Hi: Kags1969... Which is worse a bit to big... or a bit to small? Either way with a bumper pull you lose at least 3 feet on each for the tongue!!! Alf

Never 100% believe anything you read on the WWW. Contact the source. Seriously, ETI should answer this question for you, not us.

Normally you will have a sales person who handles your contacts with the factory, they should be your first contact with these type of questions. Switching models may impact delivery dates though...

I actually asked this same question after we made our deposit.
At that time there was no problem switching to a different size trailer and it did not impact your position on the wait list.
The only thing you couldn't do was switch from a trailer to a 5.0 and still maintain your position. You could switch but you go to the bottom of the list.

Ditto. I was uncertain between 19 and 21 (and C and NE), and I was told no problem changing until it was time to start selecting features and options.

We put our deposit in for a 5.0 August 2021. After visiting the showroom this past August, we asked and were told that it would be no problem to change to a different trailer - so we switched from the 5.0 to a 21C. Because of that change, our completion date went from July 23, 2023 to May 11, 2023 - which is perfect for us (not dealing with snow to bring back to Calgary...driving with a trailer in the Rocky Mtns is not fun...LOL).

Yes, they allow it, up until the point you sign your build sheet. Keep in mind changing they size of the trailer, might impact your construction date. For example the wait time for a 5.0 is twice as long as for a bumper pull trailer.
