I recently visited the Coachmen RV plant in Indiana. I took a bunch of photos of RVs being made and wrote a report about it all on my blog. If you're interested in that you can read it by clicking HERE. There is plenty of other free stuff on the blog. Feel free to look around and sign up for free email notices when I make new posts.

I din't see any gremlins in your pic. They must already be hiding in the RVs!

Are there any shows in particular? Shows that are on regularly?

It does seem as if there would be all kinds of stuff flying every which way, doesn't it? There isn't much holding it all together. Is that what you mean?


Yes, there isn't much there.

Great write-up. Now where is the free stuff?

I'm surprised that they let him take pictures. IIRC that was verboten at the various tours I have taken.
