We picked up our new 2021 179 yesterday. We ordered it 4 months ago. The dealer predicted November delivery so we've been on edge for a month. Rumors of the 179 being discontinued with all other wet bath models were most discouraging. We sold our 2012 Aliner expedition in August so we've been without a camper.
We were pleasantly surprised that a 6 cubic foot fridge was included. My wife loves to cook so the larger fridge in a small footprint is welcome despite the loss of storage. We are struggling with finding places for all the stuff we carried in the Aliner. I heavily modified/replaced the Aliner cabinetry to meet our needs. The 179 cabinetry comes closer to meeting our needs as well as better fit and finish. A number of drawers will get new boxes to make use of wasted space. The tall cupboards will get shelves. The awful mattress will be replaced.
Now to learn how to manage gray & black water tanks and E2 wds/sway :)
