New 2018 Solitude Features

[PWRSTROKE]

Wife and I have been shopping 2017/2018 Solitude models and recently placed an order for a 2018 Solitude 377MBS-R.
We've visited a number of dealers, spoke with GD factory/reps/dealers, and observed updated features.
In the past month, we have physically walked through units with a number of new features (updates/changes). Some updates occurred earlier in the year.

Hopefully this list helps potential new Solitude owners. GD has not released a revised feature list or specific model year updates. MSRP sheet provides some info.

New 2018 Solitude model features (mid year updates, likely in preparation for the Hershey RV show):
-Dexter 7K Axles (YAY! )
-G Rated WestLake tires (standard)
-Magnetic entry door holder
-2nd patio awning (slide) model change (no longer has side supports)
-Congoleum flooring in all areas including elevated living rooms and bedroom (no carpet)
-Furrion 3 burner gas cooktop (push button start, 7500 btu each)
-Furrion 2 cu ft gas oven (push button start, 9000 btu)
-LG solid countertop with cooktop cutout (no longer seamed pieces around range)
-Cream colored roller shades (night shades only)
-Theatre seating swivel trays mounted on each armrest
-MyRV OneControl (leveling)

Prior Solitude Features (believe 2017 updates)
-Island sink shifted to left (select models)
-Wash/Dryer location right of closet in nose
-Water tank capacity increase (F93/G100/W50)

Notes:
Equa-Flex suspension.
Carefree brand awnings (no metal wrap option).
Solitudes ship with white porcelain or clear glass bathroom sink bowls (not sure how to specify).
Coleman brand 15K air conditioners and heat pumps.
High Pointe 1.5 cu ft Convection Microwave (EC942k9E - Stainless).
No external microwave vent is installed by GD. Recirculate only.
High Pointe microwave is capable of vertical or horizontal exhaust with proper adapter and external vent installed.
Norcold Polarmax Refrigerator (AC/Propane-251 lbs) (2118SS).
Samsung 18 cu ft Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator (Residential-232 lbs) (RF18HFENB)
KING Jack TV antenna model does not include signal finder.
Onan generator adds significant weight.

I'm sure there are items I overlooked.
As I understand, Dexter axles are being implemented on many/all GD product lines.

Feel free to post newly observed 2018 Solitude features. Pls confirm. Dealer statements are not confirmation.

I am glad to see Dexter axles. I have them on four trailers here on the farm and no issues.

Now if they would only add the full body paint option like the Momentum line.
