I would like to thank you all, we have done some research and contacted several dealers.We Initially wanted HR Vacationer XE 32A, unfortunately we haven't found any unit that would be readily available in the configuration we wanted (especially with dual-glazing) and thanks to you guys we got good support from the recommended dealer even thought we probably will not be able to make a business with them.So we widened our search and finally arrived to Winnebago Sightseer 35G which i just yesterday sent configuration request for to Camping World, but here is the question as we are going with factory order and were promised delivery in mid March, is this realistic ? And should i try to contact other Winnebago dealers for competitive order ?And last thing what do you think about our choice, we decided purely on layout and Winnebago reputation.The unit we ordered is on 22k chassis with 26k GCWR and 22k GVWR we will toad Wrangler 2door Shara. Any comments are welcome

The timeline given you sounds very unreasonable, as busy as the RV industry has been, unless they just happen to have your exact coach on order with all the options you request for stock. Sounds like a case of the old adage describing a car, boat or RV salesman, "If his lips are moving, he's lying." I'm not a big of of Lazy Days in Florida. They are the "Biggest RV Dealer in the World" ask their internet sales department, how long it would take to get the RV you want. Biggest suggestion I can give you is check their service record before and after the sale. A good place to start is RV Service Reviews

Ask for confirmation of the final delivered price, and there are no laws demanding you pay ANY added fee's other than taxes and registration. Some will add on thousands for transportation. Dealer prep, documentation and even your pre delivery inspection. All of these are just ways of concealing the real price of your unit.Taxes and registration should be paid to the state where you will be basing it, not necessary at the state where you buy it. I would also make your offer contingent upon the unit being road ready at the time of your arrival.

You're getting a new, built to order class A and they promised it in 6 weeks? Does that seem right to you? Obviously not, because you've asked the question. I would certainly get a second quote. If I remember correctly, you'll be in hotels in the US until you get in your coach and start your adventure, yes? Think about the cost of an extra month in a hotel waiting for delivery.Also, with a new coach, you'll need to stick around the dealer's area for a while to get things fixed that the factory leaves for the dealer to do. Think about trying to schedule that into Camping World in April and May when everyone else is pulling out their campers for the season.IMHO, you'll be doing well if you get on the road by the summer.

six weeks delivered? not ever going to happen. sales people talk a lot. and then can,t deliver.

more I think about this, find a very good used rv, it,ll have the bugs worked out, be ready to roll. and a whole lot less money. and find a local rv tech to check it over. there faster , better service than a dealer and come to you.

We ordered our Miramar 35.3 actually one year ago today (February 16th, 2017). They had quit taking orders for 2017s and we had to order a 2018. They said it would be 12-15 weeks. We picked up the motorhome the first week in June of 2018.

I would look at Winnebago dealers just out side of the Winabago Factory. They may have better inside on delivery dates and you can get better service then Camping World. Like your choice of Unit.

In my opinion , Unless the dealer has s coach already ordered , about to go to production and can modify it to meet your order , No.
most RV manufactures are making the last of he 18’s now and preparing to switch to the 19s and many shut down to do this.
Yes never go with just one bid esp if your using camping world. In any case you should get 4 -5 bids on any “new” order that will take a week minimum .. your timeline ( for a new order) doesn’t seem reasonable ... finding one on the lot that fits your specs .. maybe.
