I've seen extensive computer record-keeping at the repair facility, upholstery and carpentry shops (just to mention a few). It's hardly thinkable that a coachowner believes this multi-million dollar business operates on a pen-and-pencil system!
The Camp Red Bay is an Allegro Club operation, I believe, is not Tiffin per se, but under a separate operation; just located on Tiffin property. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Just stating my observations at Camp Red Bay/Repair Center and nothing to do with the manufacturing process....
Henry Ford invited the assembly line for cars....Tiffin invented and has perfected the assembly line for rvs.
My thoughts were expressed from experience in automating...implementing technology into businesses/facilities such as Camp Red Bay and the repair center. Ideas from come from several visits to CRB/Repair Center over the last few years....
Modern technology via computers...ipads....smart phones has increased profits...scheduling ..labor costs...customer satisfaction in all type of service related industries
Why did CRP and the repair center stop taking appointments/reservations for service a year or so ago? Unable to plan and schedule who was coming and what work they need done and the time to complete the work?
And yes....All I observed was the"sneaker network"
Perfect example in my opinion of how technology could be used during a customer visit to CRB/Repair Center.....
The great guy that comes buy to visit with you early the next morning after your arrival at CRB........ the info and requests for repairs and service he gathers could be entered into a ipad at the very minute of his visit etc....
Proper software would then handle the request....for a technician to do the work at his or her work station/service area etc.....
Instead of the paper work riding around on the dash of his Ford Escort wagon for 2 to 3 hours... the data is entered into the system ASAP...etc....
Just my thoughts.....
