I am not sure if I will follow thru on my reservation or not, depends on several factors, final price, towing capacity, trim options, and service availability here in NorCal. But as a day 1 reservation holder I will just wait and see what develops down the road, $100 is pocket change and well...
Yes they will, but the elephant in the room is will it change for the better? or worse? Most people do not realize how intertwined the world's economy is.
I hear you, my investments are down over $100K also, that’s more than the cost of a fully loaded Traveler, so it’s a good thing the truck won’t be available for 2+ years, I am definitely in a wait and see mode.
That's interesting, it is not spec'ed for in motion use, it was my understanding it was stationary only as the satellites are geosynchronous. In any case we don't use it in motion.
More and more I am thinking Scout will have a hard row to hoe getting its product to market under $75K, I am currently moving money trying to protect my portfolio from what I see as a huge market downturn, getting into indexed CD's, gold MM funds, and high yield MM and Savings accounts. I can...
We camp at Winterhaven, (north of Yuma on the Calif border) in the desert a lot, love to lay out in the lounger and just enjoy the awesome canopy of stars, we use SkyView to ID things we don't know.

I will keep my Traveler Harvester res for now, but if tow capacity stays at 5K I will need to go a different direction as I tow to the desert every year.
