TT promised date realistic?

Just was curious if the people that ordered trailers actually got them when promised or if it took longer and how much longer?

Over about a week mainly because had to wait for the transport company to pick it up & deliver it. That was last year...... I am hearing that there is a large backlog of RVs just sitting waiting to get to the dealers at most of the manufacturers because there are not enough transport drivers...... They pay something like $1.50 per mile (but they only get paid one way) Fuel costs are eating up any profit for these people..........

Anyway I personally would allow at least two weeks more than they tell you now is the busiest season...........

Almost 6 weeks....

Haven't forgotten about ya. Just need to find a time that works to get together. You make it into the cities much? Otherwise, I'm headed up 61 on Sunday morning on the way to WI but have no idea what time yet (I know it is Easter and all).

Ordered our Sabre in late Feb 2012. Dealer said 6-8 weeks. It was at the dealer 7 weeks to the day we placed order. Keep in mind it's not just building the camper. As Oaklevel said it's transporting it to the dealer that could add some time.

Thanks for the replies. We ordered ours March 9th and they said it would be ready the last week of April. I asked them if it was realistic and they said yes, but you never know...
