It's hard to appreciate the scale, even from that video. After being to the factory I'm still amazed that they can get anything right! The line moves so fast!!!

Maybe Jayco could show Ford and Holden a few things about manufacture and maybe just maybe we still can produce cars in Australia. I reckon they do really well especial in this financial climate. Good find too @Bushman

Does Jayco get government hand outs like Holden and Ford anyone know?

Sadly, I think they make more caravans than cars in Australia nearly. I think I read that Falcons are around 600 a month.

O well hopefully Jayco make wiser choices and hang around for the long haul.
