I love this, you actually get to see how main sections are put together.... Especially the frame and the different I-beams and their widths..

Outstanding part one JD. Can't wait for the sequel! By far this is the best factory tour out there on YouTube.

I am glad you got to film it with the workers actually doing the work. Makes it feel like we are there in the moment instead of "after hours". Makes it more authentic and not like the factory cleaned up everything we "shouldn't" see before opening up for a public showing. Life unscripted more or less.

Thank you very much to you, as well as to Coachman for allowing us to come along with you on the exploration. Top notch team.

Dude that is very cool! That's probably the best informative video yet in the YouTube world. Thanks so much for doing this series. 🙂 love all your video's and information. Keep up the awesome work.

Awesome to see what went into building my Chappy! Thanks, and can't wait for part 2!

Thanks for showing us! I like how they don't look like they are rushing around to put it together.

It's amazing how step by step rv's trailers are put together and different materials and quality parts in building each rv.

Love these factory tours. Always great to have a better understanding of what is behind the walls.

Always amazed at what they can do with pallet wood.. The base units and high end luxury are virtually made the same, just the more money units have more lipstick.

Love seeing the inner workings of the plant as they make the rig! Outstanding.

Thank you! Great series. I am trying to find a full-time coach and did not even know about Coachman! So glad this series popped up. It really helps to understand how RVs are put together. I visualized it, especially walls all wrong. I really appreciate Coachman doing this. I would love to know more about lamination especially the outside walls. I pictured the fiberglass/azdel all wrong! When one manufacturer said they had 3 inch walls, i thought it was 3" of azdel! When things go wrong, or you want a change, it helps now to picture the internal and problem solve. Very interesting!

Great video, props to the GM for allowing us to see. Interesting they run wires through the frame cross members without protection, at least it wasn't visible in the video.

This is so cool JD. I am liking this series.

Thank you so much BTBRV!
This video gives you a great insight on RV construction.

Cool video and nice insider information. The condition of the workshop floor starting at 9:30 is driving my OCD crazy not to mention the safety inspectors.

[myleshansel]

Great video, can not wait for the rest of the build.

[takeitallin]

I watched this one twice. Extremely interesting to see how my own '17 Chaparral was likely built. I was impressed with the apparent integrity of the azdel walls, the single piece floor and roof. Great video JD. I see what you mean by Fred being a bit on the quiet side. Thanks for all your work on this series in particular. Good stuff. Safe travels. bg

[clintontate]

Wow this is so interesting never new how involved it is to make a rv you got me hooked .

[marthamryglod]

This would be the best field trip as a kid

[tylerdavis]

I love knowing how they are actually built

[originalcanuck]

Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy seeing and understanding the assembly of items we use nearly every day. What a mess of wires though! Almost every shot seemed to have someone messing with wires and large 'birdsnests'. You'd think they could improve quality and save some assembly time actually designing harnesses that drop into place or through channels instead of using the tried and true home building technique of pulling wires... Anyhow, looking forward to part 2.
