That's amazing! I know I waited nine months for mine, but to actually put a down payment on something you may not have for two years? As LTV normally does some model changes every year, you wouldn't really know what you are buying, or how much it will cost if you didn't negotiate a fixed price with your down payment. And just imagine how many of these will discover they don't like rv'ing after they take delivery.I see on the Leisure FB page that people ordering new Leisure's now are being told 16-24 month delivery time!

We just placed an order for a Unity RL 3 weeks ago. The dealer asked for a $10000 deposit, $9000 of which is refundable up until the build is finalized, after which the deposit is non refundable. They also offered $5000 off the final delivered price and estimated delivery in 13 months.
That is good as I was told it would be around 24 months for my Unity! What dealership did you go through if you don't mind me asking. The 2 year wait has turned me off the LTV line right now.

I think you did good and may have saved yourself some heartache. We are in Oregon, too, and purchased our RV from Johnson RV with a not so positive purchasing (and after purchase) experience. They wanted a $10,000 non- refundable deposit and estimated a 12 month wait. I refused to leave a non-refundable deposit on a high demand vehicle that they could easily sell in the event I was not able to complete they purchase and told them so. As I began to walk they changed their minds and they accepted a $10,000 deposit that would be REFUNDABLE in the event I was not able to complete the purchase. My experience with Johnson RV has not been good either before, during or after the purchase. As a first time RV buyers we thought that it would be advantageous to purchase local but we have learned from our experience that is not true. We love our Unity, though, and we think that you will, too. Enjoy!We are in Oregon, and Johnson RV is local. We were told, in September, that all new coaches would be 18-24 months out.
UPDATE:Well I will try to include our experience below, but we are a rare instance. As SSTraveler noted, the wait times on new Unity's is extreme. We are in Oregon, and Johnson RV is local. We were told, in September, that all new coaches would be 18-24 months out. And just as SST hinted, we then started to consider picking up a used unit to use for those 18-24 months. They had two used 2014 on site, and said they'd be gone in 24 hours. We didn't like that pressure, so we decided to take some time to find a used unit that would work for us. During that search, which was only a handful of days, we called VanCity RV in Kalispell, MT, about a used unit they had on their website. That unit was already sold, but the dealer had just received a cancellation of an existing order for a new unit (2021). We were able to step in on that order, as it was the TB floorplan we were looking for, with more or less the options we wanted. So, keep that in mind when you review the following:
* Month Ordered: September 2020 (see above)
* Lead Time on Order: 3 months (mid-December)
* Model Ordered: Unity TB
* When You Receive a Production Slot: In September we were told production would be start to mid of November
* Forecasted Delivery with Production Slot: Coach will be ready for pickup in MT on December 14th, 2020. We have a VIN.
Regarding deposits, we were told the prior owner cancelled just before their unit went into forecasting and their deposit would no longer be refundable. Since we took the order over at that point, we were told we needed to put down a $10,000 holding deposit that would not be refundable. Given we were three months out from delivery, it didn't seem like a huge ask, especially given the scarcity of units, but I can't say I would have felt as good about it if we were 18-24 months out.
