>> narrator: filigree glass is a
3
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,300
Highly advanced form of
4
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:55,433
Glassmaking.
5
00:00:55,433 --> 00:00:56,833
The artists first produce
6
00:00:56,833 --> 00:00:58,433
Threads of colored glass, then
7
00:00:58,433 --> 00:01:00,167
Weave these threads together in
8
00:01:00,167 --> 00:01:01,967
Intricate patterns, encasing
9
00:01:01,967 --> 00:01:03,933
Them within clear crystal.
10
00:01:03,933 --> 00:01:05,300
Then they use complex
11
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:07,167
Glassmaking techniques to shape
12
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:08,733
These patterned rods into
13
00:01:08,733 --> 00:01:11,500
Breathtaking works of art.
14
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:13,500
The filigree glass technique was
15
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:15,467
Invented in the 1500s by master
16
00:01:15,467 --> 00:01:17,400
Glassmakers in murano, italy.
17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,067
Their then-secret process
18
00:01:19,067 --> 00:01:20,867
Incorporated ancient methods
19
00:01:20,867 --> 00:01:22,900
From mesopotamia, the birthplace
20
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:24,900
Of glassmaking some 2,000 years
21
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:26,267
Earlier.
22
00:01:26,267 --> 00:01:28,200
It all begins with a blend of
23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,167
Mostly silica sand, soda ash,
24
00:01:30,167 --> 00:01:31,467
And lime.
25
00:01:31,467 --> 00:01:32,933
They heat the mix to almost
26
00:01:32,933 --> 00:01:34,667
2,400 degrees fahrenheit,
27
00:01:34,667 --> 00:01:36,600
Melting it over several hours
28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,100
Into lead-free liquid crystal.
29
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,067
With a steel rod called a punty,
30
00:01:41,067 --> 00:01:42,967
The glassmakers roll some molten
31
00:01:42,967 --> 00:01:44,800
Crystal on a metal table as it
32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,267
Cools and solidifies --
33
00:01:46,267 --> 00:01:48,067
A shaping technique known as
34
00:01:48,067 --> 00:01:48,800
Marvering.
35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,333
Then they use the post they've
36
00:01:50,333 --> 00:01:51,800
Shaped to pick up a piece of
37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,333
Densely colored glass called a
38
00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:54,700
Color bar.
39
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:56,367
They melt the color on the end
40
00:01:56,367 --> 00:01:57,567
Of the crystal post.
41
00:01:57,567 --> 00:01:59,167
At the same time, they heat
42
00:01:59,167 --> 00:02:01,067
Another color bar into molten a
43
00:02:01,067 --> 00:02:01,600
State.
44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,133
Then they perform a process
45
00:02:03,133 --> 00:02:04,500
Called overlaying.
46
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,167
They push the molten colored
47
00:02:06,167 --> 00:02:08,067
Glass over the other color bar,
48
00:02:08,067 --> 00:02:09,733
Then marver until the colored
49
00:02:09,733 --> 00:02:12,067
Glass symmetrically encases it.
50
00:02:12,067 --> 00:02:14,233
They encase the color in clear
51
00:02:14,233 --> 00:02:16,367
Crystal and reheat some more,
52
00:02:16,367 --> 00:02:18,467
Then prepare a new bit of clear
53
00:02:18,467 --> 00:02:20,200
Crystal on another punty.
54
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,367
They use it to grab the free end
55
00:02:22,367 --> 00:02:24,500
Of the color overlay.
56
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:26,733
The glassmakers pull, stretching
57
00:02:26,733 --> 00:02:28,667
The crystal like taffy into
58
00:02:28,667 --> 00:02:30,967
What's known as overlaid cane, a
59
00:02:30,967 --> 00:02:32,233
Thin rod of crystal with a
60
00:02:32,233 --> 00:02:33,567
Thread rod of colored glass
61
00:02:33,567 --> 00:02:36,667
Inside.
62
00:02:36,667 --> 00:02:38,767
It takes tremendous expertise to
63
00:02:38,767 --> 00:02:40,567
Stretch the rapidly cooling
64
00:02:40,567 --> 00:02:42,533
Glass to a consistent diameter
65
00:02:42,533 --> 00:02:44,300
Without twisting or breaking it
66
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:46,433
In the process.
67
00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:48,433
They snip the long cane into
68
00:02:48,433 --> 00:02:53,767
Manageable lengths.
69
00:02:53,767 --> 00:02:55,433
Next, they cut the colored rods
70
00:02:55,433 --> 00:02:58,500
Into the size required...
71
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:00,333
Lay out the rods in a precise
72
00:03:00,333 --> 00:03:02,467
Configuration, heat, then roll
73
00:03:02,467 --> 00:03:04,400
Them onto a precisely sized
74
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,067
Piece of molten clear crystal.
75
00:03:07,067 --> 00:03:08,867
Now they repeat the pulling
76
00:03:08,867 --> 00:03:10,700
Process, but this time, to
77
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:12,300
Create the internal pattern they
78
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:16,067
Want, they twist both punties.
79
00:03:16,067 --> 00:03:18,167
They use an electric drill to
80
00:03:18,167 --> 00:03:19,833
Ensure steady, uniform
81
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:21,467
Revolutions.
82
00:03:21,467 --> 00:03:23,367
The rod this creates is called a
83
00:03:23,367 --> 00:03:25,233
Complex cane.
84
00:03:25,233 --> 00:03:26,900
After it cools and stabilizes
85
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:28,633
Overnight, they cut it into the
86
00:03:28,633 --> 00:03:30,400
Lengths they need to create the
87
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200
Filigree glass piece.
88
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,300
The colors and pattern inside a
89
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:37,333
Complex cane are determined by
90
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:39,267
The choice and layout of the
91
00:03:39,267 --> 00:03:41,300
Overlaid cane rods rolled onto
92
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:42,833
The molten crystal.
93
00:03:42,833 --> 00:03:44,367
The filigree pattern is now
94
00:03:44,367 --> 00:03:46,067
Determined by the way in which
95
00:03:46,067 --> 00:03:47,667
They lay out the complex cane
96
00:03:47,667 --> 00:03:50,767
Rods.
97
00:03:50,767 --> 00:03:52,633
After fusing the laid-out rods,
98
00:03:52,633 --> 00:03:54,467
They wrap them around a collar
99
00:03:54,467 --> 00:03:56,267
Of hot crystal at the end of a
100
00:03:56,267 --> 00:03:57,833
Blow pipe.
101
00:03:57,833 --> 00:03:59,300
While rolling the piece on a
102
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:00,967
Glass blowing bench, they use a
103
00:04:00,967 --> 00:04:02,500
Scissor-like tool called jacks
104
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:05,367
To close off the end.
105
00:04:05,367 --> 00:04:06,933
They snip off the excess with
106
00:04:06,933 --> 00:04:08,333
Shears.
107
00:04:08,333 --> 00:04:10,300
Then, they roll the hot glass on
108
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:12,167
A wet wood block to smooth and
109
00:04:12,167 --> 00:04:14,067
Round the bubble.
110
00:04:19,867 --> 00:04:22,067
They blow in some air to produce
111
00:04:22,067 --> 00:04:24,067
The shape of a pear, stick a
112
00:04:24,067 --> 00:04:26,233
Punty to the bottom of the pear,
113
00:04:26,233 --> 00:04:28,167
Then use cold tweezers to shock
114
00:04:28,167 --> 00:04:29,900
The hot glass into breaking
115
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:31,500
Along the separation line
116
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,567
And transfer off the blow pipe.
117
00:04:34,567 --> 00:04:36,367
Now they take some hot crystal
118
00:04:36,367 --> 00:04:38,233
From the furnace and roll it in
119
00:04:38,233 --> 00:04:40,567
Fine, granulated colored glass.
120
00:04:40,567 --> 00:04:42,267
They reheat to melt the color
121
00:04:42,267 --> 00:04:46,533
Into the crystal...
122
00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:48,167
Then attach a bit of glass to
123
00:04:48,167 --> 00:04:49,833
The top of the pear to form it
124
00:04:49,833 --> 00:04:52,733
Into a stem.
125
00:04:52,733 --> 00:04:54,633
They smooth the cutoff edge with
126
00:04:54,633 --> 00:04:57,100
A small torch.
127
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,600
They take another bit of molten
128
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,267
Colored crystal to shape a leaf.
129
00:05:02,267 --> 00:05:03,800
This crimping tool imprints the
130
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,867
Veins.
131
00:05:06,867 --> 00:05:08,600
Every filigree piece these
132
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,400
Canadian master glassmakers
133
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,933
Create is signed by way of a
134
00:05:11,933 --> 00:05:13,433
Piece of cane bearing their
135
00:05:13,433 --> 00:05:14,733
Initials.
136
00:05:14,733 --> 00:05:16,167
They fuse it to the piece in a
137
00:05:16,167 --> 00:05:20,300
Discreet location.
138
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:22,467
Now the finishing touches --
139
00:05:22,467 --> 00:05:23,700
Reheating, then some
140
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:25,400
Shape-tweaking with tools and
141
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,767
Wet newspaper.
142
00:05:29,767 --> 00:05:31,667
With the artist's work done,
143
00:05:31,667 --> 00:05:33,233
It's time to enjoy the
144
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,100
Spectacular fruits of their
145
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,067
Labor.
146
00:05:51,567 --> 00:05:53,267
>> narrator: flake foods for
147
00:05:53,267 --> 00:05:55,100
Aquarium fish were invented in
148
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:56,967
The middle of the last century,
149
00:05:56,967 --> 00:05:58,567
And what a difference this
150
00:05:58,567 --> 00:06:00,100
Invention has made.
151
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,233
Before they came along, pet fish
152
00:06:02,233 --> 00:06:04,267
Were fed live food from rivers
153
00:06:04,267 --> 00:06:06,200
And streams -- a food source
154
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,100
That wasn't always accessible.
155
00:06:12,967 --> 00:06:14,500
The invention of flake and
156
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:16,367
Other dried foods made life in a
157
00:06:16,367 --> 00:06:18,067
Fish tank a whole lot easier.
158
00:06:18,067 --> 00:06:19,933
Just a few sprinkles and dinner
159
00:06:19,933 --> 00:06:25,467
Is served.
160
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:26,967
It's not much like the live
161
00:06:26,967 --> 00:06:28,533
Water fleas or bloodworms the
162
00:06:28,533 --> 00:06:29,967
Fish would feed on in their
163
00:06:29,967 --> 00:06:31,433
Natural environment, but it
164
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:32,833
Contains the nutrients and
165
00:06:32,833 --> 00:06:34,700
Vitamins they need.
166
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:36,433
These dried tidbits can be
167
00:06:36,433 --> 00:06:38,367
Supersized to appeal to larger
168
00:06:38,367 --> 00:06:40,433
Fish that prefer to chow down on
169
00:06:40,433 --> 00:06:43,467
Something more substantial.
170
00:06:43,467 --> 00:06:45,500
Each formulation consists of up
171
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,367
To 40 different ingredients.
172
00:06:47,367 --> 00:06:49,067
The main components are fish
173
00:06:49,067 --> 00:06:50,967
Meal...
174
00:06:50,967 --> 00:06:53,800
Wheat flour...
175
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,833
Soy and paprika oils.
176
00:06:55,833 --> 00:06:57,667
They also add food colorant
177
00:06:57,667 --> 00:06:59,367
Because fish are drawn to
178
00:06:59,367 --> 00:07:00,567
Certain colors.
179
00:07:00,567 --> 00:07:02,467
They follow a precise recipe and
180
00:07:02,467 --> 00:07:03,933
Measure the ingredients
181
00:07:03,933 --> 00:07:04,700
Carefully.
182
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:06,067
They blend the smaller
183
00:07:06,067 --> 00:07:07,667
Components together first.
184
00:07:07,667 --> 00:07:09,233
They include lecithin -- a
185
00:07:09,233 --> 00:07:10,933
Blending and thickening agent
186
00:07:10,933 --> 00:07:12,500
Also found in foods humans
187
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:14,700
Consume -- and calcium for bone
188
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:18,467
Strength.
189
00:07:18,467 --> 00:07:20,700
The main ingredients -- the fish
190
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:22,733
Meal, flours, and oils -- are
191
00:07:22,733 --> 00:07:24,767
Piped from silos into big tanks
192
00:07:24,767 --> 00:07:26,833
And mixed with hot water.
193
00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:28,600
They add the smaller premix and
194
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,233
Blend everything together to
195
00:07:30,233 --> 00:07:31,933
Produce a thick slurry.
196
00:07:31,933 --> 00:07:33,633
They spray the slurry onto the
197
00:07:33,633 --> 00:07:35,300
Surface of a series of rolling
198
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:37,667
Heated drums.
199
00:07:37,667 --> 00:07:39,500
As it flows over these drums,
200
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,467
The slurry cooks and dries into
201
00:07:41,467 --> 00:07:43,400
A thin film that's like a paper
202
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,367
Sheet.
203
00:07:45,367 --> 00:07:47,600
As the sheet rolls off, a long
204
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,767
Rotating blade chops it up to
205
00:07:49,767 --> 00:07:51,233
Produce big flakes.
206
00:07:51,233 --> 00:07:52,600
They're pretty chunky at this
207
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,100
Point and will need to be broken
208
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:58,300
Up into bite-sized versions.
209
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:00,467
Next, they fall down a chute and
210
00:08:00,467 --> 00:08:04,233
Into a plastic bag.
211
00:08:04,233 --> 00:08:06,367
A worker transfers them by the
212
00:08:06,367 --> 00:08:08,400
Bagful to the next conveyer.
213
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,167
The various colors represent the
214
00:08:10,167 --> 00:08:11,633
Different formulations.
215
00:08:11,633 --> 00:08:13,367
The green are veggie flakes,
216
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:15,667
While the red are protein-based.
217
00:08:15,667 --> 00:08:17,167
They all head into a spiraling
218
00:08:17,167 --> 00:08:23,367
Device known as the tumbler.
219
00:08:23,367 --> 00:08:25,133
It spins to toss the flakes
220
00:08:25,133 --> 00:08:26,067
Around.
221
00:08:26,067 --> 00:08:27,700
This mixes then breaks them
222
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:31,367
Into smaller flakes.
223
00:08:31,367 --> 00:08:33,100
After several minutes in the
224
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:35,067
Tumbler, the flakes fall onto a
225
00:08:35,067 --> 00:08:36,900
Series of screens to grade them
226
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,500
By size -- small, medium, and
227
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:42,733
Large.
228
00:08:42,733 --> 00:08:44,833
They land in separate bins, now
229
00:08:44,833 --> 00:08:47,933
Mixed and sorted by size.
230
00:08:47,933 --> 00:08:49,767
Meanwhile, the production of
231
00:08:49,767 --> 00:08:51,633
Fish-food sticks is underway.
232
00:08:51,633 --> 00:08:53,500
Machinery presses a food mash
233
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,367
Through the small holes of an
234
00:08:55,367 --> 00:08:57,200
Extruder plate to create
235
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,067
Spaghetti-like strings.
236
00:08:59,067 --> 00:09:01,267
As the strings exit, rotating
237
00:09:01,267 --> 00:09:03,633
Knives cut them into sticks.
238
00:09:03,633 --> 00:09:05,967
The sticks dry and solidify.
239
00:09:05,967 --> 00:09:08,100
A worker routinely examines them
240
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,133
For size and form.
241
00:09:10,133 --> 00:09:11,867
The next worker wheels a hopper
242
00:09:11,867 --> 00:09:13,633
Full of flakes above a chute and
243
00:09:13,633 --> 00:09:15,767
Removes the trap door.
244
00:09:15,767 --> 00:09:17,500
The mix falls down one floor
245
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:22,833
Onto the packaging line.
246
00:09:22,833 --> 00:09:24,867
At the same time, a column of
247
00:09:24,867 --> 00:09:26,800
Empty cans heads toward the
248
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,467
Flakes.
249
00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:29,100
The fish food flakes fall
250
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:30,933
Through special openings that
251
00:09:30,933 --> 00:09:35,633
Funnel them into the cans.
252
00:09:35,633 --> 00:09:37,833
Machinery cuts out aluminum foil
253
00:09:37,833 --> 00:09:40,067
Caps and slaps them on the tops
254
00:09:40,067 --> 00:09:44,367
Of the containers.
255
00:09:44,367 --> 00:09:46,400
Hot circular irons then seal the
256
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,133
Caps to the cans.
257
00:09:51,133 --> 00:09:52,767
This conveyor belt is also a
258
00:09:52,767 --> 00:09:54,500
Computerized scale which keeps
259
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:56,233
Track of the amount of product
260
00:09:56,233 --> 00:09:59,267
In the cans.
261
00:09:59,267 --> 00:10:01,267
Then, devices spin by to twist
262
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,300
Plastic lids onto the threaded
263
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:07,500
Rims of the cans.
264
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:09,200
As the cans pass by on a
265
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,100
Carousel, applicators press
266
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:13,200
Glue-backed product labels onto
267
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,200
Them.
268
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,267
And these fish food flakes are
269
00:10:19,267 --> 00:10:20,500
Done.
270
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:22,367
In its various formulations,
271
00:10:22,367 --> 00:10:24,367
Dried fish food offers a range
272
00:10:24,367 --> 00:10:25,533
Of feeding options.
273
00:10:25,533 --> 00:10:27,100
Some contain additives that
274
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:28,867
Enhance the growth and color of
275
00:10:28,867 --> 00:10:29,567
The fish.
276
00:10:29,567 --> 00:10:31,433
Others are geared to a fish's
277
00:10:31,433 --> 00:10:33,300
Specific tastes, because even
278
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:35,200
Pet fish can be discriminating
279
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,133
Diners.
280
00:10:50,867 --> 00:10:52,700
>> narrator: a motor home is a
281
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,567
Fully equipped house on wheels.
282
00:10:54,567 --> 00:10:56,300
The class "A" types are shaped
283
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:58,033
Like a bus, the largest models
284
00:10:58,033 --> 00:10:59,600
More than 40 feet long and
285
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,400
Spacious enough to sleep up to
286
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,667
Six people.
287
00:11:02,667 --> 00:11:04,633
When parked, the exterior room
288
00:11:04,633 --> 00:11:06,600
Walls slide outward, expanding
289
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,567
The width by more than a yard.
290
00:11:12,567 --> 00:11:14,233
Motor homes have driver and
291
00:11:14,233 --> 00:11:15,967
Passenger seats at the front,
292
00:11:15,967 --> 00:11:17,833
And in the back, the essentials
293
00:11:17,833 --> 00:11:19,533
Of a small house -- kitchen,
294
00:11:19,533 --> 00:11:22,733
Bedroom, living room, bathroom.
295
00:11:22,733 --> 00:11:24,433
The factory buys a ready-made
296
00:11:24,433 --> 00:11:26,100
Standard-length steel chassis
297
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:27,967
From an automotive supplier with
298
00:11:27,967 --> 00:11:29,500
Motor and other components
299
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:30,967
Already installed.
300
00:11:30,967 --> 00:11:32,800
They then lengthen the chassis
301
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,733
By cutting each side and welding
302
00:11:34,733 --> 00:11:36,067
On an extension piece.
303
00:11:36,067 --> 00:11:37,167
They also extend the
304
00:11:37,167 --> 00:11:38,800
Pre-installed exhaust system and
305
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,500
Electrical wiring.
306
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:42,333
Then, they weld on steel plates
307
00:11:42,333 --> 00:11:44,200
To reinforce the splices in the
308
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,667
Chassis.
309
00:11:45,667 --> 00:11:47,200
Next, they lower the steel
310
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,700
Basement frame, which has
311
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:50,233
Compartments for the water
312
00:11:50,233 --> 00:11:51,933
Supply, waste collection, and
313
00:11:51,933 --> 00:11:53,200
Storage.
314
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,900
Before installing the frame,
315
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:56,500
They attach three pairs of
316
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:58,133
Sliding hydraulic cylinders
317
00:11:58,133 --> 00:11:59,600
Called rams.
318
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,333
Each pair operates a slideout
319
00:12:01,333 --> 00:12:04,933
Room at the push of a button.
320
00:12:04,933 --> 00:12:06,800
After bolting the frame to the
321
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,700
Chassis, they spray each welded
322
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:10,800
Joint with an anti-rust coating.
323
00:12:15,767 --> 00:12:17,333
Then, they test the rams to make
324
00:12:17,333 --> 00:12:18,633
Sure they slide in and out
325
00:12:18,633 --> 00:12:20,533
Properly.
326
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,500
They lower the preassembled
327
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:30,267
Steel cab structure onto the
328
00:12:30,267 --> 00:12:32,100
Basement frame and weld it to
329
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:34,967
The chassis.
330
00:12:34,967 --> 00:12:36,733
The motor home's front end is
331
00:12:36,733 --> 00:12:38,633
Made of fiberglass with a bumper
332
00:12:38,633 --> 00:12:40,767
And headlights built in.
333
00:12:40,767 --> 00:12:42,433
Workers connect the headlights
334
00:12:42,433 --> 00:12:44,067
To the electrical system, then
335
00:12:44,067 --> 00:12:45,767
Attach the front end to the cab
336
00:12:45,767 --> 00:12:48,833
Structure.
337
00:12:48,833 --> 00:12:50,700
Then, they install the hood and
338
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:53,367
Make any necessary adjustments.
339
00:12:53,367 --> 00:12:54,633
Next, they load up the
340
00:12:54,633 --> 00:12:56,200
Compartments in the basement
341
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,767
Structure, starting with the
342
00:12:57,767 --> 00:12:59,467
Freshwater tank made of durable
343
00:12:59,467 --> 00:13:02,967
White plastic.
344
00:13:02,967 --> 00:13:04,767
Water runs from this tank
345
00:13:04,767 --> 00:13:06,833
Through flexible plastic water
346
00:13:06,833 --> 00:13:09,067
Lines to the sinks, shower, and
347
00:13:09,067 --> 00:13:14,067
Toilets.
348
00:13:14,067 --> 00:13:15,800
Next, the drainage line for
349
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,767
Sewer waste.
350
00:13:16,767 --> 00:13:18,867
It runs to a plastic tank that's
351
00:13:18,867 --> 00:13:20,800
Gray to differentiate it from
352
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,933
The water tank.
353
00:13:22,933 --> 00:13:24,167
Now they run a line of
354
00:13:24,167 --> 00:13:25,700
Heavy-duty adhesive along the
355
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,100
Steel grid of the basement
356
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:30,200
Structure and set down the
357
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,067
Motor home's floor.
358
00:13:32,067 --> 00:13:33,967
The floor construction is like a
359
00:13:33,967 --> 00:13:35,600
Sandwich -- aluminum on the
360
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,433
Bottom, plywood on top, with a
361
00:13:37,433 --> 00:13:39,200
High-density hard foam in the
362
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,800
Middle to muffle noise and
363
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,833
Absorb road vibration.
364
00:13:44,833 --> 00:13:46,733
After securing the glued floor
365
00:13:46,733 --> 00:13:48,700
With screws, they staple carpet
366
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,967
Underpadding onto the plywood...
367
00:13:51,967 --> 00:13:53,300
Except in the kitchen and
368
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:54,833
Bathroom areas, where they lay
369
00:13:54,833 --> 00:13:56,600
Down vinyl or ceramic tile
370
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,700
Flooring and cut holes in it for
371
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:01,067
Heat registers and drains.
372
00:14:01,067 --> 00:14:02,767
Then they install carpet over
373
00:14:02,767 --> 00:14:03,867
The underpadding.
374
00:14:03,867 --> 00:14:05,533
The pieces are precut to the
375
00:14:05,533 --> 00:14:07,267
Motor home's layout -- large
376
00:14:07,267 --> 00:14:09,200
Pieces for the main areas, small
377
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:15,300
Ones for closets and the cab.
378
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:16,933
Now, workers hook up what
379
00:14:16,933 --> 00:14:18,900
They've built so far to a chain
380
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:20,667
Mechanism that tows down an
381
00:14:20,667 --> 00:14:22,400
Assembly line.
382
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,133
First, overhead lifts lower the
383
00:14:24,133 --> 00:14:25,667
Motor home's three slideout
384
00:14:25,667 --> 00:14:28,167
Rooms -- dinette, living room,
385
00:14:28,167 --> 00:14:30,067
Bedroom -- onto their respective
386
00:14:30,067 --> 00:14:33,500
Rams.
387
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,200
Workers bolt the rooms to the
388
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:41,533
Rams, then test them.
389
00:14:41,533 --> 00:14:43,100
Next, workers install the
390
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:44,900
Bathroom cabinetry, plumbing,
391
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:47,533
And wiring.
392
00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:49,367
Then the motor home gets its
393
00:14:49,367 --> 00:14:50,867
Three remaining walls.
394
00:14:50,867 --> 00:14:52,433
They're fiberglass on the
395
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:54,267
Outside, decorative paneling on
396
00:14:54,267 --> 00:14:56,067
The inside, with foam and an
397
00:14:56,067 --> 00:14:57,700
Aluminum structural frame in
398
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,133
Between.
399
00:14:59,133 --> 00:15:00,433
The back wall has a luggage
400
00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:01,833
Compartment accessible from the
401
00:15:01,833 --> 00:15:03,933
Outside of the vehicle.
402
00:15:03,933 --> 00:15:05,633
Like the headlights on the front
403
00:15:05,633 --> 00:15:07,200
End, the vehicle's taillights
404
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,833
Are integrated.
405
00:15:08,833 --> 00:15:10,567
The roof structure is the same
406
00:15:10,567 --> 00:15:11,500
As the walls.
407
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:13,233
It has electrical wiring built
408
00:15:13,233 --> 00:15:14,833
In and cut-outs for ceiling
409
00:15:14,833 --> 00:15:16,433
Lights and air-conditioning
410
00:15:16,433 --> 00:15:17,633
Vents.
411
00:15:17,633 --> 00:15:19,133
The inner structural frames of
412
00:15:19,133 --> 00:15:20,867
The roof and walls interlock.
413
00:15:20,867 --> 00:15:22,567
A line of screws running the
414
00:15:22,567 --> 00:15:24,367
Length of the roof secures the
415
00:15:24,367 --> 00:15:29,100
Connection.
416
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,100
A generous application of
417
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:33,400
Sealant, then on goes the roof
418
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,100
Cap with built-in clearance
419
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:36,967
Lights to finish off the front
420
00:15:36,967 --> 00:15:38,933
End.
421
00:15:50,233 --> 00:15:51,733
>> narrator: at this point, the
422
00:15:51,733 --> 00:15:53,133
Outside of the motor home is
423
00:15:53,133 --> 00:15:54,300
Almost complete.
424
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:56,100
However, there's still much
425
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:57,600
Interior work to come.
426
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,400
Everything on the inside is
427
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,267
Designed to maximize living
428
00:16:01,267 --> 00:16:02,900
Space and storage space.
429
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:04,567
And even though the motor home
430
00:16:04,567 --> 00:16:06,200
Has just one bedroom, pullout
431
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,533
Beds in other areas add
432
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:10,833
Additional sleep space.
433
00:16:10,833 --> 00:16:12,767
One of the last jobs remaining
434
00:16:12,767 --> 00:16:14,800
On the outside is to install the
435
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,300
Door.
436
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,067
It fits perfectly because they
437
00:16:17,067 --> 00:16:18,833
Constructed it using the piece
438
00:16:18,833 --> 00:16:20,700
They cut out of the side wall to
439
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:26,800
Make the door opening.
440
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,767
Next, some decorative detailing
441
00:16:28,767 --> 00:16:30,633
On the vehicle body, including
442
00:16:30,633 --> 00:16:32,600
An adhesive vinyl decal bearing
443
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:39,533
The model name.
444
00:16:39,533 --> 00:16:41,900
On the inside, workers are busy
445
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:45,200
Applying the finishing touches.
446
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,067
They hang cabinet doors...
447
00:16:50,067 --> 00:16:51,767
Install under-cabinet
448
00:16:51,767 --> 00:16:56,633
Lighting...
449
00:16:56,633 --> 00:16:58,200
And hook up the kitchen
450
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:04,667
Appliances.
451
00:17:04,667 --> 00:17:06,933
The stove is a special compact
452
00:17:06,933 --> 00:17:09,167
Size manufactured specifically
453
00:17:09,167 --> 00:17:12,567
For recreational vehicles.
454
00:17:12,567 --> 00:17:14,267
Customers buying motor homes
455
00:17:14,267 --> 00:17:15,700
Have a choice of window
456
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:16,467
Coverings.
457
00:17:16,467 --> 00:17:18,433
This order calls for double-duty
458
00:17:18,433 --> 00:17:20,233
Roller shades -- one setting
459
00:17:20,233 --> 00:17:21,933
Filters daylight, the other
460
00:17:21,933 --> 00:17:26,367
Blacks it out.
461
00:17:26,367 --> 00:17:28,233
The installer uses a gauge to
462
00:17:28,233 --> 00:17:30,233
Adjust the blinds to the correct
463
00:17:30,233 --> 00:17:34,133
Drawing tension.
464
00:17:34,133 --> 00:17:35,767
Then, she installs decorative
465
00:17:35,767 --> 00:17:37,433
Valances to hide the edges and
466
00:17:37,433 --> 00:17:39,333
Pull cords.
467
00:17:45,067 --> 00:17:46,800
In the cab, workers bolt the
468
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,800
Base of the driver and passenger
469
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,700
Seats to the basement frame.
470
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:58,067
Then, they bolt a seat-belt
471
00:17:58,067 --> 00:18:00,333
Receiver to each seat base.
472
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,967
The seats, upholstered in
473
00:18:07,967 --> 00:18:09,633
High-end synthetic leather,
474
00:18:09,633 --> 00:18:11,367
Attach into their respective
475
00:18:11,367 --> 00:18:15,267
Bases.
476
00:18:15,267 --> 00:18:17,100
Workers install the dinette,
477
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:18,700
Which sits in one of the
478
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:19,767
Slideout rooms.
479
00:18:19,767 --> 00:18:21,633
The bench seats have a storage
480
00:18:21,633 --> 00:18:23,467
Area underneath, and the seats
481
00:18:23,467 --> 00:18:25,333
And table convert into an extra
482
00:18:25,333 --> 00:18:27,767
Bed.
483
00:18:27,767 --> 00:18:29,467
At the rear of the motor home is
484
00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:31,200
The bedroom, which is the second
485
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,200
Slideout room.
486
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,733
The bed has storage space
487
00:18:33,733 --> 00:18:35,400
Underneath for blankets and
488
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,733
Pillows.
489
00:18:36,733 --> 00:18:38,467
Regulations designate certain
490
00:18:38,467 --> 00:18:40,267
Seats safe to sit in while the
491
00:18:40,267 --> 00:18:41,467
Vehicle is moving.
492
00:18:41,467 --> 00:18:43,067
Those seats are equipped with
493
00:18:43,067 --> 00:18:44,433
Safety belts.
494
00:18:44,433 --> 00:18:46,067
The couch in the living room,
495
00:18:46,067 --> 00:18:47,667
The third slideout room, has a
496
00:18:47,667 --> 00:18:49,300
Few hidden features -- an air
497
00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:50,800
Mattress which inflates and
498
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,567
Deflates at the push of a button
499
00:18:52,567 --> 00:18:54,433
For an extra bed, and a drawer
500
00:18:54,433 --> 00:18:56,300
Underneath for storing pillows
501
00:18:56,300 --> 00:19:01,333
And blankets.
502
00:19:01,333 --> 00:19:04,833
The bathroom has a toilet...
503
00:19:04,833 --> 00:19:07,500
Sink...
504
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:10,133
Shower stall...
505
00:19:10,133 --> 00:19:13,567
And lots of cabinet space.
506
00:19:13,567 --> 00:19:15,567
Back on the outside, workers
507
00:19:15,567 --> 00:19:17,600
Install a rear-view camera on
508
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,600
Each side wall.
509
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,333
When the driver activates the
510
00:19:20,333 --> 00:19:22,067
Right turn signal, the right
511
00:19:22,067 --> 00:19:23,833
Side camera automatically turns
512
00:19:23,833 --> 00:19:24,300
On.
513
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,333
The left turn signal, the left
514
00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:27,800
Camera.
515
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,600
The cameras transmit the image
516
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,667
To a dashboard monitor.
517
00:19:34,667 --> 00:19:36,467
Every motor home this factory
518
00:19:36,467 --> 00:19:38,200
Produces undergoes extensive
519
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,933
Water-infiltration testing.
520
00:19:39,933 --> 00:19:41,600
Hundreds of sprayers shoot
521
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,300
Several straight minutes of
522
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:45,133
Simulated heavy rainfall from
523
00:19:45,133 --> 00:19:46,600
All angles, including
524
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,567
Underneath -- with the slideout
525
00:19:48,567 --> 00:19:50,100
Rooms both extended and
526
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:51,167
Retracted.
527
00:19:51,167 --> 00:19:53,533
Inspectors check everywhere,
528
00:19:53,533 --> 00:19:55,067
Even inside cabinets.
529
00:19:55,067 --> 00:19:56,867
If they find any leaks, they
530
00:19:56,867 --> 00:19:58,967
Seal them and run the water test
531
00:19:58,967 --> 00:20:04,767
Again.
532
00:20:04,767 --> 00:20:06,867
And finally, one last mechanical
533
00:20:06,867 --> 00:20:08,767
Verification of the slideout
534
00:20:08,767 --> 00:20:10,367
Rooms, now that they bear the
535
00:20:10,367 --> 00:20:11,733
Additional weight of the
536
00:20:11,733 --> 00:20:13,667
Furnishings.
537
00:20:13,833 --> 00:20:15,633
This expansion feature is the
538
00:20:15,633 --> 00:20:17,300
Secret to the motor home's
539
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:19,167
Spacious feel, as it increases
540
00:20:19,167 --> 00:20:20,900
The floor-space width by nearly
541
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:27,600
Five feet.
542
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,100
The slideouts operate only while
543
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:32,100
The motor home is parked.
544
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:34,133
With smart design and ingenious
545
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:36,067
Use of limited space, a motor
546
00:20:36,067 --> 00:20:37,800
Home lets you hit the road
547
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,100
Without leaving the comforts of
548
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:41,533
Home behind.
549
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:53,500
If you have any comments about
550
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:55,300
