I was in that assembly facility last May. They build the Alpine, Avalanche and Laredo Mid Profile in that building. Per industry standards it is a low output assembly building. About half the output of the Montana assembly line. I really think this equates to a better built unit. We also toured the Cougar assembly line. A world of difference in the construction materials, especially the framing.

Wow! You gotta be on pins and needles with excitement! Thanks for sharing the photos. Looking forward to hearing of your first journey! We have bounced our Alpine up and down the highways and byways to the tune of around 80,000 miles (fulltime) and it is still tight!

That's a beautiful trailer Tom. I figure I would already be in the parking lot ready to sleep over....or, sleep in the unit!!! I know you are excited and hope pick up day goes perfectly.

That’s the dealer. General RV in Ashland Va. it was finished at Keystone on the Thursday after I initially posted. It took another week for it to make it to the dealer. General recently bought this facility. It has 22 bays now and they are adding another 28.

They may sell the Alpines & Grand Designs at the same dealer, but fairly certain the Alpine built by Keystone owned by Thor & Grand Design Reflections/Solitudes now owned by Winnebago don't share any assembly facilities.

How has your experience with General RV in Ashland been? I live close to that dealer.

Congratulations. That's exciting stuff!!. About how long did it take to get your new Alpine once you ordered it? We ordered a 3700 back on March 2nd. We are getting very anxious. Good luck with your new 5er.
