Cardinal Plant tour.





























A while after I bought my "New Cardinal", I went down to Elkhart to buy some "stuff", for my rig ( Duhh, you have to get some goodies), and after I finished shopping at R.V Surplus, a GREAT STORE in Elkhart, I stopped by the Birthplace, of my rig.












I showed up un-announced and inquired if I could get a tour.......The Folks at Cardinal ( A Forest River Division) were MORE THAN HAPPY to help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!













I found out a lot of interesting things about my rig, and how it was Built!! I was impressed with their Quality control, and saw some of the Engineering staff, on the line, looking things over....nice. I found out a number if things, to identify which features a rig had built into it, and learned a lot more about my own rig. Thanks Guys!!!

Soo Trip.







Well, shortly after I bought my NEW RIG, I set out to clean it up, swapped the tires for NEWER ones, etc................... THEN..............It was time for a ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!






I went up to one of my Fav. Places,.... Soo, St. Marie , Then a stop at the Mackinaw bridge.
