Jeff from the photos I downloaded all I see is a cruiseair in the passenger
side rear (bedroom) and a middle roof air. Where did you see the middle
cruiseair? Are there more pictures?

Just the three under front-page photos.

In the side photo you can see the grille behind the RF wheel. I
suspect that the bumpers were either rusty and painted, or replaced
with cheaper non-chrome bus bumpers, I don't see the driving light
holes in the front.

The size of the genny door also is the larger FC35 one, not enough
space on the FC33, and the grille on the left side of the genny door.
Hard to see the grillework with that wrap on the coach, there might
even be a cornering light under the wrap as it could legally be
covered with perforated or solid.

Your '82 doesn't have the antenna lift either? Is yours about a
November '81 build date?

It would be easier to identify if there were pictures of the drivers side.
Does anyone have them.

By the way cruiseairs were offered in 1982 . Mine has 3 of them from the
factory.

Now this is little oft subject but like I said before those old Wanderlodges
came in all kinds of different configuration and here is another one that
predates history. I have been it and its all wood (Needs allot of help!) but
back by that back door inside is a office. It was built for the circus folks of
Rindum and Barley and used for (?) I don't know but it might have been a
location for paying the employees or something like that. Jon

Very interesting to look

I can't help from jumping in here. It looks like to me that there
is also a second cruiseair unit behind the front wheel for a total
of two. In addition I notice what appears to be fog lights in the
front bumper instead of on top which makes me believe that this is
an '82 or '83 model. Who started this anyhow? ;^)

I would have to check again but believe mine was built Nov 1982. It has the
newer dash , newer side bath, a solidly mounted TV antenna, spot light
mounted in the center of the condenser and the back up lights the same as
the front page photo.

Yep, optional in '82, in '84 the cruiseairs were standard. My '84 had
the optional roof A/Cs, at an additional cost of $450. Talk about
confusing the buyers.

Scott Bishop and I called the company that has the coach on our home page.
The operator said that they would get back to us on this coach. So far- we wait.
It is a large company in the Northwest. How about it Jon? ever hear of this
company? Ernie-83PT40 in Texas

If this is a WLII, these items have been added to the base WLII:
Alloy wheels, landing lights, awning, roof rack, air horns. On the
other hand, it has painted bumpers.

The salon side windows extend to the bottom of the bump-strip. The
taller windows started in '82, I think.

The mirrors are the same as those shown on the 82 and 83. In the BB
liturature, the mirrors changed from 83 to 84. The WLII was 1984
only, and (ours) uses the standard 84 WL mirror.

I think there is too much distance from the door to the front
wheelwell to be a 31'. The 33 gains about a foot in that area.

My guess is 82-83 33'. Hard to tell why the bumpers are painted, but
paint *is* an inexpensive way to temporarily deal with rusted chrome,
and this bus has seen lots of paint.

Jeff: Is there no center roof air, or no roof airs at all? I guess
the roof airs could have been replaced with vents. Same size hole.

Randy: Are you guessing cruise air because of no roof air? Is there
anywhere to stuff cruise air units under this age and length FC? It
is sure shallow and cramped under there compared to PTs of the same
age.
