Unlike cars there is NO such thing as a 2017 RPOD. Especially not a 2017.5. As proof look at a car brochure. It boldly displays the year. Look at the RPOD brochure. Nope there is no year mentioned. Now look at the invoice. Nope there is no model year. Since most states require a year for Title, the model year is the year in which it was built. RPODS are built every few months alternating with Surveyors at the same plant. The change from green to blue/blue to blue/grey occurred during the year so that there can be two 2016s or 2017s that are different. I believe it was Couch Nation that started using 2016.5 and 2017.5 to indicate there were changes but this is not officially used by Forest River. So if you plan on buying a new RPOD, if you order one to be manufactured and not buy off the lot, it can be different (probably a good thing). As soon as we saw the change to blue/grey we called the dealer and made sure that was what we were going to get. While we ordered ours last September (before the change to grey) it was not built until February after the change.
