winnebago readng IRV2

Take notice, after reading my post about dark colored M/Hs, guesstimate that 90 percent don't like dark top/front motorhomes

no surprise there, my roof is white - full body paint is very pretty; just not very practical

It's all opinion. I have owned a white TT, a white 5ver, a grn MH and a Brown and white MH. The colors never made much of a difference one way or the other. I found much more of a difference in weather the windows were tinted, had awnings, and what kind of inside window coverings they had.

Test for yourself. put white or unpainted iteml in the sun and a black/dark item of similar material for and at the same time. Check the temperature difference!

Yeah, I understand the difference between black and white. The percentage of dark to white in relation to the amount of glazing on the vehicle is not an issue. The dark paint is on the panels that are built with insulation under them. Glazing allows 99% of direct light and heat penetrate.

For me it's not an issue. I sit in Camp Verde AZ at this moment, and the heat is comfortably outside.

X2, windows contribute far more to the heat inside than any color on the sides of an RV ever will. Pull out the awnings and close the shades while enjoying a beautiful full body paint job.

we really like the full body paint - and the "dark" colour...
Black Knight is great by us :-)

As many as I see in the later models, someone must like the dark colors. When clean, a dark shinny motorhome does look good. I have never seen a motorhome that didn't have a white top.

Seems like all the new school buses have white roofs. They say it is 15 degrees cooler in the bus.

Dark colours

Have Sea Mist full body colour which is Kinda Bronze, light green with some dark green accents. White roof. Love it although stone chips on front show as white when paint is chipped away which is a negative.
