The taller size of the older windshield is a bit of a concern to me since these windshields are huge anyway when it comes to replacement costs. Don't get me wrong, I like the panoramic look of these styles of windshields vs. the "cave look" of a Class C, just something to consider. We did have the star burst hit epoxy repaired in West Yellowstone before we headed south..... Make an informed choice and get out on the road while you can!

You're right on the big windshield. I have had both and there is absolutely no difference from inside the coach. The larger one was a huge mistake for no reason. I costs something like $3000 to replace and it is so difficult to install that it is hard to find someone who will do it. I am much more comfortable with the smaller windshield and I think it actually looks better. That would be a big negative on buying a 2015 over a new one. Not as much of an issue in Florida because the insurance company has to replace it with no deductable, but not true in all states. And I know if I have to have it done, my rates are going to go up.
