As I've commented before, with a all white coach, you'll never get stopped by the cops, they'll think it's a prison bus!

The pictures I have seen of all white coaches look very very classy, and removes the "dated" look of graphics or stripes. Add a MIB K9 personalized license plate on the back and never fear a road rage incident.

At risk of being banned from the forum, I agree the decals date the GVs. I never liked the motel deco look and think it looks much better all white. Since this photo, I've replaced the outside fridge door with an all white with rounded corners.

Photo is after a climb out of Death Valley heading west toward Highway 395.

Everyone to their own taste.
To me an all white coach looks more like a chest freezer on wheels.

Other coaches go way, way overboard with the external graphics.
Everything in moderation, as the saying goes. Too much or too little seems to provoke criticism, comments, and emotions.

I had several customers in the late 80's order grand villas in "plain wrap" no decals coaches for the reduced maintenance and lower heat gain.

Also owners who use their coaches in tighter areas appreciate the lack of visible damage from small branches rubbing on the coach.

When I mention branches rubbing on our coach the painted coach guys cringe

One of the problems I've encountered after removing the decals is the surface underneath is a few thousands of an inch higher than the surrounding area. Lots of sanding work will be needed or the area will show if the coach is painted. This is more of a problem with a coach previously stored outside.

I agree that I never liked the OEM mottled treatment on the cargo doors.

My coach had painted stripes (maroon/grey) above the floor level, with black stripes in the centre of, and bottom of, the cargo doors.
I replaced the black stripes with maroon/silver stripes.

I saw a Foretravel (owned by a WIN) which had been painted by "Extreme" with one centre stripe and rather liked it.

I find that all white is stark, however, it is very practical because scratches can be polished out.
May go that way after the poor paint job done by chewy at Playa Bonita!

Think we may actually agree on something.

We do push through a lot of trees in some smaller campgrounds. I usually take it dead slow and can always take the 3000 grit wet sander to anything that might leave a scratch. Most of the time, all the scraping noise the branches make really don't leave any marks.

Since the OP has a '97, all white Unicoach photos would be more to the point. That said, we did see this beauty at FOT (our coach next to it):

That is no issue at all on our coach. Got that part resolved. There is absolutely no ridge or ghosting. A real testament to how much gel coat these coaches have on them.

Thanks for all the input. Took some pic's of my friend Lucky's coach today. he just finished the major bulkhead repair.
Sorry for the crummy pic's. Took them with my dumb phone camera. It isn't much.

Like it. Just enough to say:"This is mine!" and not go overboard.

I stripped "most" of the graphics off my 95 and intended to install a set of new 95 graphics.
After removal I liked the look so much better than the out dated decal look I decided to keep it clean looking and disguise the age of the coach a bit.
I still have the 95 graphics set if any body is interested in them.

You can paint the cargo bay doors, nose, and tail without raising interior temperatures in direct sunlight.
