Dale,

It think it is great. I'm an ex-boater myself I won't hold anything like
owning a 74', or a 10' Livingston for that matter, against you. When I saw the
post I thought that Leroy was sending a cryptic message that I didn't
understand. I don't think anyone takes exception to you boat. Please don't take
it that way and stay with the group. I bought a Blue Bird after the boat for the
same reason you seem to be interested in them. Actually, my impression is that a
lot of the forum members are either current or former boat owners.

Stick with us Dale, You'll enjoy the experience. A lot can be learned that
will benefit all of us.

Ive never had a motorhome and was led to believe Bluebird was a high
quality, strongly built, well finished coach worth the money. I heard
there was great comraderie among the owners, so I looked in on the
group. I read a post from a fella who had to sell his RV and I simply
sent him a note saying I might be interested. My email address is
Hatteras61, and that seemed to set off a flurry of busybody's intent on
making a big deal about a boat name. Point is, I think you guys
reactions are really petty. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

PS: I used to have a 61' Hatteras. Now I have a 74'. Whatd'ya think of
that!

Dale,
When I was in High school and a couple of years after I worked at
a large cruiser sales outfit. Boats are really fun toys and the
destinations can be awesome. I must admit, however, that the scenery
can often be pretty monotonous. You do get to pass by some very
impressive mansions by the shoreline, but not much else. I must
admit that if I throw a line out the back of my Bluebird I don't
catch many fish, and I seldom find attractive young women in bikinis
sunning themselves on my roof. But having been there and done that,
you will find a whole new group of very interesting folks in the RV
community. In an RV you have a constantly changing view of the
countryside and a magnificent selection of routes to take to any
destination. On the negative side, the other users of the road don't
seem to abide by any intelligent rules so you need to be constantly
on the alert for potential collisions. When you are on the water all
you encounter is other boaters, when you are on land you have to
deal with everyone else.

So a solid steel Bluebird is your best defense, get one and enjoy
it.

Hi Guys...
Anyone listening in that could give a neophyte a little background on the
"BMC" version of BB? On a "desirability scale" of 1 to 10, how does it stack
up. Cost and resale value? Fill me in...there's one on ebay right now that
seems to be a good buy...is it?

Dale, the BMC was made in the 90's and it doesn't have all the bells and
whistles of a Wanderlodge. I have been in numerous BMCs and I would be proud to
own one. It has a Spartan chassis, vs the factory BB chassis.

Howard,
Thanks. Good explanation. Do you think the safety is comparable? Do they
employ the same steel framework? How do you think the ride and handling
compare?

Dale,
The Spartan Chassis is lower from the floor to the ground and the chassis is not
as heavily built. Was designed to be an entry level coach to try and attract
those that were buying the proverbial SOB's. They do not contain the high end
appointments or options of the "Wanderlodge". But it is a nice coach. I would be
happy with one. Maybe even a little less complicated to work on.

Dale,
I was told they used the steel framing. Maybe some more knowledgeable on this
than I will speak up. I would think the safety would compare favorably to the
"Wanderlodge". I have no experience with the ride and handling of the BMC. I
think they were made for only 3 or 4 years in the mid 90's. I don't know the
total units produced but could not be that many. I would certainly take the
factor of the limited run and resaleability of the BMC into consideration before
purchasing. The Bluebird line of school buses from which the "Wanderlodge" and
the "BMC" RV's come from is a well established name brand known across America
for there quality construction.

Dear Dan,
I have been to that site. Frankly, most of it is posts discussing how to
remove lint from your naval. Also, good research includes getting the opinion
of others with knowledge and experience. Lastly, I was thanking Howard for
his information and asking him a few more questions. I need to
find out how to answer a forum member privately if possible. Can you tell
me how?
Dale

Let's try this again. There is a dedicated site to the BMC. Go to
it. Do some research. Spend the time and look into it.
