the Rockwood
Trailer factory
I was wrong. The trailer factory
was amazing.
Indiana is known as the RV (Recreational
Vehicle)
capital with about 80% being built here.
The majority of workers
were Amish and
employed because they have great work
ethics. The factory was working on a
production bonus and boy,
were they
working fast!
28 trailers are built a day and surprisingly,
every one built is pre-sold.
The
chassis starts at the beginning of a huge
conveyer belt and is moved along for each
workstation to complete its part
of the build.
At the end the completed trailer is lined up
to await shipping. It’s amazing to look at our
trailer
and know that it only took about an
hour and a half to build!
Chassis waiting for their turn on the conveyerbelt
The chassis is tipped on it's side while all the
'underneath stuff' is installed.
The inside is laid out and positioned.
The walls go up ....
.... and the roof goes on.
The insides are kitted out and everything is
tested and quality checked.
