So Stoked I got my order in. Last day!!
I wonder how many nights I will get to sleep on the roof of my 80 this summer
 
Haven't got it yet. I did send Bobby an email on April 4th and here's his reply: "We will be shipping out the tents in order of purchase. You could have yours by the end of the month. We will contact you as soon as we ship it out."

So, I'm not expecting to see anything until this months end or possibly 1st week or so in May. Everyone hang tight. Post up when you get yours.

Received my tracking number on 11 April. It's currently at the freight warehouse near here, but haven't received any call from them to pick it up yet.

Sent Bobby a couple of emails but get no response. Also called their business multiple times, but nobody ever answers, and the answering machine is full.

So, I sit and wait...

Well, I went out to the freight warehouse today and picked up my tent. Box was in decent shape - strapped it to the roof rack and drove home. Leaving town until Sunday night, so won't be able to open it until next week sometime. I'm not sure why they didn't ship the awning at the same time - now I have to make the 45 minute drive to the warehouse again. I've attached a pic of the box after I took it off the truck.
 
Had it shipped to my sister's outside of Boston because I live in NYC and no place to put it. Wasn't aware that it wouldn't be delivered to the address. The warehouse is far(ish) from my sister's place and all she has is a Mercedes C class. I'll probably have to pay more to have it delivered. No word back from Bobby. Anybody else have shipping issues?
 
I received my tent a month ago, and there was damage to the box. The bottom of the tent (fiberglass portion) was dented in and had a hole in it. I called Bobby a month ago asking what he wanted me to do, and I still haven't heard back from him. We are leaving on a 5 week trip in a few weeks, so I went ahead and put the tent on. I know they are busy, but I have been less than impressed with their customer service. Not sending the tent back, but I won't recommend them to anyone, unfortunately. Bobby seems like a really nice guy, just overwhelmed. Not good for business.
 
Any updates on orders being filled ?, I ordered and paid in early March and have not had any reply to info. requests.
 
I paid for a McKinley March 22nd and still no tent. We are lucky enough to live in Oregon so we just drove out there and looked at the demo models when we bought. Bobby seems like a really great guy. My guess is they are totally swamped. When I first called in march I believe there was Bobby and another guy that worked there. The last 2 times I have called there has been a woman answering the phone so maybe they have more staff or a change in staff. I am mildly annoyed but OK with the wait, my wife is pretty ticked off.
My family has a big camping trip in 2 weeks. We have an old Mombasa RTT we have been using for years and our last camping trip the ladder bent so I am contemplating just welding up a new ladder section and waiting out the storm or asking for a refund.
I think they are great people with a great product but are having some growing pains with the business. I figure some time in the immediate future(2 weeks) or distant future(maybe next year) we will end up with one of their tents. The construction and design seems really good and my wife loves the annex.

I finally got to speak with Bobby yesterday and he said that a shipment is enroute "On the water" and I should expect delivery no later than mid July.
I will still need to set it up on my trailer to try to have everything ready for a trip in mid August.......Hopeing everything goes smooth and we see em a little sooner
 
I've heard they may have another GB in April...hopefully we will see something shortly!

Can anyone report a review since owning it for a year now? Im looking at either the Bachelor or Shasta, but not sure which one to go with.
