18 Pictures, Burgundy & Gold w/Red, Green & Gold Stripes. 76.6 Miles. $79.9K. Located in Channahon, IL (SW of Chicago).

"Up for auction is this nice 1997 Bluebird Wanderlodge 43ft. Class A diesel motorhome. It is loaded with options and runs and drives great.
The coach only has low 76,000 original miles and has been very well maintained. It has 8 BRAND NEW tires and has just been serviced including having the generator serviced also.
This one has its original interior that is in exceptional condition for its age. The paint does have some minor blemishes as expected with its age.
It is powered by a 12.7 60 series Detroit diesel engine that is rated for 500hp. It has plenty of power and is very economical for its' size and weight.
I'm no RV guru so I'm sure if you're looking at this listing you probably already know much more about this one than I do. I'm simply listing this for a good friend of the family who just past away.

I looked at this bus the last time it was on ebay a month or so ago. My opinion is as follows: The paint looks good in the photos but it is peeling off around almost every seem and rivet. It really needs a complete repaint.

Also, a couple of the bay doors could not even be opened as the key locks were all loose. The wallpaper is also peeling in the toilet room and bath. Its not all bad but you'd have to buy it around $40K to come out once you figure in what it needs. The paint job alone could set you back $20-30K.
