Subject: 2020 Sprinter Supply Issues
Valued LTV Dealers,
Due to challenges that Mercedes-Benz is facing regarding the 2020MY Sprinter chassis, the RV industry is facing shortages and delays with Sprinter chassis supply. At Leisure Travel Vans, in an attempt to keep our employees busy and our production at full capacity, we will be making the following changes:
Serenity - We are currently not accepting any new Serenity orders. Production will continue until January 31, 2020. Orders with retail names have been prioritized. Please confirm with your Territory Sales Manager to confirm your Serenity orders.
Unity - Starting in January 2020, there will be a temporary reduction in Unity production rates. As a result, this will delay the ship date of scheduled, forecasted, and order bank Unity orders. We ask that you please communicate this and set expectations with your retail customers accordingly. Depending on where the order sits, delays could be anywhere from one to three months, or more. Once the Sprinter chassis supply is replenished, which is expected to be in May or June, Unity production rates will be increased to meet customer demand.
Wonder - In order to keep our production facility operating, we will be accelerating Wonder production. We will be adding an all-new Wonder floorplan to the lineup in early 2020, as well as starting production using the all-new 2020 Ford Transit chassis in March! Stay tuned for more information.
Please contact your Territory Sales Manager if you have any questions or concerns. We thank you for your continued support in helping us address this supply issue.
