We just bought a 2014 Thor Windsport 34F, and she has spots on her rear end and front. Does anyone know what these are? Is there a way to remove them?

Looks like the one at Kirkland? Did you ask them before you wrote the check? What was the response?
 
We bought this one at Kirkland RV, but I never asked them about it. I assumed I would be able to remove it, but nothing I've tried has worked.

Looks to be decals with sun damage, I think I’m looking at fiberglass body so not rust
 
Sun Damage

This is sun/heat damage with no way to cure them. I have the same model/year/color MH. Had to replace the entire passenger side, front, and rear decals after 5 years. We finally gave up and had the MH painted in Rocky Point, Mexico. No problems since.

There are companies that remove and replace decal but I have no idea of cost. At this point best option would be wash ,polish and wax before more damage starts else where.
 
Here in Arizona, it cost us $4,000 to have the passenger side, front, and rear decals replaced. That included removal, buffing out the MH, and replacing, and waxing the MH. Although we store the MH indoors, the summer heat shows no mercy on decals.

Thanks for that. We've decided not to worry about them and just to refer to them as Wendy's freckles. Our last rig was covered in bumps and bruises, bubbles, and band aids. So a few freckles is no big deal.
 
If nothing takes those spots off, I would be tempted to tape around them and cover them with paint from a rattle can. Then cover with clear coat also from a rattle can. Over time, maybe a few years, you'll have to do it again, but so what?
 
Is that the ladder in the picture? Did the previous owner use a rack to carry chairs on the ladder? Could it be they did and that is a rust stain from the chairs?
