In the main barn!
Construction has started, and within the first day of entering the main building (after 2 days for chassis prep) we've got a roof and walls. We are currently in the wiring stage. Right on schedule!

Are you in the factory taking pictures or did Newmar send pictures to you. The reason I ask, I read where the factory was closing to tours this month. Appreciate any information you have on this.

Was disappointed to have them suspend tours, but Newmar is taking the pictures. Sent 9 today, and have promised to keep them coming.

Nice, exciting time to see your coach coming to life! It's amazing how in 4 days it's practically done other than paint, awnings, & quality control!

I was shocked how much got done in probably <8 hours of production. Chassis rolled into main building late yesterday afternoon, and these were taken at ~1 PM.

Kristi and Ashley are helping get photos. No I don't have a VIN or engine serno yet. Should I or do I need early for some reason?

We wanted the vin and serial number to run funding through our bank and insurance company. We tend to take care of the details early.

Production Day 2
Oh no! You think you have troubles with your FWS? Mine fell out on the road somewhere and is missing!
Does anyone else see a stormtrooper?

Did you have to ask them to take pictures or did Newmar just do it? Phil mentioned they would take them when he called with the production date but I didn't ask if I needed to call and request when we got close.

My dealer gave me a heads up that Newmar was to suspend visits and suggested I call customer service to request pictures be taken during production. I don't think this is only due to the closure but in fact they have taken pics for others that couldn't visit before.

Hi Dr Phil, you can get the VIN of your coach by calling the sales dept. We got ours even though the coach is not due into production until the 16th of Feb.
I wanted to get the coach registered with Spartan so we can attend their maintenance seminar in July.
