Color

What do you guys think of the oyster color and the black trim? Do you think if will fade in the sun faster than the white? And how do you guys like the bonded windows that come with the package?

Love the color, especially the black trim. I also think the bonded windows look awesome.

I looked at white and oyster side by side and it was an easy choice but totally a personal choice...no right or wrong.

I don't expect fading to be different.

We wanted the bonded style windows, and loved the Oyster color to boot....was a win win for us..only complaint is the bathroom window doesn't open.

303 protection a couple times a year should keep you in pretty good shape. White trim has a tendency to yellow if not cared for...I would prefer faded black to the yellowing.

Either way the 303 will keep the rays at bay.

Yetavon, We have the Sapphire package and our fridge drain is black. Strange they would put a white tube on a black access panel and maybe hope nobody noticed, lol.

Yes, I have the same thing. I covered the white drain with a piece of black wire loom that I had. Looks much better.

Our old camper was white and I started seeing the oyster shell models with the bonded, dark windows and loved the look. Frankly, I thought the trim was dark brown, not black, until I saw one up close. I like how the side windows are awning style so can be left open in the rain.

I never noticed the white drain tube until this post. I really love the oyster shell color with the black windows. Hopefully it will hide the dirt a little better. What I don't understand is the window above the sink is two separate panels why not one full window just a thought.

Color

I have the Oyster Fully Loaded 23IKSS and love it my buddy has a 2013 white 21SS and it has a lot of stains, but so far the 23IKSS has been easy to clean.

When recently visiting the factory they had quite a few units on the lot ready to ship out to dealers. This made it very easy to look at the difference between the standard white and oyster. It made our decision very easy to go with the Sapphire package. Regarding the interior, we waited a few weeks as the interior colors have changed. Wasn't a big deal to me but my wife of course had an opinion and preference....

We got a 2015 Saphire but I wanted the Willow interior because I heard colors were changing, Does anyone know what the interior color options are now.

I do. I have confirmed that the following have been sent to dealers. The factory has switched over to these new 2016 colors.
