Delivery was due on March 28th

**g&jhugo** · 03-23-2020, 02:40 PM

We have a 303 on order that was scheduled to come off the line on 3-27 with a delivery about a week to 10 days after that. Just got call from dealer and plant is shutting down Wednesday 3-25 until 4-12. Unfortunately ours won’t be done but will we even be able to use anyway. Good luck and just hang in there.

The same thing is happening here. It sucks. I had a couple of things that were supposed to be delivered to me too.

I can't be the only one in this position. We were due to take delivery of our Imagine 2500RL at the end of this week. The dealer says GD has not given any updates due to the pandemic and it's impact on businesses. Who else in this predicament as well? What has anyone heard?

Thanks

Joe

Could be worse. Have had ours since January and cant use it. Sucks making payments.

Same, although ours is still at the dealer lot until we can pick it up in May. At least the storage is free at our dealer but we have already started payments and can't even go sit in it out in the driveway or start mods I have planned for storage areas etc...

As for those saying what's the point we won't be able to use them, we will. This too shall pass and come summer at some point we will all be enjoying what time we can in our lovely Grand Design's.

I hope you are right, Jackwagon. Somehow I think this thing is with us for sometime, my usual glass half full attitude has changed to a glass half empty attitude. Provincial parks are closed and a friend informed me a private RV park he has used for over 10 years in June has refunded his deposit and will be closed for the year.

I’m not holding my breath for the factory to reopen on 4/12. If lives are spared, our RV can wait. Ours is (was) supposed to be in the build queue for April delivery. Pretty sure that’s not happening.

Our situation and thoughts exactly. Plus, as said above, better to be not-yet-built than to be sitting at home with me staring at it out my window. We'll spend our shelter in place time dreaming up mods.

It could be with us for quite a while, that's for sure. This "close the parks" thing, that really does make me scratch my head. Lots of people go to RV parks from cities, there's a TON more personal space/isolation in any RV park than there is in a condo building/apartment complex. RV parks aren't typically "downtown", they are typically way out of the "hot zone". And in the few nights I've spent in an RV park so far, I don't think, absent check in, I've EVER been within 6' of another person, let alone with any regularity. In short, if you have to be somewhere during this, and your choices are "city apartment" or "RV in any KOA anywhere USA", I'd think your chances of catching/spreading are FAR lower in the KOA. I'm also a bit baffled at the parks closing trails and other outdoor activities. Ugh, have you ever been hiking? I have, in fact, I went this weekend, and I can tell you, I was 99.9% of the time not even within SIGHT of another person, let alone in the 6' distance. It seems of all the activities you could do, RV'ing is, at worst, "slightly more risky than staying at home" (for someone like me, I'm sure it is, I can't even see my neighbors from my house and have land in every direction between me and then, I'm more isolated here than any RV park I've ever been to) to "a hell of a lot less risky than staying home" (for someone who lives in a city/densely populated area/condo building/etc). Make everything "online only" and remove all interaction with staff, spread out the RV's as much as possible, tell people not to get close to one another. Seems reasonable. But "stay home, tape your front door closed and wait for a few months" seems to be the request, and, while the "best" option, it's also not very likely. Just like closing some RV parks, what's going to (or already is) happening? The parks that are still open are going to be packed to the gills because there's so many less places available to go. Increasing the density, exactly the thing that you don't want to do!

I fear that part of what we are seeing is that businesses are closing or curtailing "due to the virus" and then doing repairs and upgrades and letting their employees sign up for unemployment. We have a local national chain sandwich shop franchisee who has closed and using the time for remodeling. I don't think that they can honestly clam that the virus closed them as I watched a steady stream of people pass under the light "OPEN" sign then walk back out and go to either the pizza shop 2 doors up on one side or the Chinese place four doors down or the other. The workers already know that they will be going back to work May 1, and say that the closing was planned months ago, but has been moved up. The owners have already told them that if they get the bailout, then they will be paid the difference between the average weekly pay and what they get from unemployment. Some people are already looking for the silver lining.

Picked it up 2/8/20. Making payments. Haven't used it yet but I'm setting it up getting it ready.

Currently setting up a backyard campsite. I'll go camping this spring even if all I have to do is walk to the backyard.
