Selecting colors on a new T@B or buying off the lot?

Here are a couple pictures

I can see why it's Mouseketab :-)

Mouseketab is so cute! We knew we were going to have to order ours because of our floor plan and option choice; we wanted the Q with the 12V fridge; not the 3-way. The chance of finding one on the lot was seeming very slim!  Had there been one, we would have gone with any any available color!  When we discovered custom color was an option for not too much additioal $ we went for it! Tabs are so fun!

We were able to get the solid grey (actually the Outback interior) for a slight upcharge.

We got our T@B CS Max off the lot, silver with black trim.  Really thinking about removing the huge T@B logo off the back.  Being the Seahawk fan that I am, I want to put a huge 'Hawk logo on the back, but the wife is concerned about fanatic anti-Seahawkers damaging the T@B.  :(

Looking to get the Pahaque awning in the grey/blue for it.  Would love to change out the black trim for blue, but not sure how that would be done.

Patti, you could get away with that in your neck of the woods, you're on home turf.  I'm over in 'Skin country, so I'm significantly outnumbered by 'Skin, 'Boys, Iggles, and Giant fans, not to mention Steelers.

Patti - Not sure about the Yankees comparison. Seems more that Dallas brought on the hate themselves by calling the Cowboys "America's Team" <- I'm not a sports fan so I could give a rip but seems that's when it turned.

Nomad

Ahhhh - Not being a sports fan, I would never have known.
Used to be a fan back when team members were stable (purple people eaters) - gave up when every year the roster changed.

Well, ya know, Texans don't exactly have a humble reputation ;-)
I suppose we should get back on topic.

Have you checked with your dealer.  When we were looking on the lot, they show us several models where they had custom colored the trim and they offered to do any color we wanted.  Not sure how difficult it would be to change black to blue, but it's worth asking and it was more reasonable than buying all new trim pieces and having them installed.

You could probably have all the trim wrapped with whatever color or graphics you want like they do for advertising on buses and cars.

Is there somewhere one can see the color choices now? ONline?  I'll look at the main site and go hunting!!

Nomad

The standard colors are online but As I recall (and I could be wrong), you can basically get whatever color you want on a custom order, just specify a car color - Don't have any idea what that would cost though.

ELK

I actually like the silver/silver and the silver/ white.

Nomad

Silver/Silver was my choice - Even though I liked some of the colors I thought I might get tired of them after awhile. If I want to add color I could always do a wrap like they do on buses - That's removable.

We are Packer fans and use the mini Fatheads.  They're actually for indoor use, but we've used ours for about 4 years sparingly.  All the other things can be swapped out.  Our T@B is Pack T@B in the fall, but "Daisy" the rest of the year when I mainly travel solo.

Nomad

Wow - "we are Packer fans" is an understatement :-)

Rad

Packer fans........you have our quarterback......Go Cal!

I didn't realize the interior pic didn't post.  I guess I didn't hit "post comment". duh.  PXLated, you should see our family room. lol

Rad, our T@B won a contest a couple of years ago in the "Packers Coolest Wheels" category.  We submitted several, but this is the pic that won.  

The tailgate pic I posted above was taken at Lambeau

I ordred Lime green for the trim of the CS-S of mine.  It was extra, but I like the 
color.

Super cute, congrats  !

We're bummed waiting for our T@B while the midwestern camping season slips past.
We ordered five months ago and initially expected delivery in 3-1/2 to 4 months. We didn't have anything customized, we simply wanted our favorite model and finish. We were slotted for production this week but when we called today to get an delivery window, we found that we'd been bumped back several weeks to late August. Because our dealer is small, the finished T@B may be sitting for awhile waiting for a full trailer going in the right direction. So realistically, we'll be pushing six months or more. We'd optimistically booked vacation dates that seemed safe that we're canceling. 
So if you can buy off the lot, we'd recommend it. If you won't be happy unless you get a specific model and color, order in October and you'll be set for camping season next year (I think!).
That said, we're still very excited to get our trailer, and we understand that managing a growing company is a challenge. We're just pretty disappointed at the moment.

I sympathize with you.  I'm the type who thinks a long time to make a decision, and then wants it now.  Waiting is just slow torture.  Good luck and it will be worth it in hindsight!

Hmmm -  haven't heard of one taking that long.  My dealer was extremely small also.  Mine was delivered as a one-off, the fee was $800 from the factory to Minnesota  or I could drive to the factory and pick it up  with no fee.
So, something just doesn't sound right here to me anyway.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Hopefully you'll get your t@b before too long and have some fun with it this summer / fall...
We agree with your conclusion that ordering at the beginning of low camping season may be safer - we made a contract with our dealer in December for a custom unit, which was delivered on time in April, right at the start of the spring camping season.

I love this forum. I will be ordering soon and devour the comments I find here. For those of you who are planning to order (and belong to the Facebook forum) here's a link to a discussion that Scott Hubble (CEO) jumped into. Basically, you can mail them 10 yards of fabric and they will cover your cushions as they build out your T@B. I will be traveling solo, so want the cushions split - they will do that at the same time so I don't have to do it and recover myself. https://www.facebook.com/groups/24931511064/permalink/10153152004971065/?comment_id=10153152194896065&reply_comment_id=10153159313716065&notif_t=group_comment_reply

How do you find out when your T@B is supposed to be built/delivered?
