Winnebago...

On our drive south, we couldn’t miss the Winnebago factory in Forest City, Iowa. The tour was quite unlike anything we’d seen in other motorhome factory tours. Winnebago was truly a manufacturing plant complete with some degree of automation on a large scale. (Didn't get to see the "drop test" -but, when we came back from the tour to a broken refrigerator, we would have considered a drop test for our "Maby Dick". John quickly became a refrigerator mechanic- studying wiring diagrams, checking fuses and through the process of elimination, found the problem. Heading into the Labor Day weekend without a refrigerator wasn’t a problem that we really wanted to deal with!
