Which 5th wheel factory tour would you recomend.

My father and I are going to take a week to do some traveling some time in Feb and one thing we want to do is see a fifth wheel being made so I would like opinions on which factories we should visit.
  • If you are planning on visiting Northern Indiana (RV mecca) you have options galore. I've been on a few and whatever manufacturer you decide, you'll be watching whatever they are building on that day. They don't necessarily build only 5er or TT in any facility. They are almost always mixed, a 5er might be right beside a TT, and 2 different models might be right beside each other too.

    Once you figure out where you'd like to go, or what brand your interested in, do an internet search for that manufacturer, search around on their web site and you will find a contact phone number somewhere, and some times even times and day of week for tours.

    Once you've seen how one factory assembles RV's you've pretty much seen how all of them do it, even motorhomes (like Coachman near Middlebury, Indiana) and Dutchmen-Danali TT's and 5er's) in Goshen, Indiana.
