I wax the entire thing once a year but the cap gets a wax job two or three times a year. Over time constant sun will suck the oils/moisture out of almost any gel coat and it has to be protected.

The only \"Real\" fix is to have it painted. Heartland has gone to this after many of their front caps and sometimes rear caps did this. Mine was painted with a base coat clear coat finish under warranty and the problem is gone. It's not necessarily cheap gel-coat. Most RVs are white and you don't notice it. B.O.
This is correct! Our previous 2011 Big Country developed \"fading\" gray caps. Something about no UV protectant in the gel coat. There is nothing that can be done except painting the caps. Heartland sent us new graphics and $800 but that was not nearly enough to cover the expensive job. We no longer have that rig and opted for a white one this time.
