VIP Deck option

Greetings,

I just purchased a 2015 340X12HP with the VIP Deck option. FR's web site shows this option "VIP Party Deck with Awning and (2) Zero Gravity Chairs", has anyone actually received these chairs? My dealer was unaware of them and is supposedly still researching the issue.

Thanks

I see it listed in the Intensity Package as included. Can you e-mail the brochure to them?The options are on the XLR Thunderbolt brochure on the link attached.

If you haven't taken delivery yet, hold the balance payment until he coughs up the two(as advertised)chairs.

I also saw these chairs with the XLR logo at the Hershey show, been meaning to email FR parts to see if I can order them directly..they're very cool, and my current Cabela's ZG chairs are about due for replacement... Anyone else purchased them directly from FR yet?

We have ours...they were in our Unit at the Hershey RV Show and were in the back when we brought it home. We took them out of the Rig...they take up too much room in the garage.

The dealer showed me the invoice for my unit and then a new invoice of the ones rolling out now, there is a few hundred dollar difference in the VIP deck option(s) which he said were the chairs.

On a good note, the FR rep was at the dealer the other day and I will have some chairs on the next shipment.

Chairs came in. They look nice and have the XLR Thunderbolt logo on the headrest.

You all do know that these are sold about everywhere sans XLR logo. A two second check of Amazon revealed these (and tons of other options):

I'm sure Wally World has them too.

Who would want one without the XLR logo? Then it's just like any other chair...

If it's on the deck of an XLR, no one will be looking at the chair...
