Hello!! I am buying a R-POD 171 this weekend and can't decide between the 2018 and 2019. There is a $1500 price difference and the 2018 comes with a R-DOME so the 2018 definitely a better deal. Any major differences I should know about?

Yes. They want $13,500 for the 2018 (plus R-Dome) and $15,000 for the 2019,

My vote the 2018, not enough difference, lot of mods for 1500.

Pods aren't like cars. They have title years. These two could have been made within 6 months of each other and one has a newer title year.

Greetings 
I would opt for the 2018.  Forget the R-dome most folks find it a pain in the butt.   Good luck and safe travels.

I completely disagree with the comment about the r-dome. I looooooove the r-dome. It's like having a second trailer for free. Them that don't like the r-dome, probably never used the r-dome.

The point is a 1500 dollar difference in a 1 year Pod model, having the dome is a plus. If not liked it's worth 300 maybe, that's a 1800 difference.
