Finally

Tomorrow we pick up our 24s full body paint. It was ordered on July7 and delivered today 2 months and two days. Can't wait to see how it looks.

Congratulations! May it bring you many happy memories but remember taking possession didn't happen unless you post pics!

We have owned our Solera 24W with full paint for four months now. We love the full paint even though it cost a lot. I would not do it differently now that we have it.

We ordered our Forester 24W on 7/3. We discovered it was coming offline 8/23. We have heard nothing from our dealer. To say we are annoyed is an understatement!

Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your 24S and have no major issues.

Did you order yours with full paint? If so this maybe the hold up as the units are sent to off site painter. Later RJD

Yes we order full body paint as well as the diesel generator.

We only have to travel from central PA to Ohio but it would be nice to have some sort of timeline. It's hard to juggle kids, dogs and work to be able to do a good PDI.

2 1/2 months is about the going time for production on one of these. Hope you have as good luck as we have had with ours. Congratulations.

Picked up our 24s on Thursday. And it was well worth the time we waited for the full body paint. It looks fantastic.and drives like a Cadillac. Love the way it turned out. We have spent the last 2 days getting it loaded.

Don't forget to do a complete Pre Delivery Inspection -- there are a couple of really good PDI checklists in the Forum files section.

Congratulations!!

No Decals - all the graphics are painted on. Really makes a rig pop!

An expensive, yet well worth it option, especially if you travel a lot in the Southwest.

Full body paint is worth the price. Read the enclosed brochure to discover how to maintain it. It needs to be waxed, but not too soon after it's painted. Don't use a plastic bristle brush to wash it, etc...
