Anxiously Waiting for my 2012 X20E

[jbwjbw]

Placed my order with the dealer a few weeks ago. Another 4-5 weeks before it will be at the dealer and ready to be picked up. Such a long wait! Trying to be patient. Ready to start camping!!

Hey Justin! Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new purchase! 2012 - nice!

[Boss Wagon]

Waiting is tough, but it will be worth the wait.

Better get a back-up Jayco brochure, 4-5 weeks is a long time and you will have your original brochure worn out in two weeks

Welcome to the Jayco forums!

Congratulations Have Fun!

[Denise]

Welcome to the Jayco Owners Forum Justin! Congrats on your new Jayco!

[jbwjbw]

Thanks everyone!

I am getting excited. We've always tented in the past but with two kids and getting rained out a few too many times, enough was enough. We have 5 camping trips planed so far, I'm looking forward to them all! 4-5 more weeks of waiting is a long time, I'm trying not to think about it too much, maybe the time will fly by a little faster.

Congrats! That will be a long wait, but it will be nice when it comes in.

Welcome Justin! We also purchased a X20E but, a 2011. We pick ours up next Thursday!

We were in a PUP for about 5 years and a tent before that. Looking forward to the camping season.

Ya, had we gotten a 2011 we could have picked ours up already. The dealer provided a list of changes for the 2012 and I decided I wanted to wait and get a 2012. Still several weeks of waiting left. Such a long wait! :-)

Do you remember some of the changes they made, just curious.

One week from today for us

Picked up my 2012 X20E this past Friday. Now just have to get everything ready for our first camping trip. Nice camper, thus why we went with this model. I really do like the fold out ends, really a great design. I might try and post a picture or two. As one might expect not a lot of changes with this year's model.

its funny that there is no mention of the 228 (that we just bought) in there with the added models.

It seems the 228 is a new model. I tried looking for it on the Jayco archive page and there was no 228 for 2010 or 2011. That is probably why there are few if any owners of that model here yet.
