Not sure if this has been seen but it is a tour of the Bailey production in Bristol. Part 1 deals with the construction of the side, floor and roof panels. Part 2 shows the construction of the actual caravans from scratch.

Yes, we watched both on the TV and interesting it was. I know use of power tools speed the installation of fixings, but it also explains the stripped wood threads and sheared screws in the making of my caravan.

Very impressed, we had a factory tour of Swift about 20 years ago and what we saw, pieceworkers rushing like mad  put us of permanently . Hopefully more modern construction methods like those in the film will have eliminated some of the room for error.

Perhaps it needs to be more like the motor industry and assembled by robots.
