That's not bad at all for a timeline.

I live to far away to get down to the factory.

I was able to touch and look at the FWC at the Tigard Or. Dealer.

Plus they already had ordered a few, so we were able to get one of those, and set it up how we wanted.

Only going to end up being a 1 month wait.

 

Next one (if there is a next one) I will look pretty hard at the ATC stuff.

Welcome to the cult Matt. What model FWC did you get?

Having it that soon will be nice.

We have a front dinette fleet on its way.

it will be going on a 2011 quad cab Tacoma, we have been using a 93 Pastime for the last few years, and it was good to us, but we wanted something new, and the lighter pop-up appeals to me because we often make a high speed run somewhere on Friday evening.

Sounds like a nice setup. These are great platforms to go a lot of places others can't.

#1. Superior customer service

#2. Price. At the time of my order ATC had a great promotional incentive which aided me in saving almost $2900.00 over a comparably equiped FWC.

I know it is 11 years later...

;-)

But does ATC ever do those promos these days?

I have heard many good things about ATC

thanks. :-)

John, your best bet is to give them a call, tell them what you’re interested in, and see what they can do for you. I worked with Marty (one of the owners) and found him great. Their motto is “Built To Survive”, and they live up to that. If you go to the Ski3Pin’s blog, in 2013 they documented the build of their Bobcat at ATC, plus their own custom build out of the interior. I’ll see if I can find a link for you.

Edit: here is the first of several blog entries. http://ski3pin.blogs...r-part-one.html

Back in 2010, this time of year (late Fall) was their "slow" season. So they were interested in doing more work. Not sure that is still true, but, if you don't ask, you don't know.

 

I offered to pay a larger down payment than normal in cash and then the final payment at pick up at their shop in cash.

They were happy to see those piles of $100 bills on the desk.

They gave me a great deal.

About the same savings that marc mentioned, ~ $3,000.

 

And, they did a fair amount of custom things for me, too.

^ may have been more than a slow season then. 08-10 were difficult times for new RV and auto sales. Cash was king and made for some great deals.

 

On EDIT inconsiderate not to mention, this day, also a tough time for auto workers

Glad you were able to call Marty or Jeff and get the current details. Thanks.
