I know nothing about the white, but so far my red has held up very well. Maybe someone with the factory white can chime in.

Our white is actually kind of light gray. That's the way it came but looks white enough from a distance.

I'm telling you Glenn, there's a roll of dark green vinyl trim sitting there on EBay just waiting for you to join the ranks of the color coordinated. [emoji6]

We chose white so the graphics would stand out by themselves. To each their own, however.

I chose white too, but it is not as close in colour to the trailer as I would prefer.
Thinking silver might match the pewter graphics. Not considering changing for some time though.

Here's our 21 with a blue (navy) belly band installed. If I knew then what I know now we would have opted for navy graphics, but it looks better to us than the black. Looks better in person than in the photos.

Stan, I've seen some blue vinyl for sale on EBay that might more closely match your graphics if you ever decide to change it. Hard to tell the exact color from an EBay photo, but they list navy blue and this one, which is just called "blue".

If not, it's a 8-10 minute job to install yourselves. Length wise you only need about 50 feet.

This is the one I bought, for the same reason you noted. The picture doesn't look it, but the vinyl is definitely navy.

Our graphics are also royal blue; this vinyl is navy. We do think it's a better look than the black, and it's better in person than in the photos I posted, but it's not a perfect match. That's why if we were starting over we'd just go with navy graphics.

I also note that the replacement vinyl is much lighter weight than the original used by ETI, and might not hold up as well. But for less than $20 including shipping and 10 minutes to install, if the new stuff gets ugly I'll just replace it again.

I noticed that too when I installed mine over a year ago. The edges are similar, but the center of the stock insert is much thicker. Didn't matter to me though because when you bend it to insert it, the profile is the same. And as you mentioned, it's easily replaced if it ever goes bad.

White belly band
The bellyband that Escape installed for me in 2009 is as good as new. Initially they thought at the time that it only came in black. As I knew otherwise , I let them know, and lo and behold a white belly band!
