Heartland Tour, 2007


Well, when I am down in Elkhart , at our spring rally, I like to go to R.V. Factories , and see how well (or poorly) they are built.



This spring, when we were down at the 2007 Elkhart Rally, we toured the Bigfoot R.V. Plant. Scott, one of the owners, took a group of about 15-20 of us on a COMPLETE tour of the plants- all the product lines.


Scott spent a couple of hours with us, and let us TAKE PICTURES !!!! ( most tours do not let you , are they hiding something?? ) We went from start to finish, on 3 lines that were in production that day.



They are very well built, and the workers are committed to their jobs. They do not appear too rushed, and I , and others , saw MANY quality control items in place, that we had not seen in many other plant tours, we had toured, at other times.



They are a little more expensive , than some other R.V.'s , but now we know why. You do get what you pay for.
