Howdy Taken and welcome!

I bought a 2015 XLR 415 AMP in August this year and have been putting it through the paces.

So far, I'm pleased with it. I'm testing out the "All Season" aspect by keeping it hooked up at a campground close to my house while I tweak and mod it and make it mine.

Looking good! I can't wait until I can post pictures of mine here.... Seems like a lifetime from now... This is my third ordered RV and you'd think I'd grow to be more patient. Not going to happen I guess...

It's not that I could even use it as we're in MA and covered in snow, ice, rain, and cold. Our season is done. It's just with all the research and planning leading up to the order and then no trailer for 10-12 weeks. Ugh. Anticlimactic... is right! LOL.

The XLR production plant is not a high volume plant. They only build 8 units a day in order to control their quality better than most. They do not have a time period where they push units out at faster rate. Yes they have some issues every know and then but they stand behind the product. Try being a second or third owner of another brand and asking for help on an issue. They will just laugh at you.

I hadn't heard this before--if it's true, that's good to know! How did you come across this nugget of info--factory tour?

Interesting and good to hear!! I got full body paint too so that adds time to production time... My 30C just got picked up today so now I'm really ready to fill that spot on my pad...

I agree. I'd love to bombard Bob with questions but I'm using every ounce of self control I have to contain myself. Don't want to scare him off ... LOL...
