Wednesday -- Second Day in Red Bay

UPDATE: I got a card reader from the office, and here are the pics from yesterday.

No pictures today....... the cable from the camera to my computer seems to have failed.

Today, we went to the factory to look for a "Sunlit Sand" painted coach. We also called the production manager and asked about the production of a new model , 40QRP, which has a front kitchen like a Winnebago that we like. He told us that they had one in production, and that it was at the Belmont Paint area. We went to Belmont looking for it and the sunlit sand coach.

After chasing and finding the 40QRP, we found it, but turned out to be a 40QSP, which is the model we currently like!! It turns out that they are not ready to make the new model yet, and somebody changed the production order............ but never changed the data in the system!!

We did find the sunlit sand, and took pictures of it. It was in the paint booth, and we want to go back tomorrow and take pictures outside. We will post them whenever I get a new cable.
Here's another picture from the front with the slides in:
Here's a couple of the bathroom. Note that this model has what is called a 'Garden Tub', and our grandkids (when we take a trip with them and leave their Mom at home!!) can actually take a bath in the bottom of the shower:
Here's a closeup of the night stands added on the '08 models with a king size bed. In '07, if you got the king bed, you did not get a night stand.
Here are a couple of closeup pictures of the cornice (sp) boards and detail for the window treatment:
Here are some pictures that we took in the paint shop. The shop was very impressive. They have four (4) lines, with about 4--6 booths on each line. It appears that they put apply primer in the first booth, and then add stripes and full paint in sections as the Motorhome travels down the line. We actually first found our color scheme in a paint booth!!!
