- scottsniderExplorer IISorry friends I thought that they only had the one Factory, the one that produced the Coleman Hybrid trailer.
- LwiddisExplorer IIHey, can't we just "candy coat" all our responses so downtheroad won't get unhappy? Particularly on the reasonable inquires such as where is the Thor factory and I'll be traveling that way this summer for some parts? ...once I find out where it is.
- jrobert01ExplorerHe probably was going to Indiana and assumed the factory was there.

In my circle of friends it is common to ridicule each other when we say or do something ridiculous because we know we are going to catch hell when it's our turn.
It is now this man's turn.
Let's go fishing.
Strangely enough, where I work we've found ridicule to be the most effective teaching tool......
It's been used in the military for centuries.

I Am in Elkhart Middlebury Bristol Goshen all the time--- and sometimes when I need to get parts I end up getting the parts at Bontrager Surplus on us 12 in Michigan ,sometimes I get the part at the RV parts wholesale or RV parts in Elkhart ---so it depends ---what is it you need??????
On the other side of White Pigeon is Johnson's with a large supply as well and much more in tires, brakes, axles and wheels. Between the two, you can pretty much build an RV from the ground up. I visited both just last week. - navegatorExplorerThor and Odin are friends of mine, I am a Viking, I will go that way to sack and plunder!
That is the way!

I can answer the "I'm going that way" Question.
As others have said Thor has factories all over.. Indiana, California, to name just two states where factories are located.. i've been to one in Elkhart a few times.
So. to answer.. no matter which way you are going you are going towards one of 'em... But alas, Is it the RIGHT one.. and I can't help him there.
Call the THOR cuss-some-more (Customer) service line and ask.. That is the easy way and in fact the ONLY way to do it.
THAT way -(above - WAY to logical)- or the Highway.
BTW - this was cheap entertainment!
Must remember to ask about "whatever" when I'm heading -that way..:C
For the OP: Frank Sinatra said it all - "I Did It MY WAY".
Hope it works for you too!

However Dutchman is also built on 20 between Middlebury and Shipshewana.
Which leads to the question people asking ---which Dutchman model ????
what part do you need?????
and You need to find out from the company if they even sell the parts ---there lots of times the parts are in a completely different City.
Once again ---if it's a component of the trailer--- canvas tires lights water heater
The company doesn't even sell these individual items ---you have to buy it from either a distributor or a parts house--- so back to the question
what part what model ????you could drive to Elkhart Goshen Shipshewana Middlebury Bristol and still not find what you need.
