Wondering where we went? What Mecca is to Muslims, Forest City Iowa is to Winnebago owners. We made it in last night, and Tom had an 0700 service appointment this morning. Precisely at 0700 legions of Winnebago service technicians march out to meet the faithful, waiting with their prayers of repair.
The holy technician re-repaired several items that our local California dealer had "repaired". They also installed metal valve stems to make it easier to check tire pressures. Our California had demanded $580 dollars for the chore that Winnebago did for $108.
We did the factory tour. Pretty dang impressive. Sure, it's got corporate spin written all over it, but the manufacturing is quite impressive. Watched 3 parallel assembly lines cranking along. Actually saw several View/Navions under construction, it gave us a good feeling. We're leaving town rested and rejuvenated, and once again with a happy refridgerator. Besides, you have to love the original owner of the company. "Booze, Sex, and Weekends - you can never take them away from Americans!"
Tomorrow we changed plans. Time to duck up to Wisconsin for a night. We haven't seen enough cows yet.
