How low can some people go when they start attacking a poor old bed ridden man

There is a name for neilnruth, jimricho, and brickies but unfortunately on a family forum like this I cant use it. It has something to do with their unknown parentage though LOL

By the way I found the You Tube worth watching had been told how they do it but found it hard to believe they put the floor covering down first

I had the good fortune to be taken on a pre-arranged guided tour of the Coromal factory in WA (they don't do public tours) and was very impressed in the way they went about constructing them and the quality of their work.
They have cells throughout the factory which all do one particular job assembling and the components (eg; cupboards etc) and a new van with chassis and floor as stated is the way this factory does it, until the final assembly area. I was quite impressed.

Good to see you are impressed Duh. I have heard that things are improving slowly.
Before we bought our van we toured 3 factories/production lines in 2007. Amazing what good things you see and what you see you would never do.
I recommend that anyone having a van built watch it go through production line (as we did) OR at least tour the factory.
If you see it built it is easier to maintain and find things.

Very interesting Pete as you said, thanks.
I'm glad I went through Coromal Baz, I ended up sticking to my old model one for a bit longer, it never let me down either.
I also had a Jayco, both had their good and bad points and as you know, no caravan is perfect !
Time lapse video of a caravan under construction... I found it quite interesting
