Hi All, Well after lot's of searching and looking We have bought another
Wanderlodge. It's a 99LX 40'It belonged to Bill Reed who owned Ramco
Engineering in Elkhart Indiana, He was the manufacturer of most of the
wanderlodge mirror's. Bill passed away several month's back and his widow put
the coach up for sale. Carol and I picked it up at his factory in Elkhart. It
appears to be a good coach, very few up front issues although Iam sure some will
surface. It has the cummins m11 engine and Allison 6 speed. All seems to work
well although we've only driven it some 350 miles. Currently it's in our garage
and we'll start going over everything as time allow's. I want to change all the
fluid's over to synthetic's, change filter's etc before we do much driving. the
LX doen't have as many bell's as the LXI but that's ok it appears to somewhat
less complex. Iam sure I'll have lot's of quetions about the LX, Iam wondering
how many forum member's have the LX ?

--Thanks Ernie, I sold the Pony to a racer in Iowa. I delivered it on the way
to wyoming in June. Never fail's I get things all fixed up and then sell them.
Plan on keeping the BB for a long time. Carpet in the Pony was great, It was
the hole in the floor underneath it that caused me to reconsider. Ha. Is
anyone using the Rotella T. Synthetic 5-40 ?

Congratulations Bob!
I saw that one advertised and it appeared to be a great coach. Have fun with it
and I hope we get to meet some day so I can check it out in person.
