Winnebago Factory movie

I watched a great one hour movie last night on the show titled "Fantasic Factories" about the Winne factory. It follows a new Vectra from frame to roll out and is really interesting to see how all of the pieces are made and then put together. It's informative to see how they easily do some of the things while it is in pieces that is extremely difficult for us to do after it's built like the plumbing and electrical systems. You can also see that Winne does a pretty good job of making most of their own parts and fittings.

Two years ago I toured the factory and was very impressed.
everyone on the line is not only doing their job but checking on the station before them for correctness ( if that's a word) I did see the TV Show I think it is on Discovery or History Channel
