    Rick, one of the highlights of last year's Tearstock was the Factory tours at the Pleasant Valley Trailer Company where all LG's are made. While I haven 't seen any mention of the tours this year, I certainly hope to tour the factory again. Thanks for this video--very informative.

    Great find Rick!

    And as Verna noted, there were tours of the factory last years and it's interesting to see them building both the Little Guy and T@B units on two different assembly lines.  Should you ever get down to Sugar Creek, Ohio make sure you stop into the factory and check things out as it is an amazing experience!

    Thanks again for the contribution to the forum!

    Thanks I will have to check it out once I am able to get some time away from work.  Depending on what life throws at me this year will decide how soon I can make this happen  :D

    Interesting.  The process of construction looks actually very different then the process used in Sugar Creek, but with mostly the same results.  I liked the idea of how they built the cabinets, complete with appliances, before installing them inside the trailer.

    In Sugar Creek they build everything inside the T@B, building the cabinets and then installing the appliances.

    I think your water heater was just installed backwards Neal, as there should be a drain at the bottom of the water heater.  Mine is not conveniently placed, but I can still get a hose on it to drain it.

    Nope, that is not good at all.  As you said, looks like you are going to have to take that out and spin it around, if the drain is even back there.

    Brings up another thought, it looks like LG, at least early on with their T@Bs, were really trying a lot of different components and configurations.  I wonder if, with the 2014's, they have settled on a few things and they will become more standard.
