RV manufacturers will change models mid year a lot more often that auto manufacturers. I think it is because the tooling is a lot easier to change for RV's than for cars and trucks.

I almost bought the cream colored 179 today only to find out from a dealer they are left over from 2014 but came out in the beginning of 2015. The green color which does have some up grades is being referred to as a mid 2015. Bought the Green 179 today!

any thoughts?  

If the model of R-Pod allows one outlet they have one if not they will have two.  It is based on the floorplan.  Although as noted above the 2 different factories will sometimes do things differently, such as the black tank flush and which side it is on.

And just for information purposes, the new current color scheme ran for a few months before the outdoor showers started running on the Pods.

I bought a 2015 model 178 and it dark green and has the outside shower. One thing that I noticed was that mine has the black h2o rinse out on the port (left) side. I like this since all other hookups are located on the same side. Also my TV bat wing is located on the roof above the slide out.

The catalog says that the exterior luxury package comes with an outdoor shower. I just want to make sure that what the dealer is saying is on the up and up.

We have a 2015 179 that does not have the outside shower. Ours also has the early color scheme
