I too enjoyed the magazine article. It truly speaks to the process of acquiring a quality built trailer like Camp Inn.
I ordered mine the Monday after Thanksgiving 2014, with a first half July delivery. In fact, your video was a huge influence on my decision to order the Camp Inn 560 in the first place.
By the way, waiting surely tests ones patience.
I drove up to Wisconsin in March to tour the production facility and I met with Cary. This was the first time I saw a Camp Inn in person. Not only are the trailers of exceptional quality, but the employees have a special pride in their workmanship.
Shortly after the March trip an exceptional 560 was posted for sale, and I contacted the owner. With nearly all of my ordered options on the unit for sale, it was very tempting.
I emailed Cary (he was at a trade show) and Craig responded. The Camp-Inn consensus was that the 560 for sale was a well cared for unit. During my trip to Wisconsin in March I took stereo components to be incorporated in my build. As the posts and video show your 560 to have the custom sound system, I wanted something similar on mine. In the end this was the deciding factor to pass on the 560 for sale and stay the course to get a unit completely customized to my desire.
My purchasing process is a similar story to the one you experienced, with a slightly different twist because mine is a direct factory unit.
Again congrats on being published. Your story is a wonderful read.
