Well...Tomorrow is pick up day.  I am excited, so is my lovely wife Karen. We've done this travel trailer thing before and our biggest concern is for Bessie the basset. Hates to ride in a car. Wimpers the whole time.   Four years ago with our Casita, we had to sedate her everytime we left.  I am hoping....no, praying, that age has mellowed her a bit. 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

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.

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.
Joe. Karen and Of course Bessie the bassett

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.
