Default vinyl wrap instead of painting

My coach will need exterior painting soon. While I am not ready yet, I am looking at options vinyl instead of painting. The info I have so far is it look good, doesn't need waxing, will stand pressure washing, and lasts about 12 years. Supposedly it is about 1/3 the price paint.

What do you think? Anyone care to share their opinions?

Look at it this way, if you can wrap a hot dog in bacon I don't see why you couldn't wrap a newell in something.

I would really weigh out the cost and longevity.

I know a couple of luxury coach owners that have had the wrapping done. One has their trailer done to match but with a business name on it while my family member had their bus done about 4 years ago and it looks great still. We will most likely stick with paint and hopefully that won't ever be on our to do list.

depends what 1/3 the price is. I got quoted 7K to paint my whole coach top to bottom. Can you get it wrapped for 2K?
