Hey. Good morning everyone.
Welcome to Marathon Mondays with Mal.
We're going to move fast today.
We got a lot to see, so stay with us.
A typical Monday morning at marathon.
That's what we're going to show you this morning.
And look how beautiful it is out here.
Everybody.
We had an ice storm two months ago.
And now look at this.
Right in the middle of Oregon, right off Interstate five, a beautiful morning.
We're going to go in here.
We're going to look at a bunch of stuff very quickly.
So follow us.
It's going to be fun.
Here we go.
Here we are in the front lobby of the building.
Caitlin good morning.
And we are going to head out to the production
floor, the boutique where we sell all of the cool marathon gear right there,
the wall of brag over here. Very nice.
You got our accounting department
also down here in the front lobby.
Look at this.
New hires going through orientation here with my man, Bob Peele.
That's cool.
Oh, I saw something this morning.
I got to show you guys.
This is the display stall that I'm walking through right now.
If you guys have any questions thrown at us,
I know we've got Abigail hanging out with us today.
Coach 1391, that's going to be a beautiful coach.
Oh, yeah. Take a look at these.
Look at these beautiful drawers.
I think I've shown these on the show many, many times,
but they never cease to amaze me how beautiful these are.
Dovetail drawers.
These are for coach 1388.
It's got that beautiful.
I think the color on this is mocha.
I think that's what they call that with a marathon logo
embossed right there on every single drawer.
And of course it's lined with that synthetic leather.
Very nice.
And there's an absolute ton of those drawers down here.
If you can see all those down there.
Not cool.
Another thing that caught my eye.
Let's go over here.
Oh, this is cool.
Here's the here's the shelving for 1387.
Take a look at this.
All these shelves are up here.
Stage for coach 1387, which is really getting close
to being completed, but 1387 shelves, they're literally
all labeled, all protected, and they all have a good lining on them.
That's neat.
Check this out.
Every every marathon coach has a safe in it, to lock
up, you know, personal items, what have you.
but this is something that I saw that was really, really cool.
This is actually goes fits in the wall.
And we don't just throw a safe in the wall.
We actually put a frame around it so that the safe is very,
very secure into the wall.
Take a look at how much work goes into just this piece.
This is a really nice piece of cabinetry that is put into the wall.
I believe that's coach
1380 Nine's wall safe.
We're going to move fast this morning guys
1393 right there.
You know what.
Let's take a listen.
Let me slow down I want to show you one of the things that we do
that I'm really proud of.
Let's take a look at this.
First.
This is a beautiful paint job.
This is a awesome triple slide 1393.
But as you can see, we do cut and buff.
We take a lot of time to cut and buff these paint jobs
right on the production floor when when we have the time to do so.
You can see it's happening here.
And if you turn right around here, you can see that it's happening
on 1388.
Ensuring
that these paint jobs looking exactly how they should,
which is really dynamic when the coach is completed.
All right.
Let's let's walk quick.
Let's walk quick.
We're going around here passing 1388 on my
right on my these are two coaches that are almost completed.
Triple or.
Excuse me.
Quad slide over here.
1387.
double slide H both the new H three from Prevo
and the new front ends from marathon.
Very cool.
1387 look at the backside
of 86.
Celebrating one of our national parks.
You see right there. Very, very cool.
We're going to walk this way.
Excuse me fellas,
as you can see, a lot of things are happening.
There you go.
This is this is an update from last week.
You got the barbecue in there and the whole slide out.
You got the marathon logo on the on the end cap of that.
Plus you got a 55 inch TV that will come out of this cabinet right here.
Let's move.
I'm excited for 1386 that that,
mural on the back with the arch from the Utah National Park.
That's going to be beautiful here is a new x three shell coach.
1399.
For those of you that are counting, that's one less than 1400.
We're going to be polishing that stainless.
This coach is headed down to paint in about a week.
This is called shell Prep when it's here.
The shell drove all the way from Quebec Canada in to from Provo here.
We're going to polish that stainless paint that coach, and it'll end up
back down here in about a month and a half.
1389 right here.
My man 1390 right here.
We're going to head on over to service and finish our show up over there.
This is a cool area right here.
We're walking literally right under the upholstery department on the second floor.
You've got engineering, marketing, sales
a very big break room.
The upholstery team is up there.
The design suite.
But sticking here on the first floor.
We are in service.
The heavenly hands of Rob Angelo.
Good morning.
Murray.
Good morning.
Let's flip around and look at this.
Coach. Isn't this a beautiful coach?
This is a remodel.
coach that we saw, that we heavily watched on the show,
and documented Murray and Natalie.
Celeste Keys, age three.
What a beautiful coach that is. And,
a couple that are very active in the marathon owners club.
So we get to see that coach at, our rallies a lot.
All right, let's keep it moving here.
Down in our service department,
you see a lot of things.
what do we got here?
What do we got here?
The cargo boxes for 1387, now, 1387.
Is that beautiful blue coach that we just saw at the very end?
I think we showed these a couple of weeks ago when they were almost completed.
But here they are, completed and ready to be installed in post production.
But in this case, I think it's going to be in production.
They're going to move them down to the production floor and install them.
These are the slide out trays for Bay one and two of 1387.
And they are here.
And they're complete a lot of really good work on that.
Cabinetry.
It really finishes out the bays nicely.
Coach 1287.
Right next to coach 0715.
Getting a new window.
And this is an area right here that we haven't shown very often on the show.
This is an area right here where a lot of the work is done
on cabinetry for remodels.
On those slide out tray cargo boxes were produced right in this area.
So this is an area of our service department where a lot of things happen.
A lot of a lot of remodel happens.
And you can see, someone is remodeling their dinette.
Looks like this is an old dinette that had been taken out.
And they I see drawings right here for new ones.
Let's go here through paint and we'll end in paint.
Hey, Paul.
you know the deal.
Okay.
That extra shell that we just saw in the production floor that was in Shell Prep.
It'll be in this stall next week.
This is part of the shell prep area right
before it rolls into booth three to be painted.
most likely it will be in booth three.
But this is an area right here where they bring it down here
and make sure that it's ready to be painted.
Speaking of a shell about to be painted, there's an three
one right there.
And from this point right here, you can see them prepping it
to take it into the,
into the bay here to be into the booth.
Excuse me.
that's Booth four right there.
And so this shell
is headed in to be painted probably within the next couple of days.
Looks like getting everything masked up in everything.
That's today's show.
I really appreciate you hanging out with me.
I'll be yourself and do good things.
Thank you so much for watching.
I hope everyone has a good week.
I'm headed down to the desert where we have an awesome party at Outdoor
Resorts Indio coming up next weekend, so we'll do a mal on the move
next weekend, and then I'll be doing a live show down
in Indio, kind of towards the end of the season.
So it's an end of season party at outdoor resorts.
Looking forward to that.
And we're going to show you some really cool stuff
on the following Monday down there.
So a week from today we'll be down in the desert.
But look for me this weekend, doing a mal on the move from outdoor resorts.
Indio. Like I said, be yourself. Do good things.
Have a good week.
You guys take care of each other. I'm out.
