Observation of dealer lot inventory

[Underboss]

So while waiting for my build I have been perusing the current Newmar DS inventory. I still see a few 25's and a decent number of 26's on the lot or being built. The one thing that 99% of the current inventory have in common is white cabinets. The two tone design with white uppers. I personally do not like them and neither do other folks that I have talked to. I am surprised that they will still be an option on 2027's
I have to wonder what the percentage of coach sales or orders actually have white cabinets. Resale is always a challenge but when you buy something unpopular thats a difficult and costly change you really are taking a chance.

I think color choices in a RV or even S&B (homes) go in cycles. I think around 2022 the lighter colors started where back in my buy time of 2017 it was the cherry/walnut color era. My house built in 2005 had dark cherry cabinets, I don't think that's the fad now in 2026. It also depends on location. I think those in warmer climates such as when I lived in Tucson, AZ preferred lighter/white cabinetry and if you go to an area such as the North East they prefer darker colors.

Personally, I prefer the old style stained wood cabinets. Every time I look at a newer coach, I cringe when I see painted cabinets. Just my opinion though.
