Did you make extra room for that in your garage, or decide you could make it work?



As you know, I sold your 2019 DSDP and left land for a while. I'm getting ready to start my voyage from the Pacific coast of Mexico down Central America, through the canal, and up to the US East Coast. It will take me about 4 months leisurely to get up to VA. From there, who knows. If you want to see what I got, take a look at sv-always.com



Cheers, and safe travels,

Tim
The garage hasn't been upgraded yet. Waiting to see how tight the LA is before I determine the change.

I'll check out your web. The ocean sounds like a great improvement for travel.

Are your toilets bone or white? Mine called for bone, and I suspect that is the backorder.

In the 22 MADP, the Avalon interior package is the only one that calls for bone. All others call for white.

I have told my salesrep to inquire if white is available and can be substituted.

We have the Ibis interior so they must be white.

Latest update today is that my Bone toilets have been installed. The coach is now going thru the final QC before being released to shipment.


I am hoping that Newmar has been following some of my posts here, and is going to perform a very detailed QC


That being the case, I would expect shipping to take at least another week.

Good luck Red Baron, I brought my 21 LA into Freedom RV here in Tucson after 13,000 miles with warranty punch list with 59 items on it. Took it in November, still there...

When they use to do the live factory tours ... at the very end of the tour you came a spot where they always had several finished coaches sitting inside the building. Is that where the do the QC process?

Based on pictures, I doubt it. I think they have so many that they coaches are now out in the lot along Delaware and being QC'd there.

It's getting real! I heard from NIRVC yesterday and my coach is in transit to Texas. Should arrive at their dealership Monday.

I am scheduled for delivery the week after. Maybe I will get some pictures before hand.

Thanks RB73 for all the reports and guidance. Glad your coach is arriving. We got ours and are provisioning for a shakedown (if we can find a Florida park ).

All the best!

I heard from my NIRVC sales rep today. My coach is now in Lewisville, TX. They are going to be doing a thorough cleaning inside and outside. Once that is done they will be sending me pictures.

So far, I am very impressed with how NIRVC is handling the transaction. Communication has been excellent, and everyone I have talked with has been extremally knowledgeable.

I will be posting pictures as soon as I get them.
