I thought so. I would love to see mine being put together. Although I might get a bit too involved...LOL. As the old saying goes... "Sometimes it's better not knowing how the sausage is made..."

Yeah, interesting. Wish I could get a schematic of the RV so I could figure out where they put things.

OK, this really makes me want to take the factory tour. I love it--except for that ND banner hanging from the rafters...
Very cool though. Thanks for posting the link. Since I'm not on FB, I never would have seen it.

The ND flag was one of the first things put in the plant after the roof was put on.

That's too funny. At least you guys have a legit reason for liking ND--it's in your backyard. Now imagine having to put up with all the rabid ND fans in PA (when PSU is in our backyard) because ND fans are everywhere. People root for ND not because of location, but because of the Catholic identity. And Catholics are everywhere, not just in IN!

I'm not on FB either but rather found it by Googling XLR pictures. Glad I did for both our sakes!

It might be here as early as tomorrow, but definitely by Friday. Man, we are about to pop! Yesterday was 12 weeks to the day from when we placed our order. It will also be nice to get our dining room table back. It's covered with accessories right now.
It might actually have been on the line during those pics since it came off the line on 1/8, but I didn't see it. hehe...

Ours is on the line this week. Scheduled to come off line on the 20th. A day after my birthday. Guess that's a good present. However, it then has to head to paint for a couple of weeks before going back to the plant for final bolt on stuff like awnings etc. So, I've got a few weeks to a month before it hits the dealer.

Great pictures here. I especially like the roller set up on the wheels. These factories always amaze me, I agree with above, would love a tour.

Hey Bob, I have a question that I can't find on the net. With my getting the three ac's I will have the load management system. Where will that be located? Right in the main control panel area?
