History please:
I have been lurking on this board for a while now. I'm ready to jump in
with some questions. I really like the Blue Birds. You seem to get a lot of bang for the buck. I'm amazed at how well these units are built, and hold up. There are not a lot of units out there that are still running strong, that are 20 + years old, with the purchase price still within reach. I really like the BUS features. I think when we are ready for our next coach, We will look for a nice one in the 15 yr old range. I have a few questions though. It seems that there are a lot of different models within the BB line, which is confusing me. What's with the sp's, pt's,fc's, wl's, bmc, wanderlodge, xl's, 380's? Well you get the idea. What is the difference between them? I think I even saw a post where one model was built on an after market chassis? I tried reading the different post's but I just keep confusing myself. Any info to get me familar with the coaches will be greatly appreciated. You can E-mail me if you like......Thanks in advance Steve FBBO |
