To insert a picture, you will need to click on the arrow icon to expand the options available to you. You will then see a tree icon that will allow you to pick a photo to upload. The max size of the photo is 500K, so you may need to scale down the resolution of the photo before you will be able to upload it.
Now on to the cool part...how cool it was to see your trailer in its final stage of production. I'll be looking forward to seeing the photos.

Today my wife and I traveled to Dallas, Oregon to get a guided tour of the plant and see our 171 in its final assembly. Jasmine took us thru the plant and patiently explained each of the work areas and how they are created from scratch. Took a number of pictures and will have some fun trying to load them to this forum. In any event, also met the plant manager and together they could not have been more accommodating. They answered all of our questions, and showed us how an rpod is created from cutting aluminum channel and welding them together to create the side walls, to adding the cabinets, electric and plumbing and wrapping the final assembly with the fiberglass covering. Then on to final inspection and testing. Most interesting process. Saw our 171 in final assembly and it should be available for our dealer to pick it up tomorrow and prep it for delivery early next week. Although the wait has been excruciating, it will be well worth it. We have our first trip scheduled for a week from tomorrow. Heading to southern Oregon beaches for a look see. I have taken a number of pictures and will try and post them. Well, guess that won't work. Need some hand holding to add the pics. Had a great time and again the staff could not have been nicer and they genuinely want all owners to be happy. The workers on the line seem to be doing all that they can to turn out a quality product. WAITING FOR DELIVERY!! |
