Kit Lead Times
Below are the estimated lead times for Van’s RV kits. These lead times are updated regularly to reflect the approximate timeframe in which we expect to have each kit available to be crated for a customer.
- We cannot always control the availability of certain materials and parts. While we work diligently to gather lead times for third-party components, we rely on timely delivery of those parts when we are estimating lead times for your kits that include those components.
- The kit(s) you order may be available and delivered sooner than the published lead time. Please plan and be ready to take possession of your order as soon as it is ready to deliver, because we cannot store completed kits once they are ready to ship even if they are ready earlier than was estimated. Customer-initiated delays to the acceptance of ready-to-deliver kit(s) may result in the original price being updated to the price effective on the new delivery date, and/or may require us to deliver your kit to another customer and reassign your order to a future production batch.
- We ship individual kits as soon as they are produced and ready to ship. We are unable to make commitments to hold completed kits to combine with another kit(s) for shipping. Please be prepared and understand that each sub-kit will need to ship separately. If our team happens to be able to ship multiple kits together due to a “happy” schedule alignment we will do so, of course, but we cannot entertain requests to hold and combine kits in a single shipment.
Quick Build Fuselage and Wing customers may experience variability in projected lead times due to delays in overseas shipping of parts to and from our QB contract assembly facilities. Lead times may also vary depending on our current factory stock and/or stock of available parts at the assembly facilities. Since containers are shipped to the quick-build facilities approximately every 2-3 months, it is possible that QuickBuild kit orders placed only days apart could have significantly different lead/completion times.
