Hoping for earlier completion date

How many of you have recently had your completion date moved up? When we put down our deposit we were told they might end up moving it up by 2-4 weeks. We are scheduled for Nov 28th and really hope it is earlier to avoid as much winter weather as possible.

If you've asked for it earlier, make sure that information gets on your build sheet. Otherwise they may not remember you want it earlier.

Mine moved up twice, for a total of 2 months, (picking up August 17th) although the original date was scheduled before the new factory opened. Unfortunately, I suspect they are getting more accurate on completion dates now that the new plant has been in operation.

My completion date also moved up twice for a total of a couple of months. I hoped for even earlier, but Tina at Escape told me, maybe two weeks ago, they're at the point they can only bump up completion dates when an earlier order is canceled. Still happy... October 11th, baby!

Bummer for us, I kind of thought that might be the issue. I did email them and told them we would be happier with an earlier completion date if it comes available.

I have always paid my full price early and emphasized that any cancellation would be acceptable for me to take that slot. My gestation periods for my 3 Escapes never exceeded more than 150 days for any of them from beginning to end. My build sheet had it in red, ASAP
