Arcadia 3660RL - 2021 vs 2022

New to the forum and looking to pickup an Arcadia. I see a couple great deals on 2021 models, about a $10k savings over a 2022 model. Given the 2021 was the first year out of the gate, does anyone know what they changed in 2022?

I see some small stuff from photos/brochures.
- Rear Ladder added in 2022
- Different wet bay controls in 2022 (looks upgraded)
- Added 200w solar panel

I don't see many other changes, but I'm guessing they changes a few things based on feedback from 2021 manufacturing. Anyone know of anything else?

Thank you for your help!

Curious?
What are you towing that 13500lb GVWR with a 3000lb+/- pin weight & 36.5' long 5er with? At minimum it will require a 1 ton SRW!

But the Keystone website says it's a 3/4 ton model. Never mind that the GVWR is 13,500 and has a 105 gallon fresh water tank. We always travel light (maybe 35 pounds of clothes and food) and we never tow with any water in the tank. Besides, it's only 4' longer than the half ton model...

Since the website says it's a 3/4 ton model, we thought it would be OK with a heavy duty half ton with a towing package.... It'll work OK, won't it ???

I was at Florida state RVShow Tampa this year looking at the Arcadia and questioning the sale guy about pin weight . His answer to to my question is there for the new trucks That would be 20 model trucks with the new specs for Chevy . Maybe a work truck .

Yup, just because Keystone has been let's say less than transparent about towing their "1/2 towable line" with the "average/typical" 1/2 ton going dowb the road, that's doesn't mean the same applies to the "3/4 ton towable " line right?

Stick that advertising in the same file with "The Titanic is unsinkable", "New Coke is better than old Coke", "Pays for itself by ...", etc.

Sorry this didn't answer your question, just created more questions!
As for the difference in the 2 RVs, I don't have experience with either model, but highly doubt there's a nickels worth of build quality between them. I'd suspect the differences would be cosmetic, one likely has more, or less, make up on than the other.
The towing requirement would be the same with either.

OP I highly doubt anything of consequence has changed, same trailer, different time and different world as we progress through our current socioeconomic situation. My trailer is the same as the 2022 model but the new one is 15k more than I paid. I attribute that to the red hot sales of RVs along with the other contributors - none of which are better built trailers or more amenities.
