Hi All,
We just put a deposit down for a new 19' - can't wait to officially join the club next year once we receive it. I've been lurking on this forum since earlier this year and have already enjoyed the wealth of knowledge and how helpful folks are here.
For those interested in current timing, we put a deposit down on Monday afternoon PT (8/31) and were looking for earliest available delivery. The earliest we were able to select on the website was May 2021. I had also emailed with Escape earlier in the day that morning and they indicated May slots were earliest available but going fast. I waited about 5 hours after receiving that email to place the deposit online through the website (which is their preferred method). We received an email receipt immediately acknowledging the deposit, but nothing about production date, etc. Today, Tuesday 9/1, we received our official welcome email from Escape mid-morning PT indicating a production completion date of June 4, 2021.
They weren't joking about May filling fast! I had read on this forum (or perhaps the FB group) that production slots for April were available as of a week or two ago. If you want something for summer 2021 I suggest you put a deposit down ASAP...
On build timing, the welcome email informed us that we will need to start our build sheet in early Feb. (4 months prior to completion) and someone from Escape will reach out to us then to work on customization and answer any questions. The build sheet must be final by early March (3 months prior to completion and that is when deposit becomes non-refundable).
Thought this info may be helpful for other newbies since I had some trouble finding it all in one place.
Looking forward to future travels soon!
Best,
Chandra
