that they are covering.
Good luck.

Just did my trailer- Took about four hours over two afternoons-
Do it on a hot day and on the side in the sun- I had very little residue left behind.

Did mine after buying, it took a few days and several beers. Left it in the sun, cooked the decals and peeled by fingernail. Followed that with 3M adhesive remover (liquid).

I have a place here in town that does raps and stickers. They charged me $400 to remove all mine. This same place is going to do the new graphics on my 5er after after all my new logos are re-designed.
Place is called RubIt.
