Sharp colors! The top and bottom are favorites!

Are they painting the graphics on the sides of the slides? It would add a touch of class!

No they are not painting the graphics on the side of the non painted unit. They will have just one colour for the side wall and the Front and rear cap will be painted with decals applied. The sidewall colour will be an off white with decals applied. From what I have seen it looks very sharp.

One other note, the end panels on the slides are now painted Black on the full body paint. I am not a fan of this colour.

Yes, that is correct. The painted version is an option like the original Redwood. The graphics decal package is the standard. The decal package is available in one colour only.

At lease you will not be able to see all the black marks made by the slide seals on the black slide out side walls.

Having full paint as an option is part of the way to lower their price point. I brought up to Ryan And Tim at the rally when they were looking at my trailer a suggestion that they start building them like the car manufacturers do. Offer a base model with a heavy under structure and offer options if you want to upgrade.

I will be uploading a few pictures of the interior today. This is the exterior of the unit that we seen at the open house. The front cap graphics on this full paint unit is much different than the picture that Andy has posted at the beginning of this thread. I was told that this is too difficult to paint and that they would be going to the colour scheme in the picture. In my opinion, more black means more heat build up. I like what I seen at the show. They did not have any painted units available with the new colours.

This is what the non paint unit would look like based on a display.

Tony - I much prefer the lighter colour at the front rather than the black on the brochure that Tim sent. In addition to the heat issue, having owned a black car, they are impossible to keep clean.

Not a bad look for a Non Paint / Decal Redwood
