"All this 'early model' stuff is confusing--why do you do that?" 

We don't want to confuse anybody, but using "early model" is absolutely necessary so that you know exactly what you're getting.  Here's why: most vehicle manufacturers begin the next model year before the next calendar year actually arrives.  The reason is to prevent vehicles that are built in the fall or winter from being considered a "year old" after January 1st (since technically they are only a month or two old).  Since factories don't want to shut down for several months at the end of the year and then be far behind schedule on January 1st, manufacturers agreed that at a certain point in the calendar year their products can be designated as next year's model.  

In some cases the next model year label is applied to products manufactured before any real changes are made in the product's features, materials, or specifications.  If changes are made later in the year there is now a difference between two products that are supposed to be of the same model year--that's a problem.  Here's an example: Flagstaff used 17,000 BTU furnaces in all of their 2007 model year campers.  By the end of the 2007 calendar year Flagstaff switched to 20,000 BTU furnaces.  Some campers had already been delivered that said "2008" on the title but had the smaller 17,000 BTU furnace.  So two campers that both say "2008" have two completely different furnaces.  The problem occurs when you buy a 2008 camper that you thought had a 20,000 BTU furnace in it and end up with a 17,000 BTU furnace (especially if the price you paid was for a regular model year 2008!)  

To protect our customers from this situation and to be completely forthcoming about the details of our campers, we differentiate between early model-year campers and regular model-year campers (even if the changes from model year to model year are less substantial than furnace size!)
