2018 model

Hello Everyone

I'm new to the forum and our family will soon order its first RV!
We stopped our choice on the Sunseeker MBS 2400S after renting a 2017 model last summer.

If I place my order now for a delivery in Spring next year, will I be receiving a 2018 model?

Thanks!

Hard to say, I'd bet the chassis is not.

Ask your dealer to find out about the build time frame and what you will receive specifically.

We ordered our 2400 W in January, expecting a 2016 to be delivered at the end of March. When it arrived at the dealership the 3rd week of March, the coach was a 2017, on a 2016 chassis. This was the first 2017 SunSeeker that the dealership had received.

New model year usually doesn't start till spring.
Different than the automobile industry.

Can I ask where you rented the Sunseeker?

Dealer is Cité Caravane in Quebec/Canada
Amazing service and great opportunity to try the exact floorplan before purchasing

Delivery typically takes 8 - 12 weeks. I wouldn't order until late January / early February so that it arrives just as the camping season is starting. It would drive me nuts to have a brand new camper just sitting there that I can't use. I feel sad every time I leave my house and see my winterized and covered camper just sitting there next to my house covered in snow.

Thanks. That would be a great place to start a trip. We found one in Salt Lake City (Forester 2401W) and will be renting for 10 days and going to Mesa Verde, Arches, Canyonland and Moab. Really looking forward to trying out the RV life style!

Thanks for the feedback Timfromma. That's exactly what I had in mind, waiting a bit to be sure to receive a 2018 model

I was talking to one of the owner and he said they had over 100 motorhomes for rent in 2016!!

If you want a 2018 model, you probably have to wait a year.
