Hi all. Seriously considering buying a new 182g. Dealer has a green 2017 and a blue 2018 with awning. Difference in price he'll do is about $2,500 less on the green one. I'm having a tough time weighing whether the upgrades to the blue one are worth $2,500. What do you all think?

The blue one is newer. The green one can't have an awning.

I think it's just preference, I have a 2017 179 and the differences compared to the 2018 are minor, plus I really don't like the blue or the awning, I like the Rdome.

As near as I can recall, the early 2017 (green) still had the regular stove top while the late 2017 (blue) has the glass covered stove which is flush with the counter when not in use. We thougth that was a nice feature and might be worth considering.
Food for thought... K&S

The glass cover gets in the way when you actually try to use the stove. Don't really like it. A simple removable cover made of wood, or almost anything would be better.

The blue one also gives you the larger sewer hose container, larger tv, a shower surround and 15" wheels and tires. If Nice features, it would be a personal preference if it is worth the extra $.
