Lots of photos of the NEW 2017 21' Trailer
Hello everyone,
I was in Chilliwack on July 20th to sit in their display model 17-footer to make some decisions about various options.
Just the day before, they had placed a 2017-new-mold 21-footer out in the "display model" section, so I took some pics for y'all. I will be uploading 21 photos total to this thread.
These are just general photos since I don't follow the forum discussions about the larger trailer sizes and I'm not sure what the current questions or issues are. But you'll see the new black stove/range hood combo etc.
There were a bunch of 21s already in an advanced state of production, just beyond where visitors are allowed to go at ETI.

The storage cubbies right next to the entrance door are a great idea...

There is quite a feeling of spaciousness in this trailer...

Generous counter space; the black stove and range hood; faucet and sink combo.

Front a-frame with no storage box.
....and that is all I have. Like I said, I was really there to finalize my own build sheet for a 17-footer. I am definitely going with the new mold and not the Classic, but still up in the air about frameless versus old-style thermal windows.

A couple of changes I hadn't noticed before: A different range hood vent, and different interior lights.

What's the thing on the ceiling between the Maxx Fan and the east/west light fixture?

Jack antenna would be my guess.

The lights are smaller and thinner, I like them and they made me change my build back to the stock lights. I did not like the old style lights. I also notice only one light over the sink/stove, there were 2 in mine. But the window in the sink is huge, a lot bigger than the old style.

Isn't that the control panel for the roof-mounted TV antenna? (Oops, several other responses on page 2 beat me to it....)

YAY! Far fewer photos that I'll need to post when I go up there on Monday to take photos for myself and a bunch of measurements. 
I'll add photos of the insides of the cabinets along with measurements of everything that myself and others asked for in a previous thread I started awhile back.
I've been waiting and waiting for word from Sarah and on the 18th she said she'd let me know. Nope, had to email again on Friday to find out it's already on the lot.  I've really been wanting to see the new one as I need to order blinds and other stuff for the insides, but needed measurements before I do that.
I also find it interesting/annoying that others that ordered after us have been getting due dates moved up before ours as they've gotten emails from ETI about it, but we've never gotten anything. Guess we're on the poopy-person list.  The trailer was paid in full long time ago, so that's not the problem.
But, yay to the OP for getting their trailer finalized and seeing the new styles.

Thanks for all the photos, Clare! Great job! Among them, I didn't see a photo of the full rear end that included the full set of lights, so I've included one here that came from ETI. If anyone is curious about the five lights across the top, the center three are clearance lights. The ones on each top corner represent an additional set of taillights. With the second pair of high and highly visible brake lights on the top corners, they will no longer mount vertical brake light bars on the sides of the rear window. Or that's what I was told. Anyway, I'm happy to be getting that additional set of brake lights set up high.  (I have no idea why the photo decided to pull a 90 degree left turn! But you get the idea...)

If they have multiple production lines going simultaneously, a camper requiring a lot of custom modifications might slow its production line down while other pretty much stock campers catch up and cruise on past it on neighboring production lines, thus finishing sooner. Just guessing that might have something to do with it. Ask Sarah.

Maybe they ordered before but specified pick-up dates after yours or some other scenario? Were they all 21s? It's hard to say what is changing with their production dates without actually being the one who does the scheduling and knows what's what. I don't think you're being penalized!

ETI probably orders any custom items for a trailer at the last minute so they don't have to warehouse a lot of stuff. Trailers needing custom parts would be harder to pull forward on their production schedule.
