One would have to establish a baseline with identical make/model coach's one very dark vs. light to report any meaningful data. Short of that I am comfortable believing the darker paint scheme will have higher cooling demands.
I am apt to believe the same thing.
I was just looking for some people's real world experiences. Maybe someone used to have a light colored rig and now has a dark colored one. I realize different manufactures may have different insulation standards and different age rigs may be built differently also. But maybe someone has a friend who has the same rig they have in an opposite color scheme. Or at a rally of a certain manufacturer has there been conversations among owners on this subject.
I'm just looking to try and gain some knowledge as we begin our research into our next rig, a class A. One of the manufacturers we have on our list only offers darker colors on one of the models we like for 2018. Not sure why if you only offer two color choices you would make them both darker colors.
