Subsequent years the factory purposely made the door smaller to allow for this. Now it appears they went back to full coverage?
The bathroom door has a 1/2" gap both top & bottom.

Thanks! Perhaps I should have bought yours when it was available.
If you find your way back to Gunter Hill in March, we will be there!

Looks like it's about time for a fresh post to this thread.

We've finally made it to that special week where we get to watch our new trailer take shape.
If the supply chain holds out the completion date will be Nov. 6.
ETI did tell us that they still don't have the oven, furnace, and heat strip so delays could be possible.
In the meantime we'll have some nice build pictures to enjoy.

19 trailer arrival to Denver

We are expecting the deliver of our new 19’ on Monday! This being 2020, nothing is smooth sailing or driving and towing. Tomorrow we will have snow all day and bottoming temperatures. On Monday it will be below 20 all day and snowing. We are not especially looking forward to picking up the trailer and heading to storage in that kind of weather, but it will be nice to have the trailer ‘home’. Wish us driving luck and safe streets.
It is hard to complain a lot about the snow as the firefighters desperately need it to slow the ballooning wildfires, one of which grew by >100K acres in 24 hours. The three biggest fires in Colorado’s history (recorded that is) have been this summer/fall.

Hi: outwiththedogs... I'm surprised that Colorado has mismanaged their forests too. I'm glad your getting delivery of your 19'er even in the snow. Take care on the home stretch. Are you able to rinse the slush off before storage? Alf

fire

I failed to see much mismanagement??
We didn't arrange for more spring and summer rains?
We didn't rake all the forest floors to get up the last few pine needles?
The vast majority of the fires here, and in California are on Federal or BLM land but the states are left to fight them on their own? Fires have reached into Rocky Mountain Nation Park on the North and West sides.
Crews from Alaska and also from Mexico came into help, because our Hot Shot crews went to help them when they were in a similar situation.
It is some like mismanaging a hurricane.

Ha ha Alf,
Due to the Covid crisis it has been impossible to find volunteers to sweep and vacuum the forests! As we know a clean and tidy forest is important. Those darn pine beetles make such a mess with the dead trees too. Today it has been snowing so here’s hoping that slows the fires. It certainly slowed our trailer delivery. We got a call this morning that the interstate is closed in Wyoming and the driver is stuck there til it opens. Things will start warming up tomorrow and with luck it will be warm enough to wash off the slush and slop from the delivery trip.

Think about that poor bugger, sitting in a snowbank, making no money. Not a job I'd want.

What a difference a week makes.

Still a few finishing touches to complete as well as waiting for the oven and furnace to arrive.

Congratulations 🎉 The trailer looks great!

My 21C went into production this week. I received an email explaining the supply chain delays, too. Have you heard any news on the situation?

Fingers crossed that we both receive our trailers sooner rather than later.
