Anticipation is making me crazy

For posting photos from iPhone/iPad I upload them to my free Flickr account first, then post the link to that.

A little convoluted extracting the actual jpg file name from the link, but works fairly easily and quickly once you get it down.

We got our 21BHS just over a year ago from Sunny Island. Only a couple flaws - a wheel was badly marred and was replaced. The quick-connect on the outdoor faucet was reluctant, but it turns out that's a common issue with an easy fix each time.

After getting it home, found out the AIR/CABLE switch was wired backwards, and there was an issue with common and ground being "bonded". Later, one of the doors on the pass-through storage began to bind heavily and was replaced under warranty.

Only unresolved issue is a crack in the slideout window that was reported within the warranty period that we need to follow up on with our local dealer, Southland RV.

That's all that's coming to mind right now, though you might want to search out my rather lengthy thread on our delivery process from March, 2014.

Thanks for the info. Have reviewed most of the threads pertaining to delivery, problems and mods. We'll see how it goes next month.

Looks very nice, I'm sure you will be happy with it once you get it.

Beautiful trailer. Congratulations and many years of delightful camping.

Set back after set back. Went from it's ready to be picked up on 13 May and delivery to the dealer to we are waiting for some trim pieces and it has to go back to paint. Then it's we are moving it to the new plant on the 20th for some additional repair work. Completed on the 28th and still sitting on their lot. Within 2 weeks of a major road trip to pick this up and it's still not at SIRV. Gonna keep after them this week to get it moved so SIRV has time to go through it before we get there. Too many plans to change now?

This is something similar to what I went through, with delays at the factory. Then it sat at the factory after it was completed, due to a lack of drivers available to take it to the dealer.

I called my salesman often, and when he couldn't come to the phone, I talked to anybody who would listen. It was past the delivery date. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to try it out before cold weather setting in would require winterizing the unit. This is what I made sure that everyone at Sunny Island knew.

I talked to the dealer about going to the factory myself to drive it to the dealer for servicing, as some others on this board have done. The problem with this idea was that this was my first RV, and would be my first time towing anything. The possibility of something going wrong with me towing was too great.

Finally, at the end of October, after placing my order at the end of July, Sunny Island sent a truck and two employees to get my Camplite. And that was when I was able to take delivery, at the end of October.

So, this was my story. Hope it helps.

Thinking any other people with orders gone awry would be posting like wildfire here. [/p][p]
[/p][p]Hey, Shovelhead, hear this? Shortage of drivers maybe...and you could camp in it before Bob does!

I have an ace up my sleeve if I need it but am going to push them as hard as I have too just to get it moved this week. My brother has a F350 diesel and lives 20 miles from LL. May have him go get it this Friday and deliver it to SIRV on Saturday. LL can just pay him what they pay their drivers.

I think the dealer pays the drivers to deliver, and then pass that on to you. Did you see a delivery charge on your bill? I had a delivery charge on mine. So, if ypur brother delivers, you could just work it out with him.

Shawn at LL just informed me our camper is scheduled to ship today. The pessimist in me says scheduled does not mean shipped but the optimist in me says to trust people. Guess I will see if I get the call from SIRV on Monday telling me the camper is there. Anyway 1 week from Monday is D-day. Can't wait to get it to Yellowstone and camp for 7 days. Tired of being cooped up inside.

Hope your camper goes out soon.

My experience with dealing directly with LivinLite, however, has not been good.  I made an order over the phone for an awning and was assured that it was in stock and that it would get shipped out right away.  After two weeks- nothing.  Contacted LL by email and was told that the awning was in stock and they were "hoping" to get it out "soon" and would "try" to let me know when it would arrive.  A later email shifted blame to the supplier- ignoring the fact that I was told over the phone AND by email that it was in stock.  I love my camper, but my impression of LL's customer service has dropped in a big way.  I told them to just cancel the order.

Just confirmed our new camper is on the dealers lot now and going into prep. Ton of bricks off my shoulders now. Not looking forward to the long drive to get it but will have fun on the way back. Pics starting Monday.

Congratulations, ammobob! You should have your camper in time for your trip!
