As we quietly consider a new 177/8, again becoming a 3 camper household, we have discussed that they are "OK" at best. I suspect a very early mod will be a trip to Auto Trim Specialties, to get new ones made in colors like our 2011 177 had. Wink

I could happily live with all of them but I so love our green. If I did have the gray one, I'd have to add some color to those rings because it looks so anemic. And I'd want a different color truck to pull it with (I'm thinking blue...). Luckily the trucks we have both look great with our green 179...since I know my guy isn't parting with his truck any time soon, and I'm sure not replacing mine. So there we are Smile Overall though I think FR has done a pretty good job with color selection over the years (except for the excessively brown interiors, but that's another topic).

I did like the 09 version of the white with the rings BUT our rings started peeling so we had to replace several under warranty and even after that we had to replace some at our cost.

We have a blue and grey 180. I love the color, though the first rPods I liked were the green ones.

I actually purchased (ordered) a green 2017. I was contacted by the dealer that they were releasing the 2017.5 changes, to blue. We were disappointed, especially without seeing it. they had the forest river rep contact me by phone, and he shared photo's, as well as telling us we got free upgrades of power tongue jack, longer sewer hose storage, 24 inch t.v., king antennae, and one or two more things, so I fell in love with the blue model  lol. I actually like it the best now, maybe i'm biased.
