Dutch,
Thanks for the post. With the severe weather and cold this winter the plants in Elkhart actually closed down which delayed delivery to dealers across the country. Once they opened back up, weather in the midwest, south and west delayed deliveries even further. When the weather gets bad, drivers become every cautious when and where they go, understandably not wanting to venture into an area hit with ice and snow pulling a trailer or fifth wheel they are responsible for getting to a dealer on one peice. It was a "perfect storm".
It effected most all manufacturers and most dealers. Believe me, most dealers want to know when the inventory they bought gets delivered so they can keep customers happy.
Hope this helps.
