So, I'll Seth and thanks for your questions on the Class B side. We will be adding additional capacity within and to our Lake Mills facility on Class B. And I guess, theoretically, you could say that the maximum capacity in adding a second line would be double. You won't get there quickly and that doesn’t necessarily mean that we have all the demand to double our Class B business. The Class B industry segment continues to be a small one, but an increasingly growing and competitive category as more RV manufacturers get in the business. It is a segment where we have been successful in producing great new products. We have three lines now, the Era, the Era, the Travato, and the Paseo, several new features in each of those lines. And so, as we look forward in the next several years, we think there is significant opportunity to increase our Class B business, and we believe that -- and that obviously necessitates adding another line to that facility. So, we’re optimistic that that move will be able to accommodate demand for a little while longer, but we will do whatever it takes if the Class B demand even exceeds what we’re putting in there. Junction City and West Coast production, in general. We have several of our competitors who do have towables facilities out on the West Coast, either in California or in the Northwest. We have experience even within now the Grand Design team from their past lives, within the industry of opening and using West Coast facilities. So, we have stated very clearly, since I’ve arrived, that while that was rationalized and strategically positioned as a diesel manufacturing facility. We have a campus out there that could someday definitely be used for other products if we thought it was right to do. Around 30% of our towables business is sold west of the Rocky Mountains, which definitely means that there could be an opportunity to explore that in the future, especially for the light weight travel trailers. The lower price point you get the higher percentage that freight bill is when you ship it from the Central part of the U.S. The Grand Design team has done a wonderful job building their business without a West Coast facility to-date. And we have even more capacity improvement potential on that existing campus. But we absolutely could look at the West Coast as needed. And we’ve had that same discussion on the Winnebago towables side as well. So, while we’re not sitting here today announcing anything, we’re not restricting the Junction City campus or even broadly the West Coast from taking towables production to in the future. When the time and the economics are right, that could very well happen.
