There is no "real" noticeable heat change.
We go through this all the time with shingles, people say I want black shingles but they'll put to much heat in the house when it's hot out, entirely not true.

What about black cars and white cars? I think you are wrong here on the shingles.

And what does that have to do with black or white shingles?

I should have said compressor compartment/box. You can't even get to the compressor without removing the sheet metal shroud.

WE have a 2012 Wildcat Sterling The front cap is fading which I n hear I normal for these. We have delamination on the front sides & I find the floor soft in the kitchen area , also is there any way to put a heat control on the on demand hot water system? I would love to come to the rally as I have never been to one. We love our 5th wheel & it is our first FR product. It is a long way for us to come As we live in Edmonton Alberta Canada & also the ex change rate on the dollar just kills us now.

I recently had my front ac upgraded to 15000. The best thing I could have done. The unit doesn't work as hard had keeps the frount part of my coach cooler. It was done at the factory but I paid for the unit and installation. Jim

The discussion was black vs white. I can attest. Had a white Rockwood TT with a 15 k AC that would freeze you out. With the Dark Brown Diamond edition Rockwood Fiver and 15 k it does not cool nearly as well. I have thought of adding a front AC to our rig, might look at the RV surplus place and do the Herk mod too. Maybe a vendor this year will sell and install second AC's at great prices!
When you trade a 2009 for 2013 and they give you blackbook for the 09 and take 22 k off the 13 it was a no brainer for me.

it was colonial white up till 1995. then arctic white till a few years ago. we'll have a few years of the dark and then we'll come to our senses and back to white we'll go. we had dark interiors in the 70's. if it wernt for slides, it would look just as cramped now. I like the color schemes, its just not as practical.

Morn'n Miss Pennie,
I can't say they will or won't. I can say get the request in when that becomes available ......I will say the probability is pretty darn high though.
