 Topic: Stain color in 2016 models?Posted: 06 Oct 2016 at 4:27pm |

This past weekend I cut out a couple of access cubbyholes to the under-seat storage areas in my 2016 176, and I would like to add some trim to reinforce the edges and make them look nicer. Does anyone know what brand and shade of wood stain Forest River used, so that I don't have to bring a sample to town to have it custom matched?

The "wood" in the pod is vinyl covered wood and paneling, so there is no stain. With trial and error and a mixture of different stains you could arrive at something similar. You could also take a sample to Lowe's where they can match the color with a paint

Alaskaflyer – I hope this helps you.
The faux wood molding and cabinets on our 2016 178 are all a muddy brown color with what looks like a touch of grey. I took a sample of the wood to Sherwin-Williams to try and create a stain to match. It took a couple of days and though it isn’t an exact match I think that they got really close. I had to apply at least 3 coats of the stain to get that muddy colored look Here is a comparison of the sample on the left and the results:
 This is the label on the can of stain.  |

Thanks. I'll run with that. Doesn't have to perfect for some simple trim pieces.
