My wife and I finally made a decision and put money down on a Nexus Wraith today at the Tampa RV Show. It will be built on a "Durastar Lite" chasis with a 300 hp Cummins and 2500 Allistar 6-speed transmission, with a GVRW of 23,500 lbs.
The 4 guys from Nexus, which included both owners, Dave Middleton and Claud Dinari, the primary sales Rep, Dave Lint, and the VP of Sales, Steve Jacobs, were exceptional to work with. Dave Lint was especially helpful in that he spent several hours with us, answering questions and helping us narrow down our search. After several hours of looking at the 4 Super C's that were at the show and talking though all the options available, it became clear that the Wraith would be what best fits our needs and desires.
The salesman from Lazy Days, Shane Truesdale, was also great to work with once he was brought in for final negotiations.
We were also very impressed with how the Nexus guys where so responsive in that they listened to our suggestions and questions. They even agreed to make a modification to the cover of the fuel tank based on our feedback. They also committed to take back some other ideas to the design team back in Elkhart.
This is the first time we have ever purchased a brand new vehicle. But based on the great deal we were able to negotiate, we felt it was the right thing to do. We have been told it will take about 2 months to build our unit, which will include a paint color scheme that we preferred, and that has only been an option on the Ghost, and not the Wraith. When they communicated this us it convinced us that they are truly customer focused.
We plan to make a trip to the Nexus plant at some point during the build, which they encouraged us to do. I'll provide more information as we continue to communicate with Nexus during the build process, and then after we take delivery, which will be in Tampa at Lazy Days.
