2013 Paint fading

Does anyone have an issue of their paint fading on their 2013 premier? The diver's side of our 5th wheel is totally faded. Now the back cap is fading. Looks like oxidation. The front cap was repainted, and even the side of it is still fine. Any idea how to fix this??

Fading Paint

I had the same issue. I "fixed" it by trading it in on a new 2016 model.

The side wall of the trailer is fading? Is you're a full paint? If not how can you tell?

My front cap has the standard gel coat failure but I had no warranty so I'll repair it myself.

Yeah, our exterior surfaces look pretty sad. Exception is the front cap which has been repainted under warranty. The other walls are like fiberglass with gel coat and not painted. I call the color “mocca”, it’s kind of tan. I polished and waxed last year and it looked a bit better but you can’t tell it now. I suspect it has something to do with the color. It seems to me that plain white holds up better.

My Premier is off-white so if it has faded I can't tell
