Disappointing news from dealer

Our new Jay Flight 24rbs was supposed to be delivered to the dealer last week, but is apparently delayed until mid-August! Needless to say we were very disappointed, and went looking again.

Found a new 2018 Coachmen Freedom express with the exact floor plan as the 24RBS. It came home with us yesterday, and we are camping this weekend! Very excited and love the new trailer. Just hope we made the right decision.

Why was it cancelled and why so long? Seems too long to me.

Good luck with the Coschman.

Not really sure what happened, dealer said they had several of these on order since October of last year. No real explanation other than "they were frustrated too". I am not sure who to blame...water under the bridge now I guess.

That's a bummer.
I thought Coachman made a good product.
It's a division or Forrest River, so still in the family :-)
We love the floor plan. Very spacious.

Best of luck,
Doug

I believe Jayco is owned by Thor, not Forest River.

You are correct lol.
