Chinook RV

I find this to be an interesting build, really well done. Probably take this over a $140k Winnebago Revel.

6.0l's make me nervous. Neat rv, certainly one of a kind. I just wish I could trust a 6.0 more.

I think it is the same one in this thread:

It isnt a stock 6.o. They pulled the engine and sent it off to have it gone threw and bullet proofed.

I like the paint color and graphics, been toying with painting mine. This gray with some graphics looks like it works.

Personally i have mixed thoughts about painting the fiberglass shell. Its actually quite thin and it does flex more than you might think.
With that in mind i would think paint would eventually begin to spider crack unless the painter added some type of flex agent in the paint.
Gel-coat is so much stronger and durable than paint. You scratch gelcoat just fire up the buffer, you scratch paint and your off to the auto parts store to buy some touchup paint. Try buffing a clear coat paint job in your driveway and a year later you will have clear coat flaking off because you buffed a bit to much or used a little to much pressure.

Considering how RV's are used and the fact that tree limbs brush against them sometimes, i dont see paint being a good idea for much more than adding some graphics. I do know youre not going to want paint on the roof considering you have to get up there to do maintenance on occassion. If vinyl wrap wasnt so rediculously priced it could be a viable alternative, but not when it costs you as much to wrap a vehicle as it does to paint one.
