Our 2015 171 did not come with a sewer hose, but our dealer gave us a Rhino hose with a gift bag full of goodies. 
In the bag along with the Rhino was a drinking water hose, toilet chemicals, toilet paper, fly swatter, camping checklist, coffee cups with their logo on them. 
We thought that was very nice of them and from what we've heard allot of dealers don't give you any extras.

Mekkelsens's in Vermont  will give the first time buyers a similar gift bag and if you have previously bought from them, they give you a fifty dollar gift certificate.

The best perk is a full walk-through so they can show you how all of the systems work.

yup our first hose and a few other trinkets and do-dads were in a welcome kit from our dealer.  mostly cheap stuff that needed replacing within a few trips but was good to get us going out the door.

Doug is right! and make sure you have them demonstrate everything from the faucets to the stove burners, frig on all setting. check your lug nuts ,furnace, a/c heater. bring a camera take pictures of any dings or damage and e-mail them to the warranty rep from your dealership so that they are on notice and your can show that they were aware. They will also take you  to out and work with you to put on your r-dome and repackaging it. Could take a couple hours but very well worth it.

Yes..but mine was a 10' with only a connecter for the outlet dump value. other end was bare. I like a 90 on mine to input dump station hole.

Ok, good to know, thanks so much for the feedback. I have time constraints (San Antonio to Iowa and back) and have to be back to work on Monday so I, unfortunately, will probably have to settle for the quickie walk through.
