Some folks like that, but I too was want me warm colours. In 2008 I asked them if they would do another colour gelcoat, but the wouldn't. That, combined with an extremely high cost turned me away.
A few folks here promote them, so I image will ultimately buy one, and that is just fine.

Speaking of gelcoat color- are the current trailers whiter than before? Saw an almost brand-new 5.0 today next to a 2015 and the difference was striking.

Yes, the color changed from a “creamy” white to a more pure white with the new generation / molds a few years ago. (Mid 2016 if memory serves. Someone correct me if I’m wrong please.)

I'm curious at what point does a 3-season trailer become a 4-season trailer? What is the criteria for a true 4-season trailer? Who certifies that a trailer is 4-season?

Geographic location is a big factor. Four season capability in Arizona or Texas is hugely different from four season capability in Alberta or Alaska!

Exactly! Not having an air conditioner here would make the trailer have only a 3 season capability - forget camping in the summer in over 100 deg temps!

Exactly - I totally agree with your assertion. I know they are very well built, but the interior is just like a hospital. You nailed it!
