All the Thor MC gas class Cs are made in plant 250 (I think, as that was true the last time I was in Elkhart). Thor Industries does not build spec RVs of any type. All coaches are dealer ordered and paid for completely before they leave the assembly delivery lot. If you have a dealer special order a custom coach for you, the dealer will usually pull a previously placed order of a similar coach and replace it with your order. If the Thor RV factory uses batch building, (most of the 17 plants do), you may have a long (6 month) wait if a model that is seldom ordered. If the factory is currently producing the model you want, it will be at the dealer in a couple week or less. For instance plant 750 produces: 5 Hurricane models, 5 Windsport models, 7 ACE models and 5 freedom Traveler models. The plant operates between 180 and 200 days a year and produces 1,600 to 2,000 class As per year (April thru January). Show models are produced late February and March and the production line is reconfigured.
