Enjoy that "new" 179.  I still am working full time but get to use our 177 about 30 days/year.  Have been doing that since we purchased it in January 2011.  By the way, did you actually purchase a 1917 model or is it a lot newer model year?

It is the latest and greatest. Has about 9 new upgrades over the 2017. Mine is the 1/2 year Blue addition. Roll off the assembly line in late February and bought it the 4th of March. Doing a lot of looking for info from experienced RV campers.

Be prepared to give tours!  We have been doing that for 6 years now.  More often than not curiosity seekers want a "peek" inside.  Nine upgrades, wow!  Our 2011 probably looks pretty basic compared to what you are getting.  Since we normally boondock we even special ordered ours so it doesn't have a/c, microwave/convection oven or entertainment system.  Even after 6 years we are happy with our decision, the pod is a great little camper!

I know the blue 2017 come with the Thule awning, but what are the other upgrades?

15" tires
A few more exterior lights
Propane connection for a grill
Sink is flush with the counter with insert cover & stainless steel
Awning which you mentioned
I think the stove cover is new also
There may be a few more. I think there were 9 in all.
