Sign up for the tour, it is rated one of the top 10 factory tours in the US.

Great tour! Look things over and ask questions about any new procedures/changes in manufacturing the 2014's, and report back. We will be happy to hear what's new.

The cost of the coffee is built into the price of the "life is good" shirts at the company store.

The only new thing I saw was the new glass (marked experimental ) really thin already tinted. I have a 72 so, many things have changed. But was really cool to see them put together. Almost like having backstage passes to awesomeness!

If you want pictures, order a new trailer. They will let you take pictures of your trailer during the build...

If the trailer was more camp ready I would. Working through the corroded tail and backup lights, redoing floor and bedding. Can visitors stop without camping?

Definitely. The best day for a drive in is Saturday. Potluck & raffle & white elephant gift exchange all happen that evening if you are interested in any of those. Or just come and shoot the stuff with us. The schedule of events is listed on that thread. Will you have it camp ready by October? There is another rally in your backyard (Findley state park) end of october
