July 13th, 14th, & 15th Georgia, Tennessee, & Kentucky on I-75

We headed north on I-75 from Estero and Koreshan State Park on Saturday morning July 13th.  We had communicated with friends in Ocala, Mike and Diane Nagy and made plans to meet them for a mid afternoon brunch at Chili's  on Ocala.  We had a nice time catching up on events of the year from both families.  From Ocala we continued north and landed in Valdosta, Ga at River Park RV. 
         On Sunday we continued north and made it to Holiday Travel Park, Chattanooga, TN.  It was the best rv park we have stayed at, level spots, quiet, and a great pool which we enjoyed late in the day.
          Monday we toured the Chickamauga Battlefield visitor center and reminded ourselves of the terrible cost of war and national division.  From there we continued north on I-75 and landed just south of Cincinnati at Northern Kentucky RV Park, Dry Creek, Ky. Making good progress driving as we aim for rv factory tours in Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa.

Having lunch with Diane and Mike Nagy at Chili's in Ocala.

July 22nd & 23rd: Jayco Factory Tour, Middlebury, IN & Maumee Bay State Park, Ohio

Image
We visited the Jayco Class C factory tour on Monday.  It was a great tour.  The factory staff are 60% Amish from local farms.  The tour was very different from the other two tours we had. We were allowed to get right on the factory floor, very close to the units that were being assembled.  A Jayco product manager gave the tour.  We started with a comprehensive explanation of the chassis design as we literally stood right at a chassis.  We then followed the line and watched as walls and other equipment was added.  I now have a great understanding of the Jayco chassis design.  I am ready to build my own! At the Jayco visitor center we again got to tour new Jayco units in the back yard of the center.  After Jayco we headed east to Ohio and settled in a great state park for some r&r for two days at Maumee Bay on the western shore of Lake Erie. Our site at Ebys campground in Bristol IN Before going to the Jayco plant we had to sto...

July 18th: Winnebago Factory Tour, Forest City, Iowa

Image
From Center Point Iowa we continued north to Forest City Iowa and the Winnebago plant tours.  Winnebago must have been named after the Winnebago River which we crossed on the way there.  The Winnebago visitor center was very impressive.  They had a lot of exhibits, many new rv's to tour and many staff to answer any questions.  The Winnebago tour was also very impressive and very organized.  They drove us in mini buses to each plant after outfitting us in orange vests, safety glasses that actually fit, and great ear plugs.  The tour gave us a great understanding of how a class C RV is assembled from the chassis up.  I can't wait to try and build one myself!  At the end of the tour we looked through all the new rv's they had parked outside the visitor center.  From Forest City we set off east for Wisconsin landing in Woodman Lake Campground site #1. On the mini bus at Winnebago In front of the Winnebago visitor center The line u...
