Plant 58 is in Nappanee, it is the only Class A manufacturing plant that GSC has. The towables plants are also located in Nappanee and so is the Fairmont Homes manufactured homes plant. The Class C plant used to be in Goshen, but I believe it was moved, I am not sure where.

The 28 days for some of the class A coaches sounds about right, from start of the process, frame work installation, to the complete end including the painting.

We have toured the plant on four different occasions, found it interesting and something different each time. We especially enjoyed the lamination, where the sidewalls are made, operation very interesting. But this is usually not part of the regular daily tour. It was part of the Streamers tour last year.

The cabinet shop is also very interesting. The state of the art paint shop that is owned by Gulf Stream, but operated/leased by Mike's Custom Painting, is also located by the Class A plant.
