Does anybody know the colour code for the white paint Dometic use on their RV doors? They appear to be the same shade but I cannot find the code anywhere. Being a spray painter in my last life It looks like a white with a purple tint. Bas

Can someone tell if you need to replace tyers after 5yrs even if the van has been in a shed and jacked up. There is still plenty of tred on the tyers
