another delay

just got told unit wont be here now until the end of may.Ordered on march 15 ,should got one that was in stock
  • I would pick it up my self but they said I coundnt. big event to go to in the first week of june sites payed for 500 already with no refund. Its a big flee market up here in Ontario at burls creek.
  • Wait it out it will be worth it. Whats a couple weeks?
  • When we ordered a previous trailer they said 8 weeks...it took 10. The delay was that they were having trouble finding drivers to make the deliveries..
    It sat finished at the factory for 3 weeks waiting.

    Overall it was worth it. We got just what we wanted.
  • In MOST cases this kind of "delay" is caused by the dealer giving you a scripted answer to "how long" rather than getting specific information from the factory. If he told you the STANDARD answer and then got a different date from the manufacturer later on, it may seem to you that they're doing something to delay production instead of just giving you the wrong answer. I wouldn't be concerned at this point as it seems pretty standard for VERY early production runs for the model year. Probably the busiest time of year for most manufacturers.
    Good luck / Skip
  • Ten weeks to get a trailer that is built with your options is not unduly long. I know though that by the time you have figured out what you want, and have ordered it, that you want it now. The waiting seems unbearable. That being said, when we ordered our new fifth wheel last fall they told us 8 to 10 weeks. But the good news was we got it in 7 weeks. So it could happen; keep your fingers crossed.
