BLACK A/C SHROUD

Why get a Black RV A/C shroud instead of a white one? Seems the black one would get hotter. Is there a reason other than color?
  • Nobody answered the "black and cooling" question yet. Does black shrouds effect cooling?? Don't know ?

    You got it, from the factory my A/Cs matched my Body,, Today one of them still does, other is White (matching roof) If I ever have to repaint,,, I may have them fix that.
  • Helps the heat pump in winter. :)
    White would be outa place on ours.
  • Black shrouds seems to be a better match for my 'camouflaged' Voltage.

  • Can't wait for them to come out in Harvest Gold or Avocado. Then you'd be talking fashionable.
  • I think black is the newer fashionable color for the last couple of years. Give them a few years and they'll be back to white or some other color. It's sort of like hem lines or appliance colors.
