Ok, I'm 55 and at our recent RV & Camping Show the majority of units had the dark interiors. Each one was like walking into a cave. Now granted, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, but even when they were better, I liked a nice, bright and airy interior. These things were terrible. I agree with the "trying to hide something" mentality.

When we special ordered our motorhome, we chose to pay the extra for the solid wood cabinetry upgrade and ordered the lighter maple cabinets over the golden oak. Woodwork tends to darken with age anyway and we expected to have our rig for 20+ years (we're in year 12 this year). I'd take our interior over ANY I saw at the show.

But I am in the over-50 crowd, so maybe it is a generational thing.

I just find it interesting that in over 5 pages of posts, there have been very few supporting the dark interiors. I wonder if they're going to be "in demand" in a few years when they start hitting the used market?

I think thats because the majority of the people on THIS board do the "camping" thing at campgrounds and campsites. The number of younger folks the RV industry is appealing to right now (and this is just my opinion as far as what your seeing on the inside of RV's these days), but there is a boat load of RV's being sold to the much younger crowd that dont do regular camping. They do race tracks, and i'm referring to club level motorcycle roadracing (my background), dirtbike racing/riding (thats who i sold my Jayco 5th wheel to several years ago), club level car road racing, camping at dirtbike parks that are popping up all over the place, ect. There are a LOT more places these young folks go that many of you (and me) old timers are simply not aware of. Trust me, the RV industry is selling the hell out of these things to that demographic, ESPECIALLY the fancy toyhaulers.
