I have had both and the FBP is a lot less work to keep up. We have had it for two years now and just the wash soap with wax in it keeps it looking good.Also the spray wax for a quick touch up.I wax mine twice a year on my 2003 I had to keep waxing all the time or it would get real dull and have to bring it back with polish. Also lets not forget about the stickers pealing all the time. We ordered our Winnebago and changed it to full body paint a few days latter and are glade we did.And it did cost around 6,000 dollars more but I think it is worth it and down the road when we trade up to our next coach I think it will help on the trade in two.
