Do R-pods have their own factory or are they made along with another Forest River product?

R-pods, Surveyors, and NoBo's are all produced in the same facility.

I think the western factory moved to Salem, oregon. We visited the Dallas plant last summer just before they moved. We jhhave also visited the Goshen plant.
Visiting an R Pod factory is a very interesting tour. If you happen to be close, stop by with advance notice and they might give you a tour. Be aware that because they make other models at the same factory that they might not actually be making R Pod at that time. Call ahead

We visited the Dallas Oregon factory last year and got a tour.  The guide said they were planning a new factory just for R-Pods.  I thought he said it was to be in McMinville.  At the time of our visit they made R-Pods for a couple of weeks and then made Surveyors for a couple of weeks.  Interesting tour.
Enjoy Life!!

  I wonder since the r-pods are being built with Azdel the Surveyors and NoBo's will be built too with Azdel in their walls.

The new R-pod plant is at it's new location in Sheridan, Oregon. Thank's  to Furpod , he gave out the new address on the forum, in June. I was at the new plant in August, and was given a tour of the plant. A lot larger than the one they had in Dallas, Oregon. And they are still building on. Great Tour, we were there about 4 hours. It's on highway 18, and if you are going for a visit, there is a Casino a few miles west  Great stop from  the plant that you can Boondock Free. All paved lot with water  and a dump station. You just register at the Casino, with a free shuttle, and get a card with &10.00 free play. Full security.
