Never experienced that with our units. Have you kept a good coat of wax on them?

We had both discolor on our 3465.One was replaced under warranty, the other was after the first year, and Keystone wouldn't replace it. It didn't hurt the door, it just looked bad. I was going to re-paint it, but we just traded units. That was an expensive fix. JT

We had just noticed that one of our storage doors is also starting to discolor. It's occurring near one of the edges.

If you all are going to the National Rally, be sure to point the discoloration out to the tech when you have the 15 minute tech time.

They replaced mine with no questions asked.

Curb side storage door and street side propane compartment door went brown down along the bottom 1/3 on my 3150 ... both into the end of the first year and on into the second year of ownership ... had to replace them on my dime as Keystone said the drain holes in the bottom had to be plugged. They weren't and the dealer tech and service advisor said they weren't, but Keystone said it was due to lack of maintenance. Some of your know me and lack of maintenance isn't in my vocabulary.
