Lets start our own group. How?
We just downsized from a 32 foot Commander after downsizing from a 40 foot Empress Elite (loved it) but they were too big for our need right now. The Wonder is small but it is going to be great for local weekend camping. No more going south for the winter.

We just ordered a Wonder RL, AWD.
Look for a larger, multi-location dealer because they are more likely to discount a bit, and have more chassis on order that can slot in your specifics and get an earlier delivery (still a long wait tho!) Van City and Holland are a couple of examples.
Some say no discount at all. Most say in the $3-5k range. We found one who responded to my online build and order submission with a $10k discount, so I used that to obtain my final pricing with another location, same dealer. I think that's rare.
Dealer is telling us 4-5 mos. When I called the factory after we ordered it, the factory said 7-9 mos. The dealer says they can slot it in earlier to existing chassis order and do better than the factory is saying. Guess I'll find out who is closer to telling the truth.
5 years ago we had an Airstream Interstate Class B on MB Sprinter chassis. It was good, but dealing with MB is a pain in the neck as far as getting any kind of work done. I got sick of looking for diesel, no bio diesel, dealing with DEF sensors and the works. I'm looking forward to the Ford chassis w/ plain old gas.
Leisure has its own forum [Mod Edit] but participation isn't near what the irv2 gets, so I'd be interested in a dedicated one on here if anyone has an idea how to start.

We ordered the Unity from Van City. they said a 10-12 month wait. That is less than other dealers who were saying 14-16 months.

If you’re in a cold climates, keep in mind that the Wonder and all other LTVs are not built as four-season motorhomes.

We got almost $10K off the factory invoice from FretzRV and a fair trade-in offer for our old Pleasure Way. We were lucky enough to find the Wonder RTB model with all the options we wanted on their showroom floor, so we didn’t have to order and wait for delivery. I don’t know if the fact that this was a showroom floor model made a difference in the discount we received, but I doubt it since most dealers don’t discount LTVs.

Congratulations on your new Wonder! You’ll love it, I’m sure!
I don’t know how to start an LTV forum here on irv2 either, but I suppose we can contact a forum admin?
I didn’t know about the [Mod Edit], but there are several very active groups on FaceBook. Search for LTV Enthusiasts. LTV Enthusiasts Help, etc.

The delivery estimates from the dealers mean very little. Apparently, LTV doesn’t provide a delivery estimate, until the order goes into production...

You can call into someone in Sales at HQ, give them them your order # and they can at least give you some perspective such as likely quarter that yours will enter production
Thus ... my dealer said 4-5 mos; LTV said 7-9.

Congratulations! That’s a rare find...
You may want to joint the various LTV Enthusiasts groups on Facebook. They’re very active and have answers to many issues we may encounter with our LTVs.
