Thanks David! I'm already thinking P235 Mud tires, maybe adding the lift blocks on top of the already lifted new axle.

We talked to another owner who saw the Latte in-person and they feared that color combination would show too much dirt. They said Latte looks much lighter than the brochure picture. We were there and saw their 179 in Seaglass and liked it better than the Slate, so we ordered ours with Seaglass.

oh wow!   When I looked at the 2016 179 a few days ago, it looked like the table was a little bit higher, but like you said, the thinner cushion would make it level.  I'll go here in an hour and check it out to make sure.

Oh yep!  Good eye.  I'm going to have to go mess around in them at the dealer again.  Which color scheme did you get?  I sort of like the new Latte scheme, but haven't seen it in person.

I found this on a 2017 search which really looks good, that back cushion should fit perfect in the remaining spot:

Those are good pics thanks! The 2016 seats that we saw didn't seem like they could slide under like that, in fact, they seemed solidly bolted to the floor. If the table in the lowered position is correct, then that looks like it will accept the back cushion and probably a thin extra cushion in the corner which would level the entire surface in to a larger sleep area. I sure hope the 17 has the design fine tuned.

Here are 2 different 2017 179s.  One of them appears to have the footstool things shoved up under the bench on both sides.  However, the other one looks"normal".   Has something changed from the 2016?
