After 2 years and 11 months, Blowin-in-the-Wind, comes home! We pulled in for the 9am Winnebago Industries factory tour. First stop was their museum where one of the original 1967 motorhomes was on display -- Ruthie says, it looks good; so should we consider trading in our Winnebago Vista!Then on to the tour. Great to see these motorhomes being built in America, specifically Forest City, Iowa. Manufacturing is very vertically integrated. We toured the sewing shop, the cabinet shop, the frame welding, the fiberglass wall construction, and the the most interesting: The Final Assembly. With over 30 models and variations, Winnabago Industries, efficiently assembles ALL models on the same assembly line. Some serious organization to the parts as they show up for final assembly. We were also very impressed with the design and quality displayed.
