Jim, I don't want to "rain on your parade" but those sweet little Amish workers are paid piecemeal. They make or assemble X amount of parts per day and go home. They are no better or worse than other assembly workers in other fields.
We've been through many manufacturer tours and they all look nice on the outside. There are tons of poor quality control messages on these RV Forums. That's why most of us old timers suggest your final purchase to be made through a local dealer because chances are you'll need them for warranty work.
Glad you're happy with your choice.
Spot on. I've also heard that they don't work past noon and the factory production stops dead in it's tracks. "Amish craftsmanship" is an urban myth that won't go away.
I am shocked at some of the BAD work I've seen in TTs from Indiana. The manufacturers don't seem to care at all about how bad the quality is. I've even read about a few cases where TTs were so bad that the manufacturer replaced the entire TT with a new one rather than fix anything.
I would look into Nash, Outdoors RV & Arctic Fox (all owned by the same company) which are made in Oregon - that is if you can get them where you are. Don't know about their workforce but at least it's not Amish. Any of these 3 appear to have a much better reputation than others.
