PT Factory Tour

I will be in Goshen/Elkhart area during and after easter.

How do I arrange a factory tour ? Where is the factory located ? A friend of mine bought a PT 5'th wheel and I want to take pictures of the factory for him It is a shame I will be missing the built of his 5'th wheel by a week or two.

The Prime Time plant is in Wakarusa, IN, about 10 or 12 miles from Goshen. Give them a call at (574) 862-3001 and they should be able to help you arrange something.

Thanks Bob !!! I had an awesome factory tour ! The difference in attitude in satisfying the customers speaks VOLUMES !!!!! If I were shopping for a 5'th wheel I would definitely go for a sabre or preferably for a Sanibel !

I have some pictures I will post when I am back home !

Good to hear that you enjoyed the tour. You'd better be shopping for a Crusader (not Sabre) or Sanibel or PT won't let you back in the plant.

Wait a minute, they were producing both right ? ? Or did I get into the Chivas too much get the right names ? The factory said Sabre and he trailers were crusader and the Great guy giving he tour mentioned Sanibel several times. Actually there was a nice gut about to get a sanibel, I should have given him the url for the FRF !

LOL - no you did not see a Sabre on your tour. Only Sanibels and Crusaders. Glad you enjoyed it.
