The stone has been there for the last few years. We just got ours this past March in stone. Wilmington? Where do you live? We're 4 hours away just east of Charlotte.

Unfortunately FR is going with new fabric. For our model we had to pick one from the new selection due to it still being built. This is what our dealer sent us from three models they have on their lot with the new fabric color choices:

We decided on the desert. Wanted the seagrass though. Really looking forward to getting ours in about 5 weeks still.

When we purchased our 177 back in January 2011 one of the first mods I did was to re-do the steps as the first step out the door was 11 inches and the second to the ground was 5,"  By taking it off and re-configuring the way it attached to the bracket I was able to make it 8" on both steps, much easier for entering and exiting.  And yes, we never did get the  4" adapter to make the pod sit higher.  If I ever do that then I will do as you did and purchase a double step setup.

Just looking a Couch's RV Nation website to see what changed in the 2018 models.  The only things I could visibly see were the aluminum DOUBLE steps and the change to the Furrion bluetooth stereo with a separately mounted speaker switch on the RPOD wall.  

No issues....just observing.  I did just buy a set of double steps as our single step is more like a jump.
