Good-day,
We have a 2001 starcraft 21RBS and have notice today that a little part of the trailer when white!
we purchase the trailer couple of years ago and it has always been a yellow color. The siding is fiberglass.
Should it be white like the little patch I saw today. If so what product can I use to do this.
Thanks

I think your problem is a chemical change in the fiberglass or gelcoat. If you are lucky one of the many cleaners available will change it back. I suspect that the only way to have a white trailer is to get a spray gun and white paint and paint the unit. Good luck.

We have the same trailer. Ours looks white, but I did notice when I replace anything that covers up the siding, it is whiter underneath. I would expect some color change, but not where it looks yellow. I use Meguires Cleaner Wax on it.
Do you have any pics of it?
Here's ours for a color comparison.

Hello,
took couple of pictures but they are hard to see the difference. I'm going to spend sometime and wax her up. Hopefully it changes it from yellow to white.
Have you ever had any problems with leaks?? For years we had a leak from the front bunk which traveled in the front storage comparment between the flooring and membrain. It had been doing this for years, and since the membrain doesn't let any water in or out, the flooring became a big sponge and one camping day no floor. Have you ever checked under the trailer to see if the gray membrain is glued tight to the flooring? Also have you looked in the front storage comparment and see if you notice any water stains on the front panel wood.

When we bought it, it was leaking at the TV antenna, and at both front corners which lets the water run down into the storage areas. I went up there and rebuilt the antenna hole, and reinstalled it. I went over all of the roof seams with ETERNABOND. I highly recommend it.
I have been leak free ever since.
Here is a link to the thread I posted pics late last summer.

We had a 2000 21RBS for 6 years...although I always considered the fiberglass to be white, we had a spot on the fiberglass that was much brighter white than the rest...never knew why.
