Well maybe, most buyers are cheap bastards only concerned about payment. They don't know the value of FBP and of course are on forums later as one post wonders complaining about fading, chalking, discoloration, and peeling graphics.

My previous RV was a Keystone Raptor toy hauler and I ordered it with FBP and dual pane windows. When I sold it this spring of course I priced it accordingly. You wouldn't believe the number of comments that they could get a new one for that, blah, blah. So they'd go to a dealer, buy a new one, ESP, etc. all rolled into a 20 year note. Course in a couple years of neglect it will look like crap. I sold it for my $$$ to a buyer who knew what he was getting. But most are ignorant of the value and it's payment baby, payment

Ah, but the problem is thor owners here sometimes think they spent all the money there is to spend, because they spent all the money there was to spend.

They bought bargain basement.
I bought bargain basement.

Price point.
Every
Single
Time.

If you all didn't buy the full body paint you all shouldn't have a thing to say about how your financial short-cut failed.

So you have been waxing regularly? I wash mine and wax every 6 months. I can get the same shine as new. i use ordinary RV wash soap, and towel dry.

i have been noticing as i run the generator, the rear has the soot from the exhaust.

Are you saying after a few years, it just starts deteriorating? ugh.
