Saw my first 179 today

We stopped look in one and were really impressed with the extra room and the rear kitchen. Will post some interior pictures once ours comes in.

I loved my RP 177 (2010). Recently bought an RP 179, have only camped in it for three days so far. For me, much better use of interior space without too  much more towing weight. Additional  usable interior space; with a 100+ lb dawg, and a kitty cat;  this comes in handy. Unfortunately, it is back at the dealer because the linoleum is not flat and this needs to be addressed.  Yes, the switch for the exterior dome light could be closer to the entry, other than this, the design and extra space in the kitchen area is great. There is less exterior storage, and only one side access, but this is offset by hanging/closet space and drawers. better tv location etc.  I still find that the Dometic A/C is noisy, but it does work very efficiently.  In the Florida heat, this is a plus.
