Newell Coach Factory Tour: Hand Built In Oklahoma! (2+ Million Dollar RV Build)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The tour concludes in the upholstery shop, where the presenter showcases the quality of their in-house work. While some components like driver/passenger seats, couches, and recliners are outsourced, all wall coverings and other interior soft goods are upholstered by hand within the factory. He shows examples of hand-stitched end-of-slide panels and highlights the various rolls of fabric and foam used. The presenter emphasizes that Newell Coach, despite its smaller production volume (26-28 units per year), benefits from a highly experienced, hands-on workforce who know each coach and its owner personally. This personalized approach, coupled with a training program for internal promotions, fosters a culture of quality and pride in American-made craftsmanship.

Goal: Showcase the in-house upholstery and emphasize custom craftsmanship.

What they say

doors they're done they lift the garage doors everybody gets a little cart dips it over and they install to minimize the time that the air has changed from this regulated state yeah our own upholstery work here is amazing i think we don't upholster is uh the driver passenger seat and the couches and recliners but the walls and everything for instance you got the hand stitching right down through here and this right here is gonna be the end of a slide obviously we'll have a caddy corner tv how are you trying to get all cliches and stupid but that's just the truth it's pretty cool when that's what's being created it is that's why it's cool the fact that it's created in america that's why i'm so fascinated with it because just like i know what it feels like to take a car and to build it and you make brackets and you wire it and it's like your baby and when it's done you did everything with your own two hands like that's exactly what's going on in here exactly you know what it is and you know we we are american-made we are american-made a lot of the vendors we use are local vendors around here um we do a i mean our slides are made in canada valid slides you saw valid we use um cf is german uh company porsche design helps us so we do have some overseas help but almost everything else is american made in here and that's really freaking cool as we continue to grow in advance for our small company it only builds 26 or 28 units a year um so we don't have like a whole engineering wing or nothing like that but what it does is we have everyone's very hands on each coach's build so we do so few that we know everyone's names you know who's buying it trying to get a trend of what they like what they don't like people start picking up on that and so maybe by the third coach they have they kind of know that they're learning the person with the coach so it's kind of neat it's crazy to think that one's being made right now or somebody like me is going to be driving around in 25 years wondering wondering how it started
