See my mods (link in signature). You can replace your sink and faucet for ones more to your liking. I did. Smile

+2 stephen, Excellent point about the window not being on a curve. That overhead shelf would be great

+1 Stephen, and in the 178s (and others) we could have storage over queen bed vice all of us making racks with limited heights:) Think how beneficial a row of cupboards could be. Not sure why the models (that do) other than a 179 even have a rear window.

No one is badgering you.  I just pointed out the obvious.  You are the one getting nasty.  Don't worry.  I won't hurt your feelings any  more.

Thinking about it, cabinets above the kitchen counter in the 179 (possible only if the back were squared off) would be nice. Another benefit would be that the window would be on a flat, not a curved surface, and thus less likely to leak.

The 179 and the 180 (probably the 189 and 190, not sure what they look like yet) have a much smaller rounded back end. Some call them the " big butts".  It's a tight radius that begins more than half way up the wall, versus the 171,172,176,177,178 having a continuous slope for almost the entire rear wall. (i believe, all of these have the same rear slope).

Some of us like what we have because they are not like all the others.  If you want to be like all the rest you have that option.  As pointed out they are all over the place.  You don't need permission from me or anyone else.  Get one.
