I have been to both the Northwood and Host manufacturing plants in Oregon to see how they build their campers. Host starts with the floor and basement adds the center construction before the walls and roof. Much of the camper is within the slides, so those are put together almost fully before adding them to the construction. Northwood also starts with the basement and adds some of the interior before adding the walls and roof. They have more work inside joining the interior to the exterior walls and roof than Host, but their designs are less complex overall. The walls are actually the greatest difference between these two. Host frames out every opening in the walls and ceiling while Northwood does not.
ya I haven't been to the adventurer factory, the only one I have been to is bigfoot.
Bighfoot was neet, they make the bottom shell build the ineriot into it then drop the top shell on.
I have seen videos how adventurer do it and its like you were saying. I guess I wasn't clear in my previous post they put the moduals on the base then they stand the walls and add the roof. so probably simular to nmost ofther. do everything you can from outside conection wise then close it in and finish it off.
I also like adventurer's stance on reporting real weight. they have two weights, so the outside sticker lists the weight of the camper at 3,096 pounds with full water and full propane tanks. the inside sticker is that weight plus any factory added options. so realy the only weight you have to worry about is the cloths, food and camping tools you pack. I wish all the manufacturers would do this. AF for example doesnt even tell you about the 350ish lb mandatory option package in the weight, they don't give you the water or propane added in either. not many do. Bigfoot does, they fill up the tanks and everything outside the factory when they do the predelivery PDI and give and exact weight, well not everyone any more they know how much weight it adds so they only do one once and a while as quality control.
