How to prevent sidewall yellowing?
If all goes well, I will be picking up a new 2019 Arctic Fox 992 truck camper over Labor Day Weekend. As a fulltimer in a 5th wheel toyhauler (which is now 12 years old), I'd love to know a good way to keep the fiberglass walls on the camper from yellowing the way they have on my 5th wheel.
My 5th wheel is one of those wonderfully-built (note: sarcasm) Keystone Raptors. Delamination has been a huge problem too; in fact, the RH sidewall has already been replaced (with fiberglass from Northwood, btw, the same people who build Arctic Fox). Three years in and no yellowing so far, BUT, it also faces north.
Sorry... that was a bit of an anti-Keystone rant; I do it whenever I get the chance.
So... trying to decide to best way to keep the new camper looking awesome. One thought is to keep it wiped down with that F21 anti-UV spray. Downside is it attracts dust. What about wax? Is there any wax good enough to block the intense Arizona sun? I don't have the option to store it inside and using a cover would be a major PITA when I plan to use this thing at least 2-3 times a month.
I would appreciate any insight!
