[The Gritz Carlton]

It's a good call!! It's a great unit and you'll love the quality. When I was there in December, one of my many questions, the day we spent touring 3 plants with the Inside Sales guy, was about the consistent quality issues and how they filter them back through production. He said..."it's all about which plant they are built in...some plants really have issues with keeping people long enough". He also told me how they are starting to build lines of like models rather than this model following that model down the line, etc. The one thing he stressed...Plant 250 is our best Plant! Plant 250 is where the Super C's are built. We toured it and was really impressed how everything has a second eye as it passed through production. The QC team at the end was pretty impressive as well. Lots of issues both inside the coach and outside were caught, tagged and repaired right there...then it went back through inspections. Even the plumbing system is pressure tested at the end of the line. We've been really pleased so far with the built quality. BUT...mostly the F550 chassis, which was built in a commercial truck plant, then delivered to Thor...complete. It's all about which Plant they are built in since they operate as nearly independent companies of each other.
