Vanford release date?

Post by karirick » Tue Oct 20, 2020 5:19 pm

Bantam,
Will it be 2021 before we see any Vanford's for sale? TW lists 15 Dec 2020 it was showing 15 Oct 2020.

Thanks.

Rick

We have been shipping them to the dealers as we get them in. Covid delayed everything by at least two months, in some cases longer. I know we received several because I did the QC inspections on them when they arrived.

Roger that; Covid jacked everything up....probably for the rest of our lives.

Stay safe all.

The factory was closed due to government shut down for almost 2 months, so that delay moved forward. They are doing the best they can to try and catch up. Demand for outdoor products is through the roof. Combine that with a new release which made just about everything backordered.
