I've been up and down I-95 (by car) a couple of times over the last month and, while it's refreshing to see what seems like more Class A's on the road as compared to Spring during last few years, almost every one of them sported the same gold & black swirly-graphic paint job. Kinda boring. The owners better write down their slab# as they are going to have a hard time picking theirs out by sight.

I don't understand it either. Who said black on top with gold swirls all
over the place (Monaco and others overdo it) makes sense. There is no real
sense of style or understanding in the designs of today. Makes for a boring
look at things.

I went by a dealership on I 85 yesterday, more than half the class As line4d up were to a greater or lesser degree gold on black. Seems a bad idea in our climate. And in a large campground, they'll be like the farmer said, "If you drop your gum in the chicken yard, leave it".
I realize the things are large boxes, they need someone like Byron on staff to figure a decorating scheme which leads to some variety.
Although the point is really moot, I can't afford one anyway.

At least they are changing from the Brown on Brown that were the fashion for recent years.
