waiting....waiting...waiting......

so, we are beginning our 5th week of our "4-6 weeks" until our new camper is built and delivered to the dealer.....

this waiting is treacherous!! especially when we've been having unseasonably warm weather here in southern Indiana.....

we have emptied out all of our belongings (and given it a super cleaning)from our Flagstaff HW27KS highwall camper, so.....now I just lurk on the forums and try to not be so impatient......lol

....hmph.....

We pick up our new isata on the 18th.
We have to take our truck and fifth on a 15 hour road trip to the dealer.
Hopefully the roads will be better than today!!

I know the feeling, we are in our 3rd week of what they are saying is going to be 10 to 12 weeks for ours to be built and delivered, only good thing about waiting is here in Minnesota though yesterday we were close to 70 degrees, t. storms, hail and tornadoes, it snowed a little last night and cold and windy today, back to the upper 20's for highs by the end of the week so gives me plenty of time to get our pop up cleaned and little repairs done so we can sell it............ oh and still need a bigger truck

good lick with your new camper, and happy camping

No more Dodge and Sabre? Thought you would buy a Triple E Leisure Travel Van?

I pick my new Rockwood Ultra-lite 2304DS on 3/15 which I ordered 1/11 and they said it would take about 8 weeks. Pretty close! I'm looking forward to the trip and the Inspection. Dealer is in NE Indiana so I have a bit of a drive next week.

I know the feeling, I literally wore out the brochure waiting . Patience, every day is one day closer to getting the call saying it's at the dealer.

Waited 8 weeks this time last year. Ordering is only way I'd do it. Too many variables for an 'on the lot' unit, IMHO.

They want your money, it'll get there. Besides, I don't think winter is over. You'd just have to winterize it!! LOL

Start saving your money. The next 18 months will be an Amazon Frenzy.

Waiting too

I know what you mean. We are three weeks into our 6 to 8 week expected wait. We can't camp around here yet but we would not have to travel too far south. I am sort of worried about all the trouble with quality issues in the industry. The last new trailer I bought was in 1996 and I had no issues with it.

Update: camper is scheduled to come off line at factory around the 22nd, so will be the weekend after that (at least) until we can get there for our first walk thru of it...
guess I need to use the wait time to get our taxes done...lol.

The waiting time is getting shorter....FINALLY.....
We Set up Our walk-thru for Thursday!!!!

(After no hits on selling our pup for the past 8 weeks, I re-posted it yesterday afternoon, and someone wants to come and look at it this evening!)

We had decided we would settle for what dealer was offering for trade....fingers crossed...
