It's not deterrring me from buying the 179. But I haven't been able to sell the 171, and I got a bad trade in offer

Not trying to be glib, but a low trade in offer is a trade in offer none the less.  Depends on how long you want to wait.  One way of thinking about it is that this is a recreational activity, not a money making activity, and the sooner one can move on , the better.

I like the separate tanks. We fill about 10 gallons per day gray water with showers (15 when DW washes her long hair). Much less black water. With a 5 gallon bucket it's easy to empty every day or two @ camp wash station and the bucket stays [relatively] clean. I'm thinking my bucket might get a bit nasty from black tank nasties if the tank outlets were combined.

My 181g from Goshen is one outlet.  Must be a difference from being made at the Dallas plant then.  Both do things a bit differently at times.

When we sold our 171 I advertised for a asking price just over trade in value and it sold in two weeks. I didn't mind the low price because we found our Vibe for a very low price. The 171 models have always been popular I don't think you will have to much trouble selling it. Was at a RV show yesterday and looked at the 179's for the first time. They do have a lot of storage and I liked the rear kitchen just haven't been able to accept having a trailer with a slide. That's just me personally I know slides are popular the majority of campers have them now.

regarding the original post ..... we bought a 2014 R.178 at a Feb/14 RV show and took delivery of a 2015 model in May. Not sure when the model change happened. Was built in Indiana.

Last camper was double outlet. Current 171 has single outlet. I like the single outlet better,but it is a personal preference.
