FAQ: When will I get my Drifter? How long are people waiting?

I think I may be the Nomad if 158 was delivered already. Also batch size increase if they are doing 10.

 

That means I'm still waiting. If the spreadsheet is right that is Socalexpeditions Nomad. Means that I will probably be in the following batch... March or April probably. Sucks because I am doing a 6-day offroading Utah trip at the end of February and will still be tenting it I guess.

Good news is if he can start pumping out 5 to 10 a month we'll get somewhere.

 

If he can get 10 done every 6 weeks he will get caught up prettt quick and back on track. Fingers crossed, but I wouldn’t get hopes up

 

In all fairness to Vagabond they are not far off from what Phil told you. By now there are more then likely units ready or at powder and “next steps” were happening with others. Also, a few of the parts were delivered out of spec from a supplier and needed to be replaced.
I’m focusing on the positive side with the batch increase of 10. The turnaround time with these and the cycling of new builds in is what I’m waiting to judge them on.

 

Appreciate periodic updates! Happy to see significant progress…19 months in and needed some positive news (#235)

 

Hot damn 10 might include me. @trashrose ordered the same day as me but with powdercoating I imagine I'll be before him albeit less visually pleasing.

 

This news PLEASES ME! Go Vagabond GO!

 

Trying to keep my hopes low ‍ I am currently telling myself April/May

 

Has anyone on here sold their spot? I am wondering what the process is like. I am 17 months in on a drifter.

 

Mods are watching this thread closely and will lock down your account pretty quickly for multiple reasons.
1) It has been decided that since we have no physical product to sell (only a reservation), we can't sell it here.
2) You only have 2 posts, which is too low to post for sale ads anyway.

Your best place is ExPo (https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/). There may be others. Here's a quick search showing what's been on there recently.

 

Thanks for the info. I am not posting my spot for sale. I'm actually not sure that I want to sell it. Just wondering about other's experience with the process of doing so. Seems like this is not the right place for the conversation. Understood.

 

Sorry, I must have misread... I don't see a problem discussing the process. It's been talked about several times in this and other threads, but the summary is:
1) Find someone to pay you, work out that deal however you want.
2) Contact Vagabond directly and notify them of the transfer of the reservation.
3) Phil will likely respond back in email confirming
4) New person is all set.

 

176 mostly built and being sent to powdercoaters due to blemished aluminum. Chose white for interior heat reasons but really want black for aessssthetic.

Things are happening folks.

 

Oh man that’s exciting news! Did they just send you an email update?

 

Yup yup!

 

Awesome to hear! I haven’t heard anything (#175)… Might be time to finally seal my bed. Been lazy.

 

Same…I can see light through so many areas in my Ram bed. The tailgate is a whole different story lol!

 

I have so much I need to do. Baseplate, new brakes, build fridge slide, source extrusion, plan build. I haven't planned how to build out my bed because I need a few measurements from the camper but I also need the weight of the build to be able to fit in the garage so my 1.0 build is gonna be rushed I think.

Nobody else got emails about theirs being blemished? Can't decide if I'm the lucky one or not.

 

I haven’t gotten any emails since August so I’m just hoping that I’m in this batch. Is it the powder coat or the actual aluminum that’s blemished?
