Curious, where would the changes from 2017 to 2018 be posted or would you need to contact a dealer? Wondering if they made some tweaks on those items you highlighted.
I suspect any changes between '17 and '18 models are cosmetic - interior colours but more notably the use of white skirting & trim on the exterior rather than the traditional dark brown / black. Personally I'd rather see manufacturers put more effort into improvements that actually matter, such as proper tank support or upgrading the tires to Goodyear Endurance such as Jayco is now doing, and not just window dressing that they believe will increase sales. In any case, I'll be tossing a cover on mine on Sat so I'll try to remember to ask about any differences.
OK, if you find out please let me know. And I completely agree about making changes that will improve safety and reliability vs adding some pretty colours.
BTW... looked over your many pictures and you have some serious skills! If I end up with one of these I may resort to bribery to get some assistance ;)
From what I can tell the nose cap was changed in 2018 and they added LED lights to it. As for the fresh tank, there is a "C" channel brace that is bolted to the frame under it and over the now enclosed under belly. I don't know if it's the same on the 2017, they didn't show the underbelly, and the video I mentioned was changes from 2016 to 2017.
