Challenger Doors
Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2021 1:50 pm
I finally was able to get hold of someone at Challenger, get a quote, and place an order for my doors. I wanted 36x32 if I could get them, so Challenger was my preferred vendor. I worked with a nice lady named Stacey (listed on their order page).
A couple of things to note:
1. Current lead times are quoted as 8-10 weeks (as of today). Like everyone, they are hitting material shortages and delays.
2. They have apparently been acquired by Lippert, which isn't a good thing or a bad thing. Just a fact. I think some of the people who are currently listed on their web page may have moved on to other positions, or simply moved on. Given that it took a couple of days to get a quote, I suspect they may be a little short staffed and kinda busy.
3. Once you have a quote in hand, their current web order system is a little touchy. It worked fine from my phone browser, but I couldn't get past 'captcha' with either edge or chrome on my computer.
4. Prices are still significantly less than the other guys - for the larger doors, nearly $200 less.
As far as quality goes, I'll let you know in 8-10 weeks, which is hopefully about when I will need them
Gonna snow here today (maybe). Stay warm.
