This will be short been a long day.
The Factory tour went well but still some unanswered questions. However they moved us over and gave us hook ups at the reasearch and development yard about 20 miles away (Fleetwoods area 51). Last chance for me to ask questions. Fleetwoods managing engineer stopped by the motorhome and visited for quite awhile, he just left. Tomorrow we will find out why no one can properly adjust our slideout, why the Horn don't work, why the dash bolts come loose and the dash shakes, why plastic slide pads are loose and if this is good or bad. Tonight he played with the cat and we visited about his and our famlies, travels and such.
Lot of prototype and equipment testing going on hear. 32' wall slide on an Amercian coach, one test slide going in an out something like 17000 times; it is hooked up to all kinds of data feeding electronics plus a phone line to call someone should it stop or fail. More simialr equipment turning fans on and off 25000 times, plus checking bearing wear and friction, Electrical engineers doing electrical stuff... what a fun place. :B
