Hello Expedition Portal Members
It's that time of year again.
FWC will have a Price Increase starting on December 1st, 2018.
If you have been on the fence and are thinking about ordering a new camper, now might be a good time to get an order started to save a few bucks over the 2019 camper pricing.
The upcoming increase averages about 3% for options and about 4% for base pricing.
Our goal is to always keep price increases as close to zero as possible.
As a result of the tariffs, over the last six months, our supply chain has experienced higher than normal price increases. We are not alone in this as you have undoubtedly heard of price increase announcements from other companies across the country.
The good news is we have reduced costs in some areas of our manufacturing. The combination of new processes and methods, formal production training, automation, and a cleaner more organized facility have contributed to greater efficiencies….and a higher level of quality. So, though our material costs have continued to climb higher, our production cost reductions have helped combat higher price increases.
Though we cannot predict what 2019 will bring in terms of material cost levels, we have plans to continue increasing overall production efficiencies. More automation and process improvement (workflows) projects are locked in to accomplish over the next six months and beyond.
Both 2018 camper pricing, as well as the new 2019 camper pricing is now listed on our website.
