Looks awesome. Not everyone likes yellow, but I think it looks great, especially with black. Reminds me of my old '69 Camaro SS, which was yellow with black racing stripes.

To be honest it wasn't my first choice of color either. But, at the time I got it it only had 50k miles at a great price. Since then I've grown used to it and even embraced it. Plus, if I ever get lost it will be easy to spot by SAR. ;)

Impressive list, and that's a big RV! 30 footer? We tow ours behind a much more modest 25 footer.

Pffft! No! It's 31'... ;) Belongs to a friend and I've used it on several of my longer trips to Oregon and New Mexico but I've also driven the Jeep to New Mexico. Sadly, I spent the same in gas to drive my Jeep to NM one trip as I did to tow it with the V10 Jayco on another.
 
I'm no stranger to driving the jeep to destinations. Moab was a biggie for me. I really want to explore New Mexico as I may retire there if I like it. Gotta get out of Cali.

My wife and kids are seriously considering Wyoming or Montana but we are woahfully naive to the brutal winters up there.
