Thee, that wasn't so tough huh? :D

Looks good. :thumbsup: Is there a warmer grout color? Reason I ask is that light color over time will show it's age compared to a warmer color. IMO the grout color doesn't really blend with with anything other than the 4" accent tile. If there's a grout color the blends (disappears) with the main floor tile that might look and perform better over time. What color is the ultra leather?

You know -- that's real good advice!



The Ultra leather is a dark brown -- Ultra Leather STEERHIDE

Well.... I think I'm heart broken this morning... but stuff happens while you're having fun sometimes.

The long and short of it is I canceled the trailer order this morning after several emails and phone calls telling me that the Renegade factory has yet to schedule a build date - and that the build date IF I sign off on drawings (that I've been waiting and waiting for weeks to get) might get scheduled July 29th and I'd be 12 to 16 weeks out from there.

All of this time I was working on a delivery date of June! They haven't even slotted a build date!

I signed basic - and I mean the most very basic (as posted here earlier) weeks ago... and I requested more detailed drawings for review.... it was back then that I was told June delivery date. In the meantime I was working under the ASSumption that we were just drilling down on details such as flooring choices - fabrics - and minor details etc.

After several emails requesting more detailed drawings -- and being given many excuses as to why they aren't done (illness etc)... I'm now told that they don't have the expertise to produce the drawings and that there's no build date unless I sign off on what I have! A two year old could draw the basic shapes I have.... and I'm supposed to commit to taking a $400,000 totally custom built trailer based on this. Oh and by the way --- I'm now months out as well --- another missed summer --- because of their inabilities.

I could actually work with the basic drawings --- given a large stretch of "trust" that they build a good product and we can figure stuff out as we go.... but the move of the build date is just the last straw. That infuriates me. Mind you -- I gave the dealer a $150,000 deposit LAST JUNE.

Charley will just have to watch TV from the little 12V cigarette lighter version I'll buy at Camper World... :bang: : :rolleyes:

Greg, I am very sorry to hear that, as I think we all are sorry. Time to start the search again?

Well that sucks.
Just call your buddy Mark and get this trailer. Its almost what you wanted.
Just build the front section into a living quarter. If you start now, You could have it done by June.

Greg, have you looked at T&E Trailers? http://www.tande-racetrailers.com/tr...r/stacker.html

GregWeld 04-05-2013 10:14 AM

I've been working on this whole idea for almost 2 years now. Never thought it would be so hard to get something that should be pretty straight forward. It really isn't complicated. What complicates the entire thing is that I want really high end interior (and exterior) --- and what's out there is "race stuff".... i.e., really basic oak cabinets and vinyl flooring etc. Many of the trailer builders only build trailers -- then they sub out to someone else to build the interiors. Renegade / IKON build all in house --- exactly what I'm looking for. The problem is that they're running on such a skeleton crew that you just go for weeks and weeks waiting on answers to simple questions.... all the while pushing out the build dates. They are NOT waiting on me! I'm waiting on them!

I'm okay with just bagging the whole idea. I'm busy building a new custom home in Sun Valley -- and that's a two year process... and will be a complicated build/design.... so not having to juggle both will be fine with me for now. I've been dragging my little 24' trailer around for a long time now - and it "works".
