Wow!  That is an awesome option list.  I am sure you will enjoy all the convenience.  With these options you should be very comfortable in limited service campgrounds in National Parks, National Forest, boondocking, and full amenity RV resorts.  Congratulations on your selections.

Wow, a very handsome list of options you have there Madonna and John!  Good for you.  It sounds wonderful, one very nice Home-Sweet-Home.  Remember that you have some time to change your mind pending where your 2552 is during the assembly process, so if you want to change a thing or two (or three or four) during your waiting period, be sure to call Earl ASAP.  Hang in there while you wait.  You've got a lot of time to think about where to go on your first big trip.

Still considering the Dittmer Drawers.

Wow, a very handsome list of options you have there Madonna and John!  Good for you.  It sounds wonderful, one very nice Home-Sweet-Home.  Remember that you have some time to change your mind pending where your 2552 is during the assembly process, so if you want to change a thing or two (or three or four) during your waiting period, be sure to call Earl ASAP.  Hang in there while you wait.  You've got a lot of time to think about where to go on your first big trip.

Ah, the drawers.  We really do love them.  They have met our needs extremely well.  We do need to remember to lock them closed with the center latching buttons I added later.  If not button-latched, our drawers will open when we drive because of their extra weight.

As I recall with a 2552, you'll get a pull-out pantry to the right of the stove top.  An alternate arrangement would be to use that extra 12" of linear footage for a larger counter-top and two sets of extra wide drawers.  I seen a 2552 done up that way and it looked exceptionally functional.

Going through your list of options, it was not clear to me.  Are you getting a couch without a slide out?  If so, what are you doing with your extra wall space?  A floor to ceiling closet?  I don't recall anyone getting the couch without the slide out before.

Hubs convinced me the slideout was a good idea.  We don't have to use it, but it is there.  Have no plans to use the sofa as a bed unless sometime in the distant future our grandkids would travel with us.

You are "in" with the masses.  Everyone with a 2350, 2351, 2551, and 2552 who has that slide out, loves it.  Especially since Phoenix added the fridge into the slide out in 2010.  I am sure you will too.

Count us interested in an East Coast sub-club!

We 2400 owners love our slide too.  In fact, we couldn't make up a bed without it!    

 Just spoke with Earl Robbins.  We had a couple of additional items for them to add and - drumroll - we have an order number!!  He said they will start the build in a couple of weeks.  BTW, they still have the ambassador program so we made sure he was aware of all your efforts, John and Holly. He remembers you (in a positive way).   ; )

Thank goodness! I seem to be well remembered by many... But not always in a positive way. John is Mr. Nice Guy so he helps offset any bad karma I may stir up.

It was our pleasure showing the rig. I'll use any excuse to go wandering in her so the trip down was no problem. Meeting new happy campers is my favorite. Give us a call or email if you need any info or have questions.

Enjoy the anticipation!

Just talked to Earl to clarify a couple of things. I off handedly asked about when he thought they might start building our RV.  He said they already have the walls installed! WOW!  We were so pleasantly surprised. His rough guess is 8 weeks until completion. OMGoodness.  I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight.  🤪

Good news!!

I had much the same surprise on our coach.  I called to ask about making a small change as I thought they were months from starting.  I was shocked to hear the walls were up and it was too late for the change I wanted to make.

8 weeks is very good news though.  We placed our order on November 1st and took delivery on March 1st.

Guess we hit the sweet spot of the slow season.
