Just replied to you on the FR forum.  I'll repeat the answer here. 
The digital controls have been on all models for 
years, and the dial controls right on the A/C were only used in the first model 
year (2009). 

What I didn't add on the other forum, is if those really are 2015 models it is possible the dealer is ordering them w/o A/C from FR, then is installing old used A/Cs into his models to save a buck, or old but new stock (therefore cheaper).  I would be very suspicious of the dealer.  2015s come with digital thermostats, period.

	I am wondering if anyone can help me out. I am close to purchasing a new r-pod. Every unit on their lot has a standard slide dial for the furnace and the a/c is controlled by dials on the a/c itself. Every picture i have seen on the web site and every other r-pod I have seen for sale has the dometic digital thermostat and a different looking air conditioner (that i don't believe has controls on the a/c itself). The dealer tells me this is how they come from the factory and the controls are on the A/C itself because it is not ducted. I realize it wouldn't be ducted but I am still confused why the setup looks different than every other new unit i have seen. I am just trying to make sure I am not getting an inferior setup. They claim Forest River's web site must just not be updated but i am looking at the new brochure with new colors. In all my research I have never seen any mention of different options for the cooling system. Help?
