   I like a real wood interior, but the look seems to have gone the
way of the Dodo bird or carrier pigeon.   The current campers, RVs and
even boats...they all seem to be plastic, vinyl or formica...and
houses are now sided with cement 'Hardy-plank' and have Trex (plastic
composite) decks.   The selling point for thees inorganic finishing
products seems to be "Never have to paint it"...."Always looks new"
"No maintenance"   To my eyes, the Plastic Look is dull.   I'd much
rather live with something that has a bit of character and might
require refinishing once every 15yrs than live with something that
looks like a porto-potty or a shipping container but is
'maintenance-free'
