DRV Motorhome Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
DRV didn't just build a fifth wheel; they built a rolling luxury estate, and the paint palette reflects that "top-shelf" lifestyle. We've seen 4 primary colors recorded for these rigs, ranging from the deep, midnight vibes of Obsidian Black to the crisp, clean Cherry Blossom White (DFHS 866). They also mixed in some warmth with Mahogany Red and a classic Beige. It's a sophisticated lineup that says, "I have a wine cellar in my kitchen," rather than "I'm just here for the campfire s'mores."
What to Watch For
Now, here is the catch: finding your actual paint code is a bit of a treasure hunt. Unlike a car where it's right there on the door jam, DRV likes to play hide-and-seek. Check the inside of your kitchen cabinet doors or the interior of your control center panel for a build sheet or a small printed placard. If it's not there, look for the weight rating sticker near the entry door-sometimes the codes are tucked in the fine print.
As for the paint itself, those high-gloss finishes are stunning, but they are sun-worshippers. Keep a close eye on the front cap and roof edges; the clear coat there is the first to feel the heat, and it can start to look a little tired or flaked if it spends too much time in the desert sun. If you catch a small chip early, you'll save yourself a lot of heartache later.
Driveway Repair Tip
When you're ready to use your touch-up pen or brush, remember that these premium colors-especially Mahogany Red and Obsidian Black-have a lot of pigment settled at the bottom. Shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds; if your arm doesn't hurt, you haven't shaken it enough.
Since DRV uses a high-build finish, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you drop a massive glob of paint in there, it'll look like a pimple. Instead, dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. Wait 15 minutes, then add another thin layer. Think of it like painting a miniature-patience and thin layers will make that repair virtually disappear into the gloss.
