Anyone want to trade color panels?

Pepsi22

I bought a Blue, TAB Max CS-S and will pick up this Thursday. The blue is OK. Just wondering if anyone would like to swap colors for the window trim, the door handle panels, wheel well covers and the propane cover. Would trade for black, white or grey.

If not, will look into having the panels wrapped to match truck color.

where are you?  I have black on a CS

@ronin718 - I am in Middle TN.

Ok, VA...  We can make this work.  Just need to come up with a plan...   

Pepsi22

Where would be a place to meet? Not sure how far north you are in VA, but anywhere from Abingdon to Blacksburg, VA would work. Any scratches or scrapes? Not worried about the underside of wheel well covers.

Can the TAB logo on back be swapped out?

Pepsi22

The little, color medallion on back is what I meant.

No scratches, no scrapes.  We've only been on two trips with this guy.

Not sure where Abingdon is, but I know where Blacksburg is.  We're all the way up near DC.  I don't know what your timing plan is, but ours is toast for September.  We've got the T@B going into the shop for a new vent cover and some other internal repairs, so we're not going to have him until October 3rd, and we've got a weekend trip on the coast planned for the weekend of the 10th.  So our earliest opportunity is going to be October 17th.

As for the logo, we don't have the color medallion.  I think that's a 2016 creation.

Also, plastic spray paint works well on the trim.

I would actually caution about swapping trim. While the trim is has pre-drilled holes, the T@B itself does not have pre-drilled holes and they may not line up exactly the same. Swapping them may make the trim on one or the other a bit "wonky"

Thanks, Mouseketab. Ronin718, we had better check with the factory as this might be a long trip for naught. Mouseketab, may be right since these are hand-made, not a factory production, per se. Each installer may have a slight variation on positioning. Since, neither of us is in a big rush, we should speak with the factory. I will check on getting the panels wrapped and see what that costs. Will keep in touch.

It would probably look good to take the color panels off and have it look like a baby airstream.

If you get a price on wrapping them, let us know what it comes to if you don't mind. Just curious.

ronin718

Sounds good, Pepsi.  The wife is neutral and wary on this change anyways, so if it doesn't work out, it's no big deal on this end.  While I would love the blue (it would go so well with the Seahawk trimmings I want to add), better to stay original than risk damage.

There exists some early Dutchmen models that did not have trim.

As I mentioned, plastic spray paint works really well on the plastic trim. I did mine shortly after purchasing. I had Red Trim, and painted it deep blue. (No color of blue was available at the time). I took all the trim off, and lightly sprayed several coats. We did it originally in 2007, and redid it again in 2012. I also have a Clamshell. There is minimum trim on those models, so not as much to paint.

To have all the color panels and tank/battery storage (inside and out) is $800. I am learning to like the blue. Ha. Ha. Actually, blue is my favorite color and I am a Titans fan. Plus, will trade truck shortly and can buy a silver or black one at that time.

ronin718

Okay, I'll continue to accept the black.
