   Just drove in from the dealership which is 20ish miles from the factory. 2016/179 that we are pretty excited about. After running a teardrop all over the PNW for the last 5 yrs it will be nice to be a "glamper"....

I hope you enjoy your 179. You have the latest features. Although mine is a 2016, it is lacking the undermount sink and the jack foot. I was told ours was 400 units too early to get those. However, I have added a foot and will soon change out the plastic sink Thumbs Down for a top mount stainless steel sink. Thumbs Up I will also changing out the faucet. I'll add information and pictures when that is done.

I don't see a TV antenna on top. Did yours not come with one or is it just the picture?

It looks nice. I'm sure you will be putting your own custom touches on it.

Yep the antennae is there just not seen in the photo. I went over it with a fine tooth comb on Monday when I got it home. We live about 45 miles from Dallas, Oregon where these are assembled. I bought the extended warranty (a rarity for me) so it will be interesting to see how that works out. These trailers are all over the road around here on the West Coast not a novelty like they are back East. Were pretty excited after draggin a teardrop for many years. My only quandary is where to take it first.....Utah National parks, Crater Lake, Yellowstone, Oregon coast, Sawtooth National Forest.....ah it is good to live in "the west"....
