Bumper stickers usually go one of two ways. Either you have a large collection and enjoy looking at them, noting all the places you’ve been, admiring all the things you believe in or want to promote, etc.; or you plop a sticker or two on, thinking it looks good at the time, then regret it a few months later.
On top of that, you’ve got people out there where the sticker must be perfectly placed and perfectly straight, and other people who smack a sticker on, not caring at all whether it’s aligned with the one next to it or parallel to the back bumper. What kind of bumper sticker person are you?
Some folks treat bumper stickers like merit badges—each one hard-earned and carefully chosen. Others just like to have a laugh and pick out something silly or sarcastic to get a smile from fellow travelers on the road.
Of course, there are also those who slap one on in a moment of passion—maybe after a great hike, a big political moment, or a funny roadside souvenir stand—only to realize later that their taste has changed.
And let’s not forget the “sticker remover” crowd—the ones who bought a used RV or tow vehicle and are still trying to scrape off that last bit of someone else’s personality with a razor blade and a bottle of Goo Gone. Sometimes, the story isn’t about what you put on—it’s what you’re trying to take off.
If your RV or tow vehicle has a bumper sticker (or more than one) on it, what are they about? Travel stickers? Politics? Funny quotes? A combination? Tell us in the comments below after you’ve voted. Thanks!

We take all of our favorite bumper stickers of the places we have been and place them on stick-on magnetic backers so we can add and remove them from bumper (or any metal surface) any time we want. Worked great for the last three years and we get to keep all of our memories when we sell our RV (if ever).
This is a clever idea.
My wife would like to find a decal of piglet with a balloon to put on our TT.
We have the US and Canadian map. All the states and provinces are filled except Hawaii, Nunavut and Northwest Territories.
Gee the attractions charged us admission, so then we should buy bumper stickers providing free advertising for them? Wouldn’t even put a free bumper sticker on.
Nor do I have political bumper stickers. Don’t want vandalism by TDS [bleeped] that would be costly to repair. Vacation goals are to have happy times. And when bumper stickers age, I don’t wish to deal with removing stubborn glue and remains.
AMEN, brother!
Three, Disabled American Veteran, other two retired military vet. That’s enough.
Thank-You.
“None” the most popular vote? Okay, I have none on the RV rear bumper itself. But what about all the ‘bumper’ stickers put on the rig’s walls by the factory and dealer? Most I quickly removed. I left the certification stickers, and we added two of our own to the rear wall.
One. US Army Retired.
Thank-You as well.
I said “a lot”, but they are on our back side window and the lower parts of our front windows, not the bumper, does that count? We don’t use that back window at all and there’re easy to remove that way.
None! I even remove, or have removed, the dealer’s sticker from our vehicles. I also swap out the dealer license plate frames.
I don’t have any on the outside of my teardrop, but I have lots on the inside of the galley hatch.
None but DW got a license plate frame that says I’m not speeding I’m qualifying. Based upon my sports car racing in the long past.
The important ones on the Airstream show which national rally’s we have attended, and which club we are members of. The Tow vehicle is becoming a billboard.
Not really a bumper sticker, a PROTENG sticker for the fire suppression system.
