[Fulltiming]

Todd, Newell starts construction in the separate chassis shop building north of the primary assembly building. The chassis is manufactured from scratch on site. When the chassis is complete, including installation of the slide room frames, the engine and the transmission, the rolling chassis is actually driven under its own power the 1/2 block to the main assembly building. The driver either stands or sits on a wooden crate during this journey. As you can see in my photos, the outside drive axle tires have not been installed at this point as the weight of the coach is significantly reduced.
