Hathaway owners full body paint

Has anyone ordered the full body paint? How much extra was it? Do you think it was worth it?

I just bought a SOB and one of the deciding factors was to have Full Body paint. The sealats are all sealed in and will last for the life of the coach. Also with acid rain, global warming etc is more durable than fibreglass and stickers failing.

Most of the time it is between $8,000-10,000 but once again everything is negotiable.

Make your deal without the full body paint then ask dealer what his cost is. Since they already know how much they are making off the deal see if they will sell you full body paint at their cost. That is what I did on my Forester and saved at least $2,000 mark up.

I received the price list when I ordered my trailer from the dealer in 2015. At that time full body paint for a Cedar Creek Hathaway was $7,000.00.

When I was at the rally in 2016, I was talking to a another Cedar Creek owner who had a full body paint job on his trailer. His only complaint about full body paint was trying to find sealant that matched the full body paint. His was cracking and he wanted to replace this sealant with new.

Another point you need to remember is that the decals will be different than a standard Cedar Creek Hathaway trailer. These maybe hard to replace if you need to replace them in the future.

On the full body paint for older models they stated: CEDAR CREEK TOURING EDITION by Forest River. I have a sales broacher from 2018, that shows the models that have full body paint just saying CEDAR CREEK.

It is part of the base SOB Landmark pricing, included like 17.5 inch H tires, 3.5 inch brakes and 3 AC units. Not options.

Also is standard on the River Stone Legacy line, which you might want to compare to the Cedar Creek, yes they cost more but do come with more standard features.

You can get the price by doing a "Build and Price" at https://www.couchsrvnation.com/fores...-and-price/100
and watching the change in the Retail Price.

The msrp looks like $10,650. That may include another option(s).
