I go out to Ocotillo Wells. Dirt roads, understand the tires and lift will be well worth it. Also understand these trailers are not really off road ready. Typical rv construction. 

Pricing examples help. HRE a must. So far used prices people are asking not much less than new. I understand supply and demand. Limited inventory on dealer lots drives up selling price during buying season. $14,500 is what I will offer a local dealer for a 177 based on Cap-N-Crays experience. All very helpful.

Couches has great pricing, but WAY too far away. I did discover that the Hood River Edition adds $543.75 to the retail cost. It includes diamond plate wheel wells and front, 15" tires, lift kit. With this and Couches pricing, and everyones help I am well informed to make an offer. Used or new I will report in when I have a deal. Leaning towards ordering a 171 with no tv ofr sure. I would like the prewiring but no crappy dvd player like they supply. The crwon package for the lousy entertainmnet center, speakers, adds $$870! Wow. The 19" TV I think another $350 and poor quality IMHO.

Crown Package no longer exists. 
Most is now standard. Push button lock and gooseneck faucet are no longer.   
I just got my 2015 build sheet, picking it up on Tuesday.

Congratulation Boomer. Have a safe trip to Post Falls.

I just got back from a trip to Nashville. Over 6K on the pod. Performed beautifully. Say Hi to Lydia.

Best price I could negotiate on a 2014 171 is $15,000 and I have to drive 425 miles one way to get it. Nobody close by comes close to Couches pricing. I will keep looking for used. I saw a used 171 private party asking the same price as new ones.

I found a barely used 2014 178 with Rdome for $14,500. Again,  not close by, have to drive 4 hours but with all I have seen out there seems to be a  decent and fair price. Less than a year old. Looks totally current, has all options except the green led / solar port. I like the 178 layout the best, just adds a bit of weight.

We got our brand new 2014 177 in the Hood River edition for $14,990 from Blue Dog RV in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. And since it came new from Blue Dog, they give you a lifetime warranty on virtually everything in the Pod. The only catch is you have to have an annual maintenance check done on the RV by a professional but not necessarily them. For me, that's very cheap insurance.
