I really like a lot of the newer dark colors on overland vehicles. I don't think you can go wrong. The dark green and gray Jeep colors are two of my faves. I recently bought a gray Jeep and the color is called Rhino. So, of course, we call the Jeep Rhino. Check out that color.
Not my Jeep but just like the one in the first post here. Just for your consideration:

Yea that’s in the mix. We’re going to drive around this week to all the dealers and compare colors.
Looks good man! We were going to do Anvil Grey but somewhere along the way decided a darker color would look best.
Toyota Land Cruiser Copper Brown Metallic!
I like it on that, not for the camper tho.
We thought about a dark green color but don’t want it to look like a military vehicle haha.
I’m sure it’ll look good no matter what you pick. I think most campers and RVs end up lighter colored to be neutral for most buyers, and to stay cooler in the sun. White roof prob helps the most for that though.
Love the build. I sold my Chinook project b/c baby #2 just showed up. I will continue to live vicariously through expo and builds like this!

More progress on the window.
Also got the new door in, just need to take a couple inches off the bottom and she should fit nice.

Looking good! When I got my gutted Premier I was worried it wasn’t as cool as the concourse with its big windows. Then I realized they would only make the interior buildout more difficult. The small sink window and large rectangular dinette/couch windows were a better call. Will be cool to see how yours ends up.
Are you adding any ribs/structure to strengthen the side now that there’s no window frame?

And she’s smooth! Going to wait to cut the window in till we figure out the new dinette/cabinet layout.
Going to see, don’t think it will need it but I might after I figure out where I’ll be placing the window.

Door is all cut down! Was a little tricky figuring out the length of the frame, screen door, and door since they needed to all be cut to different lengths. Overall it wasn’t that bad. Took about 3-4hrs in total. Just have to install it now, need to get some butyl tape.
