Travel,
The changes occurred mid way through 2014, around November or so. Units in production, likely even until just after the New Year were likely mixed on the changes.
The Mobiles now get the straight roof line and upgraded carpet as Soos mentioned. Which IMO is the biggest difference since everything else can be added after the fact or really a non issue. You can't just make your living room slides 9 or 12 inches taller or your ceiling but for 1.5k you can change out granite or replace the flooring etc.. For us the differences were not worth it. Had they kept the structural differences we would of probably went Elite for the extra head room.
Now the name won't say Elite outside so its still a mobile but if you don't care about the Epeen of that and want to save a few bucks you can do most of the other stuff after market or don't bother at all. Either way you can save some $$ if so inclined.
I'm sure they saved some $$ factory wise by making the change but they devalued their Elites in the process.
