2018 Hummingbird model changes

Hello.
I understand that the 2018 Hummingbird's have a few changes. Lighter colors in the interior and a rear window in a couple of the models. Does anyone know the details of the changes for 2018?
Thanks in advance!

We just bought the 2018 17RK...lighter inside colours.
Window at the back (in our version with the rear kitchen)
LED lights inside and out (although at present our exterior ones aren't working).
brought it home today and have a few things that we are not totally happy about
1. didn't come with the thingy for raising and lowering the stabilizer jacks (not electric)
2. some of the interior panelling is already loose
3. the cover for the black water drain flew off during the drive home (was secure when we left)
4. exterior LED lights don't work (click the button and they flicker but there seems to be a short in the system or a loose wire that we can't seem to figure out
5. the spigot for one of the drains snapped off somewhere and somehow and we have no idea where or how so lost 1/3 tank of water.
Hopefully they will fix these quickly for us

Do your outside LED lights have a remote?

Hi, I have a 2017 Hummingbird RK, and we also had problems with our outside LED lights. If you turn your outside lights off with the remote, when you flip the switch inside the trailer to turn them on, they blink once and turn back off.

In our case, our remote had died, so our lights were useless. I solved the problem by removing the control that the remote works with and wiring it directly. We now only have white lights instead of all the bells and whistles available with the remote, but that's all we used anyhow.

The 2018s are also coming with Furrion camera prep. The Window in the back of the RK models that they added for 2018 was surprisingly a fan-favorite on the RPods.

What's interesting is that I spoke with the factory about the rear window when we ordered our RK and they told me that they let a few out of the factory with the rear window and then discontinued due to sealing problems with a flat piece of glass in a curved surface

Just picked up a 2018 17RK last week. Ours has under mounted covered cooktop and sink. Others on the lot didn't. Sales person said it was a mid year change. Outside graphics and interior colors are a little different too
