Any idea what delivery time is roughly after a RV has been released from the factory? My dealer said it may be 5 weeks due to the rough winter. Just curious if that's what I should expect.
We were in Elkhart last week and there were several stories on the news about the shortage of delivery drivers causing long delivery times. So I guess unless you can pick it up yourself you will have to be patient.
Must not be a good payin' gig . . .
Saw a story a few days ago that RVIA is working to get an exception on the CDL requirement.With fuel prices what they are it is not. Also their are a lot of restrictions such as you cannot open the unit so you have to sleep in your vehicle and since you are a commercial vehicle you have to have commercial insurance CDL etc.

Maybe your dealer would be willing to work something out with Great Lakes RV in Elkhart so you could pick it up from them. They're only a couple of miles away from the factory.We too are waiting for delivery. We were told 2 weeks ago, 2 weeks! We have trips booked, just sold our old unit and now have nothing. Is picking up ourselves a real option??
You can certainly call and ask about it, but they don't do deliveries at the factory. Your dealer will have to inspect the unit prior to delivery and then they will show you how to work everything in the new trailer. At least that's the way it's supposed to work. Be sure to do a good inspection and look for any issues that you want taken care of at the dealer's lot before taking delivery.
"but due to delivery backlog will not be shipped for at least two more weeks."
My new 3260EL goes on line 4/29 and comes off 5/1. I ordered from CW Nashville and they seem to think that due to their volume that they may get it within a week. May be dreaming but hope it gets in so we can take it to the TN chapter rally.
