The wait is killing me......

Don't think he is counting NOT

@crackacoldie The date originally mentioned when we ordered it was 22nd May, on Wednesday they said the 'end of may' I am not sure how much notice they get of its arrival and how soon I can pick it up afterwards. They are having a 'yard sale' next weekend so I hope that does not get in the way ( i know you don't pick them up from the yard) HOPEFULLY I will hear today or early next week on a firm date......THEN the real sleepless nights begin.... I was hoping to do a shakedown next weekend but may need to wait till the long weekend ( not ideal) !!

@Janbo I know your pain. Ours was coming off the line last week, although not there yet. I asked did it get made waiting for a reply today. We already booked the long weekend as originally was supposed to be off the line 9th of May.

Reckon we need somebody on the next tour to plant a webcam and link it to this site?

Great idea!!

 

[davemc]

you think with everything done with a computer. You could logon and track your van like a parcel.

 

[Janbo]

I agree, I am sure at this stage the dealer would know where the van is at, when we did the final sign off, the order form had date ordered, 19th Feb, date requested 8th May - I assumed that was when it was being built

 

[davemc]

When we ordered we where told the 9th.. when we finalised was told 15th. Yesterday was the 22nd
Pickup is supposed to be the 3rd so they still have time.. We added a lot of options so I worry they missed some as well
Yes getting very itchy now.. We booked our first trip away Queens Birthday leaving the 6th of June.
If its at the factory then its what 40kms away from Factory to dealer. You think if made they want to clear it from yard.

@Janbo have you rang the dealer?

Yes next one on factory tour can you take a set of spy cams

 

[Janbo]

I emailed them on Wednesday they replied they will have it end of May....... I thought that if this was the case they would at least have a date by now given that its due next week.... may call them later today!!

 

[davemc]

I will call later today if no update as well. Although I do feel sorry for the dealers if Jayco push back production you think they send out a notice. Although I think our window above the sink now deleted on a 17.58 Starcraft. Our signed plans show one. You think I get a call to say they did that as well

 

[davemc]

Good news van there today picking up early next Thursday 29th. Options there, window over sink now gone. So a few sleeps to go

 

[Janbo]

Thats great news!!!

 

[Janbo]

Called the dealer, it is at the factory waiting for dispatch, said to call him on Wednesday if I don't hear from them before that

 

[davemc]

@Janbo that seems to have been our problem. Built on time just had to get picked up and moved with all the others coming out. Hope it is leaving soon.

 

[dagree]

I can sense the feeling of slight frustration turning back to full on excitement

 

[davemc]

@Janbo Did they say how long to turn around, ours arrived today and be ready for pickup Thursday arvo.
Hope it comes early next week and you can get it before Friday.. here's hoping.

 

[Janbo]

They said they would try to give me before the long weekend but they have vans coming in almost every day and only have 5 hand over slots left before the long weekend!!

 

[davemc]

All the show vans are being made so heaps coming off.
