I appreciate your help! I have one more question, if I may? I have seen pics of a 2018 North Point 387 RDFS showing the back splash to be a plastic/vinyl gray color. The pic that you posted if the North Point 377 appears to be
Tile, of some degree ?

That is the stove backsplash, the hutch/bathroom backsplash is the grey tile that I posted. All the stove backsplash are the same

I absolutely love the front window in the Montana. Now I'm mad that NorthPoint has it...and I can't get that model now.
I roll my eyes at the drawer slides I have now and upgrade you 2018's are going to get. The stuff we have now is from the 1970's

Anyone seen the new linoleum in person? I'm really not liking it in the pics I've seen. Why didn't they just keep with the wood look like the pinnacle did. Picking mine up on Monday and I'm really not happy with that floor. And I can't tell if the latte interior is a really light shiny fake leather look. Anyone know? I really liked the cottonwood from 17

I liked the cottonwood too. There are a few things I wish they hadn't changed but overall I think the 2018 has too many pros vs cons to not get the 2018.
I'm after a 375BHFS. I actually talked to a rep at the factory directly, it seemed to be the only way I could get any info. They aren't even sure what all is a full change or if things can be changed up. The rep is going to get back to me.
One thing I'm very happy about is the 2018 375 will come with two AC units standard, and a third in the rear bunk room as an option. And as mentioned before on this thread, the older style steps are available.
The other things I asked for was a reclining sofa, specifically the same as what came in the 2015 375 Eagle Premier, which was very comfortable. I wanted the matching recliners too. The sofa and recliners in the 2016-2017 north point are not nearly as comfortable, have very narrow arm rests and the sofa pulls out into a bed. I told him the largest Bunkhouse model they have hardly needs a pullout bed in the sitting room. A bit of comfort would be much higher on the list.
A 5500 or 6000 LP fueled onan generator with the smart controller, which can self start/stop when boondocking should the batteries get low or if the the temperature rises to high in the trailer and needs the AC. I plan to put a super sized solar system and a 6 bank lithium battery pack, so what was available for room for batteries in the generator compartment.
Last but certainly not least, I also asked if they would use bigger holding tanks (like from the seismic) or double up on what they already have on that model.
There were a few other little things but weren't too much of a big deal.
He said he would find out from his engineering department and try and track down the older furniture style as they may even have some replaceables in inventory.
All in all I'm very happy with the customer service. I hope the dealer is half as good.
Here's a picture of the Eagle Premier sofa (cottonwood trim).

Picture didn't come up.
Is there a setting I need to select to let me post pictures?
I was able to select a file and upload the picture, it just didn't show up?

We picked up our 2018 NP 381 DLQS 5- days ago. I was disappointed as well about the floor changing. I liked the wood plank look in the 17's too. But, now seeing it in person it's not that bad at all.
The Latte colored furniture is NOT shiny, it actually looks much better in person than in pixs. Looks like real leather too. Very comfortable as well (we got the theater seats which are great)
Disappointment was finding, which was not listed in deletions was that the small extra baggage storage compartment under the bathroom slide was deleted. Hubby was exciting about getting that for his tool storage but it is gone now.

Its nice to hear from someone who has already taken delivery. Thank you. You have made me feel a little better about the furniture and the floor. However I may be having hubby changing that floor it at some point. I just really like the wood look. We shall see. Do you have pics posted anywhere? I think we may do a video when we take delivery so others can see. I've so wished someone had done that.

We DID just make a video last night, I just need to figure out how to get it on here for others to see.
We very much appreciate the videos we've viewed on some other things so I know others would like to see this new unit.

New latte color and other changes
I have a 2018 381? In latte, which I was worried about. I have decided that I like it, it's sort a tan with gray undertone. I was very worried about it being a cream sort of color. IT grows on you. The silver backsplash is only in a little area in the bath so it is no big deal for us and looks fine, it's has a little glittering in it. IT will probably be fine on a hutch if your model has one but would be better if they put the same above the stove and hutch I would think. The flooring is a little light but I like it better than the wood grain. Overall cosmetic appearance is good. Love the new mission style doors. Hate that they changed the bed lights to a single switch, it's both or none. I like the bedroom closet door change only because we ordered a king bed and it makes it easier to get into the closet. Don't think my closet would work well with a washer and dryer because of the bed size. This is probably different on each model. Fireplace is better and doesn't have that cheesy face rock but has wood surround. Squared off valances and cabinet changes are more modern and I think an improvement. The two seater theater seats are now electric with heat and massage. My husband is not happy about the compartment changes. Don't have any other pictures because we got it tried it out and it went back to shop for warranty work but that's a whole other issue. I may or may not discuss until resolution of issues but I will say there was no quality control on my camper, factory or dealer and I shouldn't have to be dealing with warranty at all. Hope you all have better luck.

Did anyone notice the mid and rear leveler' now have adjustable feet. Like the front legs. You can lower the legs before you start leveling .

I sure hope not. It's bad enough having to set the pin in the front jacks! Most mid range fifth wheels have gone to complete hydraulic stroke on the leveling gear. The better ones are mounted outside the frame rails and point outwards at a slight angle for extra stability.
This was a much needed upgrade which I had really hoped Jayco would have incorporated on the 2018.

I think on the rear and mid levelers it just allows the feet (landing pad) to be removed not to adjust the height. I can verify this later today if you want me to. I haven't looked that hard at them yet.
