Ordered a 2018 21BHS

[Paul]

I believe that's our 16TBS parked next to yours in the LL yard. Also waiting for doors.

Oh really you are also missing a cabinet door? Do they have a shortage of them? Did you order with the Aluminum doors?

[KathiA]

Yes, ordered aluminum package. Ours also came off the line last week.   Told there's a vendor issue (shortage?) with 28-1/2" by 12-1/2" doors.  This is our second try - first order came without aluminum and off road packages.  Hope it's not too long. Fingers crossed.  I'll let you know if I hear anything.  🤞

Thank you for letting me know! Mine came off the line on Tuesday. I hope it doesn't take too much time because I have to bring it to the storage facility on October 28. If you add the time the dealer will take to prepare it and install my fantastic fans and the dealer is 10 hour away so it is going to be tight for me !

I've been researching travel trailers and have just about settled on the 21rbs as best fitting my needs. I also would like to special order mine. Could you tell me what is a good negotiating price for ordering a base model?

There are lots of variables in RV pricing, including geographic location, season, local dealer inventory, popularity of model, etc. For example, There is new 21BHS for sale in Illinois right now for $27,000. If you were to special order rather than buy off a lot, you should expect to pay more, plus the options you want. The MSRP of RVs is a mythical beast, so look at dealer inventory in your part of the country to see actual offering prices for units on the lot.

Edit: I see you're looking for a 21RBS. The same dealer, Sunny Island RV in Illinois, has a few of those for you to ground truth prices on.

Paul, I heard that our 16TBS invoiced today and will be released. Not exactly sure what that means timewise, but it's progress.

Hi KathiA, thank you for the update. My dealer also told me that it was invoiced and was going to be released shortly. The dealer is going to tell me when they talk with their transporter when it will arrive in Quebec Canada. Not sure when I will be able to pickup the trailer because it need to be delivered in Quebec first then they have to install fantastic fans and vent cover for me. Also I have to drive 10 hour from New Brunswick to get there. I am ready to leave to the dealer in a short notice whenever it's ready to be picked up because I have to bring it to the storage facility on October 28. Hopefully I get it on time. We might never meet but our Camplite did as they were next to each other on their lot!

I received my 21BHS!

No more doors under the dinette bench



You can only access it by lifting the bench



I wish I had taken better pictures! I will take more picture when it will be out of storage

Very cool. What is the rectangular thing on the kitchen wall behind the cooktop?

Paul,

THAT is a blue camper! And YOURS is a blue truck! That's my favorite truck color but my wife said no. So I got a hum drum everyday silver gray truck and a dark gray LL. Enjoy your new 21. It should be easy to spot in a campground. Are you keeping the CL11 at your seasonal site or is it being replaced?

I will now use the 21BHS at the seasonal site!
