Escape numbers

This thread is more fun than a county fair'

Ask ETI indeed! What fun is that? The forum problem solvers will figure it out.

Do something, even if it's wrong!

So have the numbers now rolled over twice? My 5.0 last three digits are 177 picked up April 23, 2019.

Hi: arniesea... My 2014 5.0TA last three are 891. ETI told me it was #2 built of that model. Picked it up in time for the Osoyoos rally in May that year!!! Alf

That's right - my comparison was between about one per day immediately before the big expansion, to about two per day after the expansion was complete. There was a lot of development of the company between the initial pace of one trailer at a time and the production line of a decade later.

No, they ran up to 999 and rolled over just once, then they changed to the new scheme of restarting from 001 each year (regardless of what number was reached in the previous year, so that's not rolling over). That would be #177 of the 2019 production... roughly, because numbers are assigned in blocks and not necessarily built in exactly that order.

This sounds consistent. My last three are 186. It’s a 5.0 built in June 2019.

[davidmurphy02]

The last three of our 2019 5.0TA are 027. It was built in Dec. 2018, not sure when they changed over to labeling new trailers as the 2019 model year but looks like it was in that month.

[PaulandJanet]

The last 3 digits of our 2018 21' are 155. It was completed late April 2018 or about 15 weeks into the year which is also consistent with the production rate of 2 per day.

[Donna D.]

The last three digits of Ten Forward is 898 completed June 2014.

When we picked up our Casita in 2014, we were told Casita produced 14 trailers a week, 3 each day and 2 on Friday.

Ah! Now I understand.

Interesting. But that is per trailer. My 5.0 in 2019 took about 6 weeks to build. It actually was completed a little early because they reshuffled production after the fire destroyed the liner building.

In this discussion we are really talking production throughput not actual trailer build times.

Likely since they started 2019 prices Dec 1, 2018. (I got my deposit and order in on Nov. 30. I ordered every option to lock in 2018 prices, then removed items as my build sheet progressed.)

Our 2019 21 was completed Sept. 6 and the last 3 digits are 355.

Is anyone going to do a spreadsheet sometime? Not me, not my skill set.

Just to throw a wrench in this whole thread, my 2009 17B was completed in July, 2008.

[Ron in BC]

I don't think that throws a wrench into the mix. If there was enough data collected it would show that yours was manufactured in 2008 regardless of the delivery date.
