Thanks for putting into perspective. We did finally hear that our trailer has been OK'd for pickup at the factory. I have made plans with the dealer to pick up on Oct. 2nd. He feels confident that he will have it there by then (he's contracted his own transport company, so he has a little more control over delivery). All tolled - 14 weeks from when order was placed, so you are right-on-the-money. We are going to make a weekend of camping/fishing in Colorado when we pick it up - then it'll be home to winterize until next spring. At least we'll get to spend a few nights in our new rig. Can't wait.

We got word last week ours should come off the line in 2-3 weeks and then ship. We hope maybe to get it by the 3rd week in Oct.

Talked to my dealer about an appointment to get my a/c fixed/replaced and they gave me a November 5th appointment. Said the trailer manufacturers were having trouble getting parts to even build trailers. Service manager said they were having trouble getting a/c replacements and didn’t know how long it would take.

We placed our order for a Geo Pro G19FD in December 2020 and were told it would likely be 3 or 4 months before it is delivered. I'm reading that a few folks say 5 months is common during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anyone have recent Rockwood experience to compare? How many months for you?

Placed order on July 2nd.. 2020... picked up from dealer on October 10th

Ordered 2614bs 8/11/20 received by dealer in Florida 1/3/21 so about 4.5 months.

[Ex-tenter]

Just ordered a 2608bs on 1/25. Dealer said I should see it end of March or early April. Really eager to burn the old tent....

Ordered a 2021 Rockwood 2511s in mid Feb 2021. Dealer says they checked and no info from the factory. I'm hoping for a May delivery, but not confident. I don't even have a VIN yet.

Ordered a Mini-Lite 2506s at the end of February. At the time I was told most likely May, but got an update last week which stated probably June. Much of the glue(s) used in trailer making apparently come from Texas, and the big freeze caused a slowdown at some of the factories.

I ordered a Mini-Lite 2506s as well but in late January. Still haven't received mine and being told might be end of April or early May. Originally was told mid March, so it seems like my dealership has no clue and keeps extending the date out. Hopefully it will arrive soon.

lots of parts delays due to COVID shortages... COVID shortages is part of the new vocabulary which started last spring... I ordered a normally IN-STOCK item last April 2020, and could not get it until mid-June 2020 because of COVID shortages...

Update: After finally wrapping my head around waiting until June for delivery I got a call from my dealer that my trailer is sitting on the lot, they're putting the solar up top and 6vs up front and I have an appointment for Friday to pick it up. Apparently someone who ordered my model in December backed out and I was next in line... tis a crazy life for sure.

Congrats on the great news Scottnweeze!

We ordered our 2509S in late February. I emailed the dealer for an update on Monday. They called me yesterday all excited and told me that our unit was slated for build the first week of July which would put us right at our 14 week build schedule... I immediately tell them, no, we were told May was the timeline. They say, "Oh yeah, you ordered in February. Let us call the rep back, they must have your unit confused with another order. We'll call you back".

I finally get a call from them today and am told that they're going to be able to make a mid May timeline. They talked to the rep and will be "stealing a unit from another dealer" that is provisioned the same way we wanted except that it was the white color option vs the tan we ordered.

I'm pretty sure they forgot to put our order in...

It would have been easy for them to say that any number of issues were causing a delay with our order: a factory burned down, foam supply issues, the superconductor shortage, etc. They didn't. They scrambled and are "stealing" a unit to make our timeline. I can only speculate that they forgot to put my order in until yesterday when I emailed them and then hoped they could pass off the July date.

Either way, I'm happy the dealer is making it right and that I didn't have to fight with them to get it done. Now we have a chance of being able to use it for our first reservation of the summer, but I'm not going to hold my breath...

@Scottnweeze & @Paerrin:
Any chance these experiences were with RVW? We're getting the same runaround... promised late April/early May, now June+ with no info? I would understand if we were given some specifics (or they actually reached out to Rockwood for an update). I must admit that your situations give us hope and I am fine with being the squeaky wheel.

Sorry, no. Mine is with a local dealer in Denver. They had told us the same thing, late April/early May but I never figure April would happen. My situation is outside of the normal Covid supply issues though I'm pretty sure. And even with them now telling me they can do May, I won't be surprised if I end up getting it in June.

Sorry. Also no. This is a dealer in Utah that so far has been off the charts to work with. My Geo Pro was purchased in Denver and that was also a great experience.

Hey there tbmslt, we're also buying from RVW and placed our order for a Geo Pro G19FD on 12/31/2020. It is finally rolling out of the Rockwood factory next week ~ 04/14/2021 and our salesman was able to get the VIN number. So that is four months of factory time, plus the dealer prep time and the shipping time to our address.

I expect to see it in my driveway by early May. That will be too late for Spring camping in the Southwest, but still a remarkable achievement considering the pandemic was in full blast during this build cycle.

Bonus: we will have both our vaccines on board when the rig arrives.

Aligns with what the Rockwood team told me today, 4 month minimum from order date. I hope you enjoy your new camper and safe travels!

Like you, I ordered my 2506 January 21st and was told probably mid April to mid May for delivery. Called last week and now the dealer is saying June. I guess it is what it is.
