100 watts solar? Its great they are offering this... but I can see them offering bigger setups in the future... they should just put 400 watts and be done with it.

BTW, congrats on your new purchase!

Hi Jim,

Out of curiosity, what MSRP did the dealer work off of the 2017's, or did they have 2018 pricing?

Hi there,
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I'm still trying to figure out the irv2 interface. They have the prices for the 18s. We did pay about 7k more than the average $ for the 17.

Do you mind telling us how much of a price difference between 18 vs. 17? Looking at the 36.1 2017 and getting close to making offer. Thanks and great post.

Based on this thread i put a deposit down on a 2018 36.3 that's coming in to MHSRV. The solar is what pushed me to hold out for the newer one.

I've been asking what the heck a bluetooth solar controller is - my sales guy said that was a misprint. We shall see.

Anyway, excited and waiting.

Well we pulled out of the 2018 Palazzo 33.3. :(

Decided to go for something a bit bigger with a bit more engine so we ended up with a Berkshire XL... we lost the over cab bunk but the rest of the unit is super nice.

All the best with the 18...still excited to hear about how much you love it!!!

[JBDALHB]

Congrats on the Berkshire decision! Did you buy from inventory or order? Post pics when you can - it's a good looking coach for sure. Safe travels.

Good Luck with your new 33.2! My 2014 is being traded after 38000.0 miles for the 2018 Venetian. Yes, I could of got a deal on in stock units but the 2018's are coming thru with changes that I prefer to wait for. Dealers have the information in advance of changes. Price change from 2017 to 2018 for the Venetian is 11K-13K on msrp.

Loved my Palazzo very much and it did have problems that were resolved. Thor corrected most of them and with the help of fellow Palazzo owners here helped me with the rest.

Looking forward to the upgrades that the Venetian is giving me for more adventures.

Good Luck and hope to see you at Goshen Rally in Oct.

Saw no mention of this...V-Ride from FCCC is already in the 2017.5's.

That's a great improvement
