Who thinks the wait time on a retail built trailer will drop quite a bit after this Covid issue gets worked out? I would imagine there will be a lot of economic heartache after this ends and disposable income might drop for this type of purchase. It may be very bad for these small startup builders.
Wait times on retail trailers under current conditions.

Maybe petty and irrelevant to you but not to all.

It’s a legitimate question, but I would suggest that we, as a community think about this in terms of how do we help each other continue to enjoy this activity we love.
Who knows, maybe this challenge will remind us all to think about the fundamental reasons we are involved in overlanding in the first place. I know for me it was about experiencing the outdoors and learning about different places and people.
I admit the gear fetish creeps in for me periodically, but at times like these, with a parked rig, I’d trade it all to drive some POS to a secluded spot and spend a few evenings with a campfire and stars.
So if you come through this with some disposable income left, by all means spend it anyway you like. If that helps keep the businesses that provide the services and gear we have had the benefit of, that’s wonderful. Let’s not judge their good fortune, or good planning.
I’m afraid many of us won’t be so lucky and will be facing some difficult times ahead. Hopefully we can help a friend (or stranger) who is struggling to recover from this challenge to get out and remember the enjoyment that comes from exploring a new place with some good people.
