Ah yes, that was back when school knickers were all navy blue.

We know what you studied at school now don't we.

Or bottle green.

And another studious type....

I'm on the side of cost, cheaper to produce, maintain and repair

I might do ours in dazzle camouflage so nobody kwows where we're heading

Ours is painted in an MOD approved stealth paint. So good that drivers coming out of side roads can't see us

White makes it easier to see the amount of flies on the overhead !!

You led a sheltered life, around our way there was a blue nicker school, a green nicker school & a brown nicker school.

In collyhurst in Manchester the girls couldn’t afford knickers

Our last RV in full paint finish , no stick on decals, never a black streak .
We now have a white Hymer, not quite the same

Always amazes me that the very expensive European Morelos etc are turned out in plain white, a proper paint job would show a bit of street cred.

You can make an expensive N+B even more expensive by specifying one of the colour option, about €18k I believe

You have to go to a VarioMobil to get full paint and lacquer, twice the price of most MORELO.

Evidently my experiences weren't as far reaching as yours.

My Four Winds cost an extra £7k for the full paint back in 2010.

To match the hair colour of the majority of the owners perhaps?

In that case (mine at least) that would mean no paint...

White does not heat up so much in sunlight, as most motorhomes are built using different materials with varying thermal expansion rates keeping the thermal diffirences as small as possible avoids damage on joints.

Green in Tonyrefail!

I couldn’t agree more as a Concorde owner but when enquiring about an alternative colour to white the barriers go up,they appear not interested even when cost is not a problem. Even the £1m+ Centurions are all white,sad really as the image above looks fabulous and in white it wouldn’t look half the MH it is.

There was an article in MMM with is in detail Here about wrapping a Hymer MLT in black with decals
Coast £1,500 from memory, and that was only because they had to make the template.
I'd guess about a grand if you had a similar vehicle and similar design

 

[Brains]

You also get the Hymer MLT " RockStar"
Any color you like, as long as it's black
