Today at 900 we went to the main office for a tour of the plant where they make the motorhome from scratch. Brenda and Max did the tour. We had a video 1st and after the video they gave us safety goggles and radio with ear piece so we can hear them talk. We went inside the plant where they make them showed us from the start ie wood carvings,cabinets, plumbing slide outs, electrical wirings reservoirs for water and for gray and black waters, ceiling,roof,engines, freightliners, etc. Almost everything is made by hands, workers are all happy and nice. You can tell that they love their jobs. The workers start at 6:00 am and goes home at 1430. It was a very interesting and informative tour. They have a 1976 Allegro on display outside the visitor information office. They started making Tiffin Motorhomes in 1972.
After the tour we went to see Bob Tiffin in the office but he was at lunch and won't be back for another 20 minutes so we decided to go to Piggly Wiggly for lunch. Had pork chop, mashed potatos and green beans while Earl had meatloaf, mashed potatos and baked beans. Our lunch cost us $4.69 each. After lunch we went back to see Bob Tiffin and met with him.We thanked him and had a little chat. Bob is the nicest guy we'd ever meet. Everybody in the office were very nice also.After meeting with him we went back to the campground and went to the Allegro Club office. Jimmy Johnson was there. Looked at the samples of Allegro jackets and coats. They didn't have our size so we just asked for a catalog to take home. Had left over rice, crabmeat and spam for dinner while Earl had Chicken Lime wings.
