Color choices for teardrop

Postby johnny_swindle » Tue Nov 15, 2016 7:11 pm

When you look at the color choices of commercially produced teardrops /tiny trailers, it seems that the basic color is white. Any down site to painting one a black over red combination?

Thanks....

Light color will be cooled Dark color will make it hotter inside.

Heat gain. It makes a pretty big difference in a tent, and the same will apply to a ttt. Of course if you usually are camping in the cold...

It would seem the real reason the trailer makers use White is because they buy large quantities of it at a time to save money ( The RV industry’s PRIMARY goal is PROFIT, and lots of it ) Imagine a company having to stock a lot of colors ... not very efficient , and pricy . Having worked in the automotive industry , we found a light sky or baby Blue color was the most durable color over time , only increased the heat absorption factor a little bit , didn’t show dirt as much , and heated just enough in the sun to dry out excess humidity on the vehicle body ...

Just what we found , your results may vary ...
