Before You Go…

Before you head to an RV manufacturing plant to experience a factory tour, check their website first. Some RV facilities only offer tours on certain days or during certain times.

Try to make a reservation whenever possible. That way, you’re guaranteed a spot on the tour and can take your time traveling to the factory.

Don’t see a particular brand of RV listed above?

That doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t over free public tours of the factory. You’ll need to contact the manufacturer directly to see if they can give you a tour of their factory. Many offer private tours by appointment only.

Another reason you might not see a particular brand of RV listed here is due to the fact that they’re manufactured by someone else. Yes, some RV plants make more than one brand of recreational vehicle. Often, with large RV corporations, you will find several different RV brand names that are all members of that RV family being constructed at the same location. Thor is one example of an RV manufacturer with several brands constructed under its roof.

Finally, there are a number of RV manufacturers that provide virtual tours of the facility online. Some do this instead of opening their doors for public tours, others do so in order to complement their offerings. If the brand you’re interested in isn’t listed above, check out these virtual RV plant tours. You may find a suitable replacement for a physical tour of the plant. (Hey, a video tour is better than nothing!)

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money -- so I write about "outside the box" ideas that most wouldn't think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I'm truly passionate about. I've worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo -- to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV.
