Congratulations.

What kind of cover did you have installed on your fantastic fan?

Would you mind posting a picture or two of the new shower curtain rails? I would appreciate it.

Ray,
We just picked up our 180 two days age.  We were suppose to get a 2016 but the factory changed over to 17 sooner than usual.  No major difference.   The shower curtain now has a rail on top and on bottom where the hooks slide.  I consider that an improvement.  We had a cover installed over our fantastic fan.. I would recommend that.   Other than that,  i see no real difference.  We are soending a week or two outfitting our trailer, then we are off.
Good luck with your purchase.   I think you will enjoy it.

Congratulations.  Today, we were just looking at a 2016 RP-180 and think we're going to move forward.  The only thing that concerns me is that the dealer showed us a 2016 model and sad we'd bet getting a 2017 model.  I'm unsure of the differences, if any.

Nothing like a hound dog howlin for eight hours straight.  
I am telling her tomorrow... Howl or don't...but you are going.
Been a haul...will keep ya all posted on how we do with pick up.
God bless....
Joe


Good luck

We did a walk thru on a 180 the other day just to check it out. Great floor plan!

Understood but after 40 plus years in a tent she sure is loving the 180 bathroom.
