New color on Montana's

Hi All,

Saw a new 2014 Montana today with the "new" exterior color. Guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me, looks like it has been parked in the desert for a year and needs a good bath. The black frames around the compartment doors and the black A/C covers not good for me.

Glad my 2014 is Snow White. Gel coat looks like a boat.

Sorry Keystone, to me a bad idea.

Jim

You are spot on with your observation... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Others may love it. Diversity can be a wonderful thing.

Several brands are switching to a variation of that new color, so I bet the color change is a cost savings, and not just a marketing change, but white, oyster, or black/tan/red/gray they all look good to me.

Seems to be a keep up with the others thing. White appears to be out and whatever color that is appears to be in with most every brand. we are a Big Sky so it does not matter.

Dick and Joyce. Thanks so much for liking the new color. That is what we got on our new 3625re. Has to grow on you I guess if owning it for a week will do that. Hope is doesn't get old. Sure hope it doesn't fade like the gray cap on my Cougar did. Had it re-done twice. Joe&Buffy

I loved the new color on the 2014's. I would have chosen that on our 2013 358rlt if it had been offered. I liked it because it wasn't too dark. Enjoy.

I liked it. I wondered too how well it would clean up when dirty.

I like the new color. We saw the change at the Hershey show and Keystone is not the only manufacturer going to the new color.

Regardless of what color they evolve to, I am slightly partial to the Big Sky colors!!

So am I Bingo but 6K for the Big Sky body paint and G614 tires YIKES!!! I am happy they at least changed the plain white gel coat color for free, Although that nice Black body paint on Yours would match up real nice with my Black Chevy

I think the new color will grow on us. I'm not crazy about white.
