There is a letter in the "Reader's Forum" in the February issue of the FMCA magazine that really caught my attention.

Original letter quote:
Simplify Exterior "Designs"

Dear Editor:
The greatest motorhome design flaw may be the exterior paint. Where is it written that motorhomes have to be painted with a bunch of scrawling lines? No matter what brand or make, they all look alike. My computer can generate endless variations of these mindless, cluttered designs, but in the end, they all look the same.

How about a nice, solid color or two-tone paint? One of the neatest paint jobs I ever saw on a motorhome was in the 1970s. It was a "Coca-Cola" red GMC.

This man is standing up and telling everyone "The Emporer has no clothes!" and he is echoing what I have been trying to tell the local RV manufacturers for years - those "swoopy swirls" you put on your coaches look stupid, and they make your RV look like everybody else's RV. And the writer does include GMC content in his letter.

I sent a reply to FMCA Magazine which let them know what I think. I would like to get some opinions from others on this Forum, and especially on what you think about putting these swoops on our Classic GMC's. I might even post a copy of my reply letter if this doesn't create too big of a stink.

Please remember - this is my opinion, and your reply is going to be your opinion, so keep it kind - no yelling please. :>)
