We were so excited to be able to film the Outdoors RV factory tour! We had a private tour so we managed to capture a lot of details. This is part 1 of our 3 part series. In Part 1 we cover how the chassis is made, how the floor is constructed, some of what makes it a 4 season and off-road capable RV, and how the water & propane line testing is done. See all of the topics covered with timestamps below.
