Odd colors in older rvs

As someone said, " beauty is in the eye of the beholder"! Some people would pay millions for the Mona Lisa, I wouldn't pay $2.00 for it (except for resale)! We've had high end units (same brands bought used so we afford to purchase) since the early '90's. And until the 2000's, they all had very quality materials with similar patters/colors. Colors, which I thought were "hideous"! But, DW liked them. Mars/ Venus, Right Brain/Left Brain....go figure!

But there are ways to change things up without spending a lot. My clipper had been reupholstered not long before I bought it. In dark brown - which was not ugly but a bit boring. So I bought inexpensive faux fur throw blankets in orange and lime and put those over the brown. I can remove and wash as needed and if I decide to change things out, no major expense.

Learn to embrace it.
Either that or buy new and be ready to have the same thing said about your new trailer in a few years.
Bottom line, you are buying a camper, not walking down the runway at a fashion show.

so true bucky

Paint may be cheap but upholstery isn't.

And shag carpeting ON the ceiling!

Can't beat that shag carpeting!

I actually redid my clipper in lime green, orange and sun records yellow. With the big windows on all sides, it makes for a very bright and cheerful RV. I find most RVs to be dark and dreary in comparison.

Do you mean that awful mauve pink and aqua blue? We saw a lot of that when we were looking. Yuk.

Better than the paper bag buses they build today.
