I did find a Ray Davies bobblehead hidden under the sink in our 195, so that's good advice.

We have a blue 179 2017 since new and really like it. Had some problems with the rear window seal but have finally resolved it. Replaced all the track molding and have had the top resealed last year as preventative. I also like some of the features with the 195/196 but would wait a year or two to let the kinks be worked out with a new model, if you can.

I'll put a post in the Mods area of the site that will include a link to a video of what the factory did to reinforce my floor and also a link to an Instagram post of me using a stud finder to inspect the floor supports.

WE love our 195 as well. Just the right amount of room, and we have the solar and outside stove options. Highly recommended. Just don't hit any trees or run anything over 12 Amps on the 110V outlets if you do get the solar-equipped model with an inverter LOL.

Might I suggest the 195, or 196 model. I had a 172, and also needed a little more room. We love our 195, and have plenty of room. We can even keep our clam inside whenever it's not set up, and it's not in the way. Your tow vehicle will handle these models pretty well.

3+ years with my 2017 179 and still enjoy it very much (love the floor plan, storage and space). Stephen (above) mentioned some of the major issues. I would add the lack of floor support under the kitchen. You may never have this issue as mine showed up after 200+ nights in the trailer when I was working extensively from it and cooking regularly inside. I had this reinforced at the factory under warranty. All the best!
