Peterson Industries Factory Tour

My wife and I took the Excel factory tour while the service techs worked on our 34IKE.

We were impressed with the tour and plant. So much skill and effort goes into making each Excel trailer. You can tell that they are proud of what they do. Extreme attention to detail. They don't slap them together.

Everyone was friendly and kind. I visited with Bryan and he is excited for their future.

The visit made me to appreciate my Excel even more. I encourage Excel owners and prospective buyers to take the tour.

The service techs have been fabulous. The repairs are better than new. Great experience.

Russel, did you see any Excel/Hitchicher's on the line? While on my recent tour I saw lots of changes in the build processes from my tour a few years ago. What repairs did you need? I'm glad things are better then last week when we were there.

Great pictures Russel. We have our tour scheduled for 8 Sept.

I also spoke to Ralph and we're getting our wheels upgraded to 17.5" wheels while we're there.

Doc, I didn't hardly recognize you without your scuba helmet on!!! Usually when someone of your stature is in town, they put their name on the Excel marquee!!! What's up with that??? They clap and celebrate when I leave town!!

Glad thing are going good for ya! If you really want to know what's happenin' in SC go to the "Second Cup" for breakfast early. The crowd will clue you in!!

Glad things are going good for ya! rockin'
