Thor Axis 24.1 Gel Coat

Has anyone experienced issues with their Gel Coat? The one side that faces the sun is past the point of repair and all who see it say it must be a defect. The one side looks 15 years old. I did regular maintenance with rv wash and wax and the side that faces the sun is completely destroyed.

I have the same exact issue with my 2015 Windsport. Where one side of the RV faces the sun at the storage lot (unfortunately it isn't on the rode for travel more often) the gel coat has gotten extremely dull and the decals are fading. I had it detailed and it looked better for a few months but is returning rapidly to look shabby again. Wish I had full body paint instead of decals and HD-MAX.

Most of the marinas around here use it.
