Got our call today (1/18/21) that the RV is in and will be ready for pickup in 4 days. We ordered the unit in mid-October 2020 that was already in the dealer pipeline since May but had yet to be purchased. It had a build start date of 12/16/20. We were able to change the exterior color, counter top color, and add the exterior table to the order since the build start was still >6 weeks out.After a lot of searching and phone calls we found a Unity 24MB in October that the dealer had on allocation and had been "configured" in May. The dealer told us the build start date was mid-December with a projected ship date of late February. The options/upgrades selected by the dealer were very close to what we wanted. We were able to make decor color changes since we were still inside the factory permitted change window. Overall we feel quite fortunate to have found a unit that we could get exactly the way we wanted it and will only have to wait 5 - 6 months. We signed up for a "myLTV" account based on our Purchase Order number and were able to confirm the build start date with the factory.
Congratulations! Your time from order to delivery sounds like it will be inside one year! Which dealer did you order for??Got my call yesterday, Unity RL delivered to dealer 1/12/21.... Looking to pick up in the next 2 weeks. Placed order early March 2020
Congratulations! So exciting. Where is the first trip planned?Got our call today (1/18/21) that the RV is in and will be ready for pickup in 4 days.

The unit ended up being manufactured earlier than 12/16 as it was already completed by 12/22 with the exception of the awning being installed. We were just glad that the earlier production date did not affect us getting the changes we had requested.
We ordered/purchased our unit from Schaap's RV Traveland in Sioux Falls, SD. They had the unit as part of their allocation and was in the queue and pre configured by them. When we put our deposit down on it in October we were able to make the color changes we wanted since it was still 6+ weeks out from production. We took delivery on February 12th and drove it back to NorCal.Congratulations! Your time from order to delivery sounds like it will be inside one year! Which dealer did you order for??
They did not contact me either. I had to email my salesman and ask for status.Bongju
Mind me asking what your order number was?
We also ordered in Oct 2020 from Van City for delivery in St Loius and have heard nothing in terms of a status/build date of our unit.
Thanks

Reality DOES start to set in (eventually) especially for those with the gift of Patience ?. Wondering if you have confirmation from LTV they are building your ‘22 MB on the 2021 Benz chassis?? Enjoy!Just received our chassis VIN today. Ordered from Holland RV in San Marcos. Originally was a 2021, but we were on the year-end bubble, so are now getting a 2022.
Also received initial photos of build from the factory (bare chassis and rails / storage bins attached).

I do not know enough to confirm if the German Mfgr has to follow the 17 digit USA std: https://www.fcarusa.com/TechSupport/KB/vin-year-codeShould be able to tell from the VIN, right?
#OtterPops: High Fives ? are in order - Congrats on your good news from Holland RV on your '22 MB with what is appears to be a '21 Chassis! ?I did not get written confirmation on the chassis year, but the rep. at Holland said that he believed it would be a 2021, as they started receiving 2021 chassis in late July.
I did look on the Alldata site - they say the 10th character in VIN is the year definition. My 10th is the letter M, which by their chart indicates a 2021 vehicle.
I am checking on insurance options, and they will be able to confirm if nothing else.
