Depending on how set you are on wanting a specific floor model, when new comes in and old goes out, you can sometimes get a better deal on the one going out.   If you have to order (versus buying what is on the lot) then it is a different story.

Thanks for the input. I talked to the dealer today and he did state there would be an increase....not sure of the amount. Something about the awning and a power jack(didn't know there was going to be a elelctric jack) They have 4 180s in stock and we are ok with the green/tan. Wife likes the awning but its not a deal breaker for her. Looks like we just need to decide if we are going to buy now or just hold off till next year.
 I have a big sports car event to attend at the end of October but I can just use my old pop up if needed....My 7 year love affair with rpods is getting the best of me :)

Stevef thanks for posting. Looks like the awning is a $8oo list price option. Really the glass covered stove top was the only other thing that stood out as different. (Besides the obvious color changes)
We are going to drive to Hamilton Ohio  Saturday to look at 180 pods.

Thanks for posting the price list!  I sold my current camper so I have the flexibility now of jumping quick for the old model or waiting until spring on the new.  Pretty torn.

Really prefer the green color and likely better price on outgoing model.
Love the glass stove cover and window in the door of current model.

Getting the r-dome either way so awning is a non-issue.  Any rumors of any other changes in the new production?  *****NEVER MIND...found rpod spotters excellent summary of changes

One thing I have noticed, is that the new awning is not available on the 18' models (171, 172, 177). I was torn between a 177 and 179, but I want the awning. It looks like a 179 will be the choice. We have an awning similar to the Rdome for our T@b, but don't use it because it is too much of a pain to set up and can't be used if it's windy.

Just so you know, you don't want that awning out if it's windy either.. and I have seen plenty of domes, including ours, handle +35mph winds, when properly erected and staked.
