While our RV Coach is being repaired we got to go on a tour of the NEWMAR factory. This was a real treat to see how these giant 'rolling condo's' are made. This is the fabric center where all the cloth items in the Coach are made.
Each year Newmar has different fabric collections for each style of Coach. Beautiful copper colors, raw gold silks, deep Burgundy and sage greens. It's all so nice. When someone needs a replacement it can be found easily for the customer - impressive.
Moving over to another building we get to follow a Coach from the Spartan Chassis beginning.
Every detail is carefully looked at as we discover the inside parts of the RV Coach. So that's where the holding tanks are!
The floors are custom made all in one creation. Then laid into place before any walls go up.
Then miles of wiring, cables, walls, cabinets, pipes and technical systems all are fit into carefully arranged placements.
The huge front cap is one molded piece, and it fits into place like a glove on an hand. And the roof is amazing too. The whole roof is one long molded piece, and it's lifted by suction and put into place. No chance of leaking in these RVs'.
Then the meticulous paint work begins. These Coaches go through 2 buildings being created. It's so interesting to watch the process. At the beginning the Chassis wheels are put on air floating 'dollies' that when the air is on, these huge Coaches can simply be pushed from one area to another with the workers hands!!
And the completed interiors are fabulous to see! Wow!
Walking down the line of finished works of art, it's been amazing to see how these are made.
Our gracious tour guide was wonderful to show us around. Thanks Newmar for a great tour and a great Coach. We love it!
