Scott- did you see the large sag in the ceiling in the bedroom?

I have a few sags in my coach, but that one really hangs down from the seam.

At PPL motorhome sales in houston texas there is currently a 86 40ft Bluebird
Wanderlodge for sale for $14,450. PPL's number is 1-800-755-4775. A link to
this, if it
works, is: http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/diesel/14118.HTM
I know nothing about it and am not connected in any way with the seller. But for
that price
it has to have major issues? but still it may be perfect for someone to restore
or use as a
lake house?

Priced for "quick sale?" ... I dunno, there's an '86 PT40 on Bird Connection with an asking price "reduced" to $89K. 86PT40 on Vintage birds, asking $65K ... another, 86PT38 asking $47K. Looks like the PPL unit has the 6v92 -- much less power than the 8v92 -- might also be a factor in the price.

PPL has been around long enough to know the value of a BB ... so I suspect that they're aware of issues with this particular coach. Might be good for someone willing to take on a "project" coach, but probably not for someone looking for a cream puff.

I think perhaps the statement in the description says it all.

"If You Are Looking For A Coach To Put On A Lake Lot or Hunting
Lodge"

It seems to hint that it isn't road worthy. But the shell should
be worth 14,500 to someone local.

My sixth sense tells me this coach has probably had something (fire
or bad collision) that required a substantial rebuild. The
front "grill" trim is missing from the front end. The goat rail is
gone. The front A/C condenser on the roof is gone (something happen
to the roof?). The barrel chairs are gone. Most of the dinette is
gone (never seen that before). The bathroom mirror is gone and
replaced with a small hanging mirror. The mirrored bathroom cabinet
doors have both been replaced with something different. The mirrors
are gone from the back wall of the bedroom. And is that a white
steel rim on the curb-side tag wheel?

I have said it before...if it doesn't "feel" right, it's wrong.
My guess is this thing is a disaster. PPL is not in the motorhome
give away business.

I called PPL. It is a definate fixer upper. She did get to their
sales lot under her own power. It seems as though the past owner of
8 years removed anything that broke or quite functioning. Sales guy
had no idea why he would do this. The fridge is gone as well as some
other accessories like the heaters. The genny will not start and the
slide needs to be wired up to keep it from coming forwards.
According to PPL the tires look good and the exterior is in good
condition for it's age. Unkown if central A/C works. Could be a
great coach parked next to the pond on my farm:}Or maybe a shooting
stand for next years Deer season. Might even be a canidate for the
Australian coach we were talking about. Dealer said 55 or 60 K on
the odometer that restated unknow by previous owner. Here's a total
crap shoot, come on 7. Oh yea, the previous owner replaced the roof
vents with sheet metal!

LOL !!

Yes, I did, though I try not to pounce on those automatically,
sometimes the trim does sag even with no leak, etc.

If the NADA depreciated book value is $7767 as has been discussed on another thread, offer them $2500. Everyone looks for a deal but do not take it when it arrives. I would jump on it if I was looking. lol,lol
