Ordered a new Columbus

Signed the order yesterday for a new Columbus 320RSC with the Compass package.

This is our third Forest River RV...purchased one in January 2012, the current one in February 2013, and now the new Compass - our first 5th wheel - yesterday.

Apparently, Pete's plan with F.R.O.G. is working....

We traded the Windjammer, but if anyone is interested in a great TT, I think the dealer would let us sell it so that he wouldn't have another used one on his lot...he has a pretty good used inventory.

We have a 2014 Rockwood Windjammer 3008W (front kitchen model) with a lot of up-grades. PM me if interested.

Congrats. We ordered our 320RS January 29 and it is scheduled to go into production this Friday. Hoping to get it early April. Hope you can get yours as quickly. I heard it takes 6-8 weeks to hit the line after order and it will be exactly 6 weeks for us.

Columbus

Congrats Mike,
We picked up our 2016 Columbus 340Rk in December. We had a 2015 Columbus 320RL and loved it. We took quite a few trips and never had any real issues. I just dewinterized the new 340 and will take our 1st short trip next week. We went with the 340 because the floor plan is a bit more open with the kitchen in the rear.
I hope you have the same enjoyment that we did with our 320. It's a great unit.

Thank you, vinr. We are really excited about getting it. Love our Windjammer, but want the additional room of a 5th wheel.

Mike we ordered Jan 29th as I mentioned and got our VIN yesterday. It will be built as a 2017 not a 2016. Guess you look at the 10 digit of your VIN with the Columbus and if it is an "A" then it is a 2010, "B" is a 2011 and so on. Ours is "H" which would be 2017.

Also found out that the last 4 digits will give you how many have been made. They started with 101 for the first. Our last 4 is 6618 and is being built as I type this (should be done tomorrow).

Just some info I found interesting and thought I would pass along.
