I am, but not a big deal given the changes at ETI. Although not specifically stated pics would happen in sales paperwork, we were advised by Kim in person at Chilliwack that they send weekly pics during the build.
Tammy, who I spoke with Saturday, isn't a new person.
Not worth taking to court.

Charlie, Nice fabric, and nice counter tops. I know so, because Lindy told me they look great!
And I understand the comment about "long overdue" was probably hyperbole. I totally agree with Glenn about giving the ETI folks a lot of slack when it comes to photos. I remember when we ordered our first trailer , we were so surprised to receive build photos every week. Such a treat! Now we wait anxiously every Friday afternoon, just to see what has changed. But I can't imagine any other manufacturer doing this.

I agree it's an above and beyond for ETI to do the pics, but it is a valuable sales method when you think marketing. Wifey loves the pretty part, my appreciation is for the construction details I can garner from other build pics of the same model - for which I thank the forum members who post their pics. Makes future mod planning far easier!

Buuild pics end up on forums like these. That helps sell trailers. Looking at build pics was a huge factor in helping us choose Escape. Its not just because they are customer oriented at ETI (they are ) -- it's good business.

I got two presents on Friday - the first round of pictures from Casper II's hatching and my new logo super-imposed on a finished 21. One month and counting! 8)

We are so excited to see the first pictures of our 5.0 TA. It seems like a lot has been done in three days! We already have a license plate for her. We had no problem at our local Court House, though they admitted it was a new situation for them.

Looks good already and you may be some of the few who can actually get ahold of a license plate in advance.

Looks like ETI has expanded their production outside under temporary covers, a sign of demand exceeding capacity, perhaps another move will take place.

Skylark build week 3
The counter tops are in. The stereo is in. We decided to install the Stereo above the night stand, and go with 2 24" doors on that wall rather than the standard 3 doors. I am not sure how wide the standard doors are. But that way we can have the HDMI output near where the TV will be. We leave to pick it up in less than a month. The original scheduled completion date was 24 Sept. But got a note from ETI yesterday that it will be done the first week of Sept. Unfortunately we have some commitments and can't earlier....

We visited ETI last Saturday and got the complete tour. Tammy and Reace were great! We saw this trailer and many others in build. This one looks great! We were really impressed with their moving production line technique.

IMHO the dark trim on the edge of the Formica looks SOOOO much better.

Good for you, Ian. I am sure that your Escape will have all of your character put into it as you have done with your Boler.
