LD Production Hrs. vs SOB January 29, 2005, 01:04:30 pm Yahoo Message Number: 50096When we were in the ordering process last year, I beleive it was Ed that commented that when he attended RV manufacturers conventions the SOB manufacturers were all attempting to get below 100 hrs. per unit, but that LD required over 500 hrs. per unit to construct.

I believe he said a chassis is in production about 6 weeks. 500 hours works out to roughly 62 eight hour days and assuming that an average of two or more workers may be assigned to a chassis at any given time, that roughly matches up with 6 weeks of total production time.
