Ordering an off-road travel trailer is a bigger decision than most online purchases, and it's normal to have questions about what actually happens between clicking "request a quote" and backing your new Black Series down the driveway. Here's the process, step by step, with no surprises.

Step 1: Get a Quote

Everything starts with a personalized quote. Tell us the model and trim you're considering — Base, Yellow Stone, or Rocky Mountain — and we'll confirm current pricing, availability, and estimated build slot. This step is free and doesn't commit you to anything.

Step 2: The $500 Refundable Deposit

Ready to move forward? A $500 refundable deposit reserves your build slot and locks in your model, trim, and configuration. Because it's fully refundable, it functions more like a place-in-line reservation than a down payment — you're not locked in if your plans change before your unit is built.

Step 3: Financing or Paying Direct

Black Series offers factory-direct financing at 8.99–11.74% APR depending on credit and term, alongside dealer financing options. Whichever route you choose, your sales contact will walk you through the numbers before final payment is due — there's no obligation to finalize financing at the deposit stage.

Step 4: Build & Delivery Timeline

Typical delivery runs 2–4 weeks from order confirmation, shipped nationwide from our facility in Upland, CA. Timelines can shift with trim complexity and current order volume, so your sales contact will give you a firm window once your build is scheduled — and will keep you posted if anything changes.

Step 5: Delivery Day

When your trailer arrives, take the time to walk through it before signing off: check the water system, battery and solar readout, appliances, and exterior for any transit damage. This is also the moment to register your warranty — every Black Series ships with 1-year comprehensive coverage, a 15-year structural warranty, and a lifetime warranty on the A-frame chassis.

Frequently asked questions

Is the deposit really refundable? Yes — it's designed to hold your place in the build queue, not to lock you into a purchase you're unsure about.

Can I change my trim after placing a deposit? Talk to your sales contact as early as possible; changes are easiest before your build slot is finalized.

What if delivery takes longer than expected? You'll be updated proactively — call (833) 822-6737 or email info@blackseries.net any time for a status check.
