Has anyone taken a look at the new 2009 Fleetwood Tioga? It has a full body paint. Looks very nice! What a change full paint makes on a boring white exterior. I hope other class c manufacturers will also be going to a full body paint, or at least an option...Any thoughts?
Here is link o a pic of one at Lazy Days.

Ya gotta love that they are trying to sell 2009 models, and still have 2007's on the lots! What ever happened to 2008 
Yes, the full paint does make it look good...just wonder how much more we'd be paying for that paint job. I think I'd rather invest the money into the suspension, or some other part of the rig.
JMO!

I think it classes it up tremendously, and come resale time it will well-separate it from all those other refrigerators-on-wheels, and will probably turn out to be a decent investment

I like some of the full body paint schemes, others are gaudy. Like any other upgrade, it comes at an additional cost.

On a C, the added cost is at least $4000 dollars. I would not wish to require that all buyers pay this premium because someone thinks white is boring.
Beyond a certain size, particularly at certain manufacturers, full body paint becomes standard when construction practices require seams that must be covered with body filler and painted over.

I could see darker colors if you did alot of winter camping, as they absorb the suns heat better.

I didn't realize that there were several other manufacturers also offering a full body paint in a class c.(Other than the Jayco Seneca) I was just impressed to see this option for those of us that do not want to make the jump to a class A yet. I also realize that it doesn't matter what the exterior looks like as much as the floor plan and quality of the build. Thanks much!

We have this unit and love it. My wife fell in love with everything about it. The full paint is a nice upgrade.
