For starters, leave the fan in the "low" and "on" position, so it doesn't cycle on with the compressor.  Also read through the thread below for a list of things I did to quiet mine down (some).

This is my first travel trailer and just getting my feet wet. I haven't seen a 2015 so I really can't help you in that department. I will say however that I am happy with everything except the A/C. Living in Florida, sleeping with the A/C on is basically impossible. Are all TT A/C units this noisy? Is there anything that can be done? Any experience in repairs or upgrades would be greatly appreciated.

I saw one briefly.  An outside shower is now standard.  The tires are less aggressive.  Still off-road, but not the mud tire as the previous versions; more street oriented.  I think the hitch lock is a bit different also.

JCastro, how do you like your EcoDiesel?  Today I ordered a 2016 RAM 1500 Ecodiesel 4x4 crew cab long bed with the 4-corner air suspension & tow package.  Should get it in 2 months.  I've heard some fantastic MPG numbers when towing with the Ecodiesel.  Looking forward to downgrading from my Silverado 2500 HD diesel.

How do you like your truck? I have been really considering the Ram Eco diesel. I have heard unreal numbers while towing some around 22 MPG. Do you see the same? I have the same 179 but towing with a 1996 K1500 and see around 12 MPG
