Not sure when its on next, but its very interesting to watch them build the entire coach from the frame up.  Both good things and bad.  Sure looks comfy, and big slideouts too.  Bet it expoldes like all the others in an accident.  For a mass produced motorhome, they have come a long way.

Travel is more than the seeing of sights, it is a change that goes on, deep  and permanent, in the ideas of living.

I took a factory tour at Winnebago last year or the year before when I was buying an entrance door from their surplus store.

I posted about my tour experience before, but basically it is about the most inefficient production line I have ever seen.  Nothing like an automotive factory.  I can see why the quality and workmanship is so bad in a lot of RVs.  They could probably increase quality and reduce production costs if they brought in someone to redesign the assembly plants.

This one looked pretty efficiecent on screen, and its a new line for the new model.  Maybe they have redesgned it.
