E 23 build

Getting very excited about upcoming Chilliwack trip to view the new 23 build. I am not sure about delivery date but looking forward to seeing it on the first of next month.

Well we're excited to see your photos also.

After viewing the development trailer it'll be great to see an actual production one.

Looking good! I see you have the same flooring we do ~ it’s a nice color.

Post more pictures.

I guess one question that we'll never get from you is "what paint should I use on my rusty frame?"

Keep those photos coming.

The aluminum frame was a big selling point. Bought my first aluminum snowmobile trailer (10 year old used) 25 years ago and still on the road.

We were offered an early completion date (December), but passed on it because we were also told that all 23s delivered in 2023 would be listed as 2023 models.

Our agreed upon date is now January 4, 2024 and it will be a 2024 model.

I hadn't thought about the model year. I assumed they were all first builds were going to be 24 model year with deliveries starting well after September. Being selected in first draw I could have my build in first or go back into the draw pool. I've been waiting too long to go back into the pool.

It seemed odd to me. Our 2022 21C was delivered in late November of 2021 but was clearly listed as a 2022 model. Virtually all auto makers as well as recreational vehicles have historically released new model years during the last few months of the prior year.

On balance, I doubt that it will significantly affect resale value as there are so many other factors that come into play that are both unpredictable and not particularly logical.

Unlike cars, It doesn't seem like camper model year hurts sales much these days. That walkaround looks nice.
