    When do the 2018's come out?

    We are seasonal campers and love the 297RSTS and don't want to buy it and a month later the newest one comes out with newer features we would rather wait.

    The RV world is not like the automotive world. Year is not indicative of the changes to the rig. The 2018's will start showing up sometime in April, with the significant changes all happening mid-year at the dealer's show in September.

    I agree with Mike. We absolutely love our 2017 model, and sure hope nothing comes out that makes me wish I had those options, lol. I wouldn't want to wait and miss using it sooner, but I don't know your situation. There will always be a new year model coming up. Good luck!

    Yep. Anything ordered from end of this month going forward will be a 2018.

    No planned changes for the year change.

    All I know is the "2017" we purchased was not the same "2017" we had seen during our "what are we going to buy" research.

    I was told the one's being produced from now until September will be listed as 2018, but still using 2017 features, floorplans, etc....it's not until September at the trade show the new upgrades, features, will be released and will also be produced as 2018 models.

    I'm not positive that that's true, but someone in the industry for 40 years told me that's how it works for most manufacturers.

    That's pretty much how it works.

    I heard that the units currently being manufactured are being labelled as 2018 and have the following changes: window blinds changed from black to beige, tires changed to G rating, extra awning added to dinette slide on Solitude 310GK

    The OP was primarily interested in 297RSTS changes for the upcoming model year. I also have one. Th changes you mention must be for other models. I see that you did mention the Solitude for the awning. We do not currently have black blinds, and I don't think "G" rated tires would be put on the 297RSTS. I bring this up just so the OP realizes this.

    We factory ordered our 328 in early March 2016 as a current year model on the current year price sheet. It showed up at the dealer's in early May 2016 as a 2017 model. Little was changed.

    Colorado road tax schedule is based on the model year and MSRP so I get to pay the maximum tax two years in a row.
