Why do we think they choose not to serialize their production units?
All other camper manufacturers typically provide a nameplate with a serial #. Would be super helpful for tracking and reselling. I’ve recently purchased a used unit and I’ve been told, “I think it’s #275 but who knows…”.
I think it would be a great idea for GFC. If they gave serial numbers one could go to the bank and get it financed. When I was looking into doing this every bank I went to told me without a serial number they could not give me financing for it. They could give me a personal loan, but the interest was ridiculous for a personal loan versus financing it.
All campers have a unit number. You can always shoot in an email, and we can look up your unit number for ya. We’ve got something in the works at HQ to laser engrave the unit number. Stay tuned!
Can it be laser engraved on a plate or something that can be affixed to the camper retroactively for the customers that want/need one… I had a bit of a challenge getting mine insured because of this
No timeline as to when this will be implemented. But yes, it will be set up in such a way that existing customers can do this retroactively if they already received their camper.
My particular issue (and why I started this thread) was that I bought my camper used (I’m the 3rd or 4th owner) and I have no legitimate way to know what # camper I have since I’m told GFC just “has a spreadsheet with the original owner’s name/#” and I was supposed to like call and inform them of a purchase?
Anyway, none of the names I knew of matched any GFC owner list so I have no clue my unit #…
