Would we do ourselves and the coach a disservice to paint the wood in the coach a different color (off white or other lighter color)? Does this decrease the resale value? I appreciate comments on this aspect of owning a used coach. Thank you.

if you get the coach out in the open and let the sun shine in, the cabinets will lighten a bit. We have the walnut interior and it has lightened enough that you can see a line of dark wood under the doors when you open them.
For sure, you do not want to paint the cabinets. The walnut wood was an expensive option in our coach ($2900) and to paint it would seriously devalue the coach. Go look and see how many coaches you can find with whit cabinets. I would not buy your coach if the cabinets were painted, and I don't think anyone wanting a CC would either.
