I say White for a couple reasons. Probably first and for most its cooler. I live in the south so the cooler the trailer in the sun the better. When we boon dock I have to run my generator if I want to run the AC.. With my white trailer well insulated and with my roof vents I can keep my inside temps the same as outside. Which is about as good as it gets.. Go stick your head in a black or grey trailer in the summer.. Its pretty much a solar oven...

2nd reason was anything you add to the outside will probably be white. As in water hook up, power hook up, AC, hot water heater door, Outdoor shower, even a RV style entry door. You name it most RVs are white so almost any kind of hatch, cargo door, ect will be white. Now if you don't mind painting all that stuff to match your trailer then np.. I'm glad I just went with white.. I was tempted to get a slate grey one as thats the color of my truck. The heat and having to paint everything kept me from doing it.. Glad I didn't cause now I have a new truck thats a different color and still have the same trailer.. So it would have been a lot of trouble for nothing. The other thing to consider is resale.. When you do go to sale it. Possible buyers might be scared a away buy a metalic green or blue trailer :R .. Honestly same goes with black.. When I was looking for a used trailer I wouldnt' not even consider a black one because I knew I'd be camping out of it.. Seen plenty of deals on black trailers with harley stickers on them...

WHITE..............6
BLACK..............1
SILVER/GRAY......5

Black was disliked because it was hard to keep clean

I think I will go with a silver/gray colored one
and add some stripes or decals on the v-nose and on each side
I don't want to blend totaly in I just want it to look good.

I may head north tomorrow if the weather holds.
everyone needs a new trailer for Christmas
I have to start depleating my 401K this year anyway.
should cover the cost of a new one.

Also remember that white is the cheapest. Any other color carries a charge for paint.

My vote is for color matched to the tow vehicle. For me, that'd be Blue. :)

My trailer is white. It matches my trucks and my hair.
