I have been lurking on this board for a while now. I'm ready to jump in
with some questions. I really like the Blue Birds. You seem to get a
lot of bang for the buck. I'm amazed at how well these units are built,
and hold up. There are not a lot of units out there that are still
running strong, that are 20 + years old, with the purchase price still
within reach. I really like the BUS features. I think when we are ready
for our next coach, We will look for a nice one in the 15 yr old range.
I have a few questions though. It seems that there are a lot of
different models within the BB line, which is confusing me. What's with
the sp's, pt's,fc's, wl's, bmc, wanderlodge, xl's, 380's? Well you get
the idea. What is the difference between them? I think I even saw a
post where one model was built on an after market chassis? I tried
reading the different post's but I just keep confusing myself. Any info
to get me familar with the coaches will be greatly appreciated. You can
E-mail me if you like......Thanks in advance
