New standard Black and Tan Exteriors instead of White for Aframes

SurveyorWI · 09-18-2013, 03:44 PM

Wish I had this exterior color scheme on my 2014 Rockwood. Looks like Forest River finally replaced the boring white exterior with a new Black and Tan Exterior. Looks way better. Discovered this out by accident when looking at photos of the A122BH online.

I like the look of the black and tan, but where'd the diamond plate go? Our Flagstaff is a 2014, and it's still the white with the diamond plate. Maybe only the Rockwood's are going to black and tan...?

Tan with black trim and windows come with the Emerald package from RW or FS

OOps, the diamond plate is painted black also

My only concern. Black attracts heat. White repels.

With the new exterior colors at least it wouldn't show the black streaks and dirt as much.

I like the flush mount stove top. I bought mine a month ago and didn't see any of that.

It looks like the stove has a smoked glass cover. Very sharp looking.

Wow - Its attractive on the outside but the black trim on the interior isnt appealing to me at all...it is too harsh for my living preference. Stove cover is nice...too bad they didnt do anything with the sink fixture yet.

looks like they also reduced the size of the stereo to a car stereo.

Nice. I wonder if the stove would be an easy change.

Anyone who has a chance to see one in person, interested in the cooktop, if that's just a new cover or the cooktop itself is new.

It is a hinged cover.

Still a gas fired stove.

Yeah, I realize it's a hinged cover.. Just don't know if the stove underneath is the same Suburban 3-burner model I have in my 2011. Then I'd know I need only find the cover. If it's a different drop-in then I need to check dimensions and see if the hinged cover would fit the drop-in I already have or not.

Looks like a different stove. Here's another new model that has that enclosed stove

Ah. Better pic. Looks like the fridge is also new and the cabinet is now two different levels... Probably to add height for the fridge with freezer as well as extra space for the flush-mount stove. I guess I'll be skipping that then.

Looks like a new line from dometic. Lots of interesting goodies here.

Envious! I shoulda waited a few more weeks. Wifey just told me how much she loves her bday present (t12), so all is well.

handbuilder · 09-20-2013, 09:11 PM

That is a highwall model. If I could make one major change to mine, it would be to replace my fridge with one like the HW has, with a small freezer....I sure miss my ice cream when camping! haha

SurveyorWI · 09-22-2013, 08:12 PM

This dealer has been better pictures of the stove and new standard exposure.

The new colors make the FR's products stand out when compared to Chalet's or Aliner's
