PLANT BURNED DOWN MEXICO
Unfortunatly we are caught in a problem with our new trailer that I thought I should pass along to anyone about to order or who has a trailer on order with Keystone for a Montana. I just got off the phone with Charles Wade from Keystone. He told me that a factory in Mexico that makes a number of items for Montana burned to the ground. Some of the items no longer available concern the awning, hot water heater and other parts I did not make note of. As a result Keystone is trying to get past suppliers to make up the difference with the result that their normal production of 20 trailers per day is now down to 5 per day. This happened when production demand is way up. Current backlog is in the hundreds. Delivery quotes for new trailers are in the 10-12 week level as opposed to 6-8 wks. Suggest you have a talk with your dealer if you are caught in this situation.
I will post my problem after we see what Mr. Wade and Keystone are going to do to resolve the issue.
