Does anyone have info about if the awning offered for the new 179 can be purchased for older 179's ? I believe it is made by Thule. Does anyone no of a box awning being offered that can be installed on the 179 like the forest river awning being used on the new 179? I found a source for an 10x8 Thule box awning for $400.00 but I would need a mounting kit to attach it to my 179.

My understanding is it cannot. The old model 179s did not have the exterior wall strength for the awning. New 179s have a bolstered wall.

Only if you are dissatisfied. Some folks want bigger, some newer, different model, etc. really up to you.

I am not dissatisfied with my 179. We love it. It's a 2015. We miss having a roll out awning. If I sell mine I would buy the new 2018 179.
