High Gloss " Gel Coated" vs - High Gloss.

[fowlergk]

Taking ownership of a 2020 GD Fiver next week. Looking for clarification on High Gloss ext sidewall panels vs High Gloss - Gel coated panels. Is this a play on words in the RV industry or an actual addtl benefit. My soon to be 2020 Grand Design Solitude 375RES-R has high gloss, gel coated on the sales brochure. However the Solitude S-Class series just has High gloss. Thoughts / Opinions on the differences and durability.

Thanks

This is not a play on words. There is a "gel coat" and then there is a "high gloss gel coat". The gel coat is standard on the S-Class units. The high gloss gel coat is standard on the regular Solitude. The high gloss gel coat is just an upgraded cosmetic finish.
