Transport refused trailer from factory?

I could see a driver refusing a damaged trailer so his/her insurance does not get stuck with the damage. If that is the case.

When I purchased a new trailer it was supposed to be delivered in 4 to 6 weeks. Well the factory made some changes (for the better) and it took additional time.

Keep in mind these RV mfgs build these in model runs. Your Salem is built on the same production line as other brands and they build in production runs when they have enough demand for a model. If this is the case like Midnightsadie said you can call for a build date.

This is basically what he said - that the drivers don't want to accept it when damaged because if they take it, its their problem at that point.

I ordered the trailer in February, and we were told at that time it was 8-10 weeks (knowing about the build runs). Sounds like it should have been/was built in April - but I'm a little concerned its taking longer to actually deliver. Sounds like something might be wrong.

I think I'll take everyone's advice and see if I can't locate a rep from the company itself to get some answers. I've told the dealer I have a trip planned for the 7th of May (when in reality its the 12th). They have said they will figure it out, and I should have it by the 5th. I said this was not ideal since I'm going to need time to actually pack it! Guess we will see. I've got a week of cushion built in, just thought this thing would have been in my driveway last week. Seems like someone dropped the ball and nobody noticed until I started calling asking for it - now they are scrambling.

I'll post back!
