Losing the essential closet and cupboard storage space in the 179 in order to have a bigger bathroom that only gets used a few times a day!? Terrible idea. 

If you want a dry bath and a rear kitchen FR already makes two versions, the 195 and 196. Leave the 179 as is, within its footprint its perfect already.

I'd rather have the current look of the 172 than the more boxy squared off design.  As you said, there are lots of those already on the marker. I wish they would use pocket doors for the bathrooms.

Ghosthawk, 
Could you send me details on your folding ottoman? Our table came out as soon as we got home after picking it up.  We've been using a folding oversize TV tray we picked up at Walmart. But being able to put your feet up sounds good.  Thanks

Just give it up and buy a 189!

I do have to agree, it was the sofa facing the tv instead of yet another dinette that swung us.

And it is a mighy comfortable sofa at that.

Just the right place to sit down with a cup of coffee and watch the wife make breakfast.

Table went out of ours as soon as we were home.

Replacing it is a folding ottoman, that gives us storage when we need it, takes up less floor space than the table, gives you a padded top to put feet up and relax. And will also serve as a table at need.

I'd love a reverse floor plan of the 179 - kitchen and door up front, bed in back. Why?  Because the back of the campground lot is usually quieter.  And the door would swing the right way to be out of the outdoor food prep area (I have a thing about doors swinging the right way.)  While at it, add more windows.

Couch was what sold us on the 189, that and the dry bath where one person can be on the toilet and the other taking a shower.

Ours should arrive this week, been a long wait.

our wishes too on the 179.  instead of a wrap around seating area, we need a couch (not bench seats) like the 189.  also a dry bath.

I saw a knockoff 179 this weekend but can't remember the make but it had switched the drawers under the sink with the cabinets to the right.  the top portion of the center was a smaller cabinet and the bottom was the heater!  It wasn't underneath the bed.  Where the old cabinet was is a three drawer with wider and deeper drawers.  Just long enough to open without hitting the slide.  Only problem was there was no immediate access to the plumbing under the sink.
