We were able to tour the LivinLite Factory today. Shawn, Christian, and Taylor accompanied Debbie & I through the plant. We Really appreciate everyone taking time out of their busy schedules to show us the the LivinLite operation!!!!! Thanks!!!
It looks like LivinLite has completed their transition into the new facility and have much work going on! Shawn said they will be able to get back to specialty build request they reduced during the move.
After seeing the aluminum floors, aluminum tube structures, aluminum frame, aluminum roofs, aluminum skins, and overall large amount of aluminum used building critical areas, I understand why our 5 year old CampLite 11 is in such great condition.

the fifth wheel really look like a regular one because of the color at first I though it wasn't a livin lite
Thanks Bill -- It's great to see the new factory. When I visited the old one in Wakarusa a few years ago they were tripping over themselves. It is nice to see the new factory affords them a far more comfortable work environment --- sooo much bigger! It also appears some of their fabrication techniques/systems have changed. For instance in Wakarusa I did not see any walls that weren't already skinned -- I think they were making them offsite and when assembled onto the chassis & floor they looked more finished than your pics show.
Did you see inside the Ford truck camper? I imagine that camper's upholstered interior looks pretty luxurious!
Did not see inside the 5th wheel, but did see a Ford Camper under construction.
Thanks!

The Ford Camper looks nice!
