July 25th & 26th: Buffalo New York visiting Elaine's brother Gary and his family

From Geneva, Ohio we continued east and landed in Buffalo New York to visit Elaine's brother Gary, his wife Molly, and their daughter Andrea, and her three kids: Nina, Lila, and AJ who were visiting from Webster. We spent time drive to an ice cream parlor all in our rv.  We also toured the naval ships on display in downtown Buffalo.

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.

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...
