White vs. trailers with color
I'm on my 3rd 5th wheel. My first two were white with decal graphics. Seems like 90% or more of the 5th wheels on the road are white, it is so nice to finally see the different company's putting color...

We did notice that the rig was seemingly harder to keep cool. Seems like the darker colored caps and walls were hotter than our friends white rigs camping along side us. JMHO
Good observation and I believe accurate. When I wear a dark colored shirt in the sun I am warmer then when wearing white or light color. Same is true for anything outside, dark colors absorb more of the sun's rays then light colors. I am amazed when I see black components on the roofs of RV's, especially the AC cover. Can't be good when trying to cool a unit.
Don't get me wrong. I like the looks of these newer RV's with the color schemes and colors in the front and back. But having to deal with the problems I have read about here and elsewhere isn't for me. I'll take white w/ decals or have the decals removed and paint replacing them.
