I think it will be pretty small things, everything is kinda in a holding pattern waiting for the EPA to get done reviewing the 2015 regs. With the shutdown who knows how that'll go.  ::)
. I don't think changes have all been finalized so if there's something you'd like to see happen pm me and I'll send it in. Or email Heatmaster directly.

Full disclosure is some did have issues with the damper plate sticking from creosote buildup, several different versions of the airbox came out with the latest solving the issue. I have the previous release to the latest air box and that’s fixed mine. It’s run for almost three months now and zero sticking issues, to where before out of habit once a week I’d remove the damper plate and clean it which took at most 5 minutes.

They’ve also added stiffners around the cleanout door in the rear as a few units it would warp enough a tight seal couldn’t be achieved.

Lastly they’ve had several different versions of the lower door, the newest seems to have solved the issues the previous ones had.

Lastly I’m not aware of any difference between a USA and Canadian model.

They changed the sight glass design as well. But, as far as bones of the stove, I don't think that has changed.

Is that sight glass upgrade available for the 17's?  I haven't been able to see through mine after about the first 3 months of use.  Nothing seams to work as far as cleaning it.

At the moment you need to buy an updated lower door to get the new site glass. I installed one on mine and it works great. Contact your local dealer for a late 2018 door with site glass.

I've never sold one, it's not in the parts list in the dealer binder. My guess would be several hundred.
 Probably going to have to get your dealer to get a quote from the factory.
