Not sure what the position is with coloured gel coats? I guess at least 90% of the fibreglass I have seen is white.

Many boats have coloured gel coats.
However many more are white, as are caravans and Motorhomes. Is it to do with minimising heat absorption?

Fibreglass car bodies are not all white, so what's the problem?

Yes i suppose they are, never thought of that.

You could have the roof vinyl wrapped in a colour to suit? That would also help against the degredation!
Likes to wax and have a smooth finish! Has an empty space where once a very polished Eriba stood😎

I think the white roof links it to the classic look. Without it more people would say Hymer have have got it wrong and gone too far. Step change evolution.

Yes, it was the look of the Eriba that first attracted us. When made further enquiries and had a look inside we were sold - no more camping for us. We think the grey and white is the best colour scheme but I guess its all a matter of taste.

But surely, silver will reflect heat just as well as white. Won't it?
In my research to make a solar water heater I learned black is best white is worst, gloss finish reflects some solar energy matt reflects less, so a gloss white finish is best at reflecting heat and matt black is worst............ all others fall somewhere between depending on their reflection or absorption capabilities.

We were tent campers when the girls were young, cottages having got too expensive. Went to the NEC to look at folding camper/trailer tents. Was astounded at the price. Next door to the Pennine stand was Lechlade with the Eribas. The rest was history, we had a look round all the models, fell in love with the PuckL, went on EribaAmiga and found ours down in Kent. Went armed with a lot of money and came home with our Eriba. Happy days.
We love the classic white over silver but Neil has a secret hankering after the dimple finish. In the end they are all Eribas.
