Well, let's see. A few responses...

- I do see some fading already - mostly on the curved bubble part over the cab (that's a perfectly clear description, right?), and on one part (20% maybe) of one side. And I saw some discussion recently of the cost of a full new paint job - if (maybe a big if) a cover can make the existing finish last a couple of years longer, maybe it's worth it.

- we live in Santa Barbara - definitely IN town - with a small house and limited space. I can park my RV on the street for a day or two or three (have to get a $5/day permit in downtown SB, open M-F) - but hard to work on it on the street. I have it in a storage place about 10-15 minutes north, but no place to work on it there. And no covered spots (canopy, shed, etc) available there.

- I recently found someone thru the local Elks Lodge who sent a team to wash and wax - they did a good job, but they said they don't do polishing - I have to go to a body shop to do that. And hard to find ANY transportation-related business in SB that has space to work on an RV.

- I wonder now if I should have gone for the full paint job when we bought this about 2 1/2 years ago, instead of the decals - would that wear better? But I can't go back in time (working on it!)

- I will definitely go for fading over death :-) But that's why I asked about the no climbing cover option!

Thanks, all
Dan
