How fast do you think they can build a TT?

Not sure if this vid has been posted here before.
Never would have thought an RV could be built this quick.
6 hrs out the door.
The video is about 5 years old, so maybe theyve streamlined the build process even more.:B
From the looks of how these people are moving theres no wonder why there are so many issues.
Looks like a lot of Amish workers too.
  • Wasn't Ford building B52 bombers in 55 minutes leading into WWII? Video somewhere on that recently.
  • How long to build a car?
    they roll off the line about 1 a minute, from one end to the other ?
    couple of days.
  • CLICKY

    I wonder if the 6 hours include lunch and mandatory union breaks? :@
    How long does it take to build a car or truck on an assembly line?
  • Nothing new....in fact they build them faster today than 5 yrs ago. Rockwood was pushing 20+ out the door per day from one line when ours was built in April of 2016.

    If you ever go see it in person you'll have 2nd thoughts about ever buying one.


    Any sembalnce of quality or quality control is way down the list as the goal is to get as many out the door as possible while sales are good. The Amish are a bunch of hacks who are there to get a paycheck and get out the door as early as early as possible in the day, so they can go home and feed the cows or bale hay. They are pieceworkers so once the Amish guy who installs the lights is done, he goes home.

    They'll slow down when the RV Industry tanks again, which it will and they know it, during the next economic downturn or increase in fuel costs.

    They conveniently omit all of the above in those popular RV television shows sponsored by the RVIA and their Go RVing campaigns.
  • Seems about right. It would explain why my dealer kept my trailer for almost a month to basically finish building/repairing my TT when I bought it. The Jayco being built is almost identical to my Starcraft Autumn Ridge.

    One would think that the factories would just slow down a little bit and build them right. The amount of money they must shell out to the dealers for warranty work has got to be huge. All that could be saved if they just took their time and built it right in the first place.
