Toured the factory where Sophie was made. The problem with doing factory tours is that i get so involved in what the guide is saying I forget to take photos at times.

Tours are limited to 10 or less
Sprinter chassis
Tanks and floor installed
Framing for the “house”
Molded exterior fiberglass parts
Wiring bundles. Each individual wire is stamped with an identifying code along its length.
Parts for each RV in the assembly line are kept separate
Masked for painting with clearcoat
Excellence in everything they do
Supply chain problems affect every business. Once the missing part or parts arrive they will be shipped out.

A free outdoor museum showing what life in the old days was like in the old days.

It’s a peaceful easy felling kind of place.

The good old days at least pricewise.

Not your usual TV/Movie western jail cell.

Where the respectable citizens congregated on Sunday mornings.

Then there was the less respectable element. We’ve see this same epitaph in other locations during our travels over the years, but it always seems to generate a chuckle.
