I understand if the price is right the color doesn't matter.

I would like to know when ordering a new trailer what is the most ordered or best liked color?

I am leaning toward the grey one but I also like red I'm the kind of person who likes to stand in the back

of a crowd instead of the front so I tend to go with the more softer colors than the loud ones.

having owned a black car I know how hard black is to keep clean

at one time I owned a white truck a white car and a white scamp trailer

so what's your favorite color?

My choice would be Gray. It's not white like most trailers are and it looks good with any color TV. Lately I have seen some CT go past on a flat bed that are 2 tone.

My choice was white. Shows the dirt/grime less. Cooler, I believe, in the summer and under the sun. Blends in with other trailers for more stealth, less inviting/noticeable to criminals. (just another white cargo trailer)

I ended up with white. In my case the price is right, but that was actually my prefered color. They are cooler due to reflectivity. My second choice would have been gray. If you go stealth, white looks more like just another CT. If you install windows then it really doesn't matter. I don't mind folks knowing its a camper, thieves are more interested in tools they can pawn or sell.

My CT's official color is champagne but looks more like a light silver (see my build thread for pics.) I m not really into the white or black trailers so I ordered my CT to match closer to the TV I had at the time. Now my newest TV is a mineral gray and the 2 different colors still blend fine.

Pete, do I spy snow in the background of your picture? If you are in the northern tier you can get away with a slightly darker color because the heat won't be an issue but if it will I would suggest as light a color as possible. Personally I'd like a yellow CT with black trim (windows and little stuff) and a white roof but I like bright colors. My local CT dealer has sample colors of every color offered, very cool!

the picture is from RNR trailer's web site trailers are built in Michigan.

I talked to the owner yeasterday if I order now they will have one ready for me second week of January
that would give me time to head to florida for a month or so
I have everything I need just load and go
then do the mods next summer when it's warm or I could do some in florida.

You've been waiting quite a while Pete! We're not gettin' any younger or spunkier, so I say make it happen if you can. :thumbsup: A winter month in Florida is highly motivating and energizing.

Both of mine are white. I wanted white so they would look like just another cargo trailer - nothing special - and because white should reflect heat better.

White. Cooler in Summer. Stays clean (clean looking anyway).

I'm of the stand out crowd, Red even though mines not a CT conversion, rather a garbage wagon conversion.
And matching the TV is important, just as important as having matching socks, something thats not always possible after a night on the town, But nothing worse then waking up somewhere and getting home and the wife asks you where you got the pink bra from....Hmmmm :?

Ordered my first CT last week and went with Light Pewter. It gives me a little color while not being too dark.
