BB Direct Sales info
Bleakley is not the only dealer to abandon Wanderlodge. I know of at least
two other dealers that have dropped them in the last few years. That, coupled with their wholesale firing of some of the best people does not bode well for the longevity of the company. Rexhall went to direct sales and they are suffering. I think that people might be saving their $$$$ to pay for fuel and buying the less expensive coaches. The next few years will be interesting.

If this is the case then how can they possibly lower the price to be competitive in todays market like the announcement indicated? Here is what the factory announced. ""The efficiency of factory-direct sales will allow Blue Bird to offer our customers the finest motorcoach with the best service at the most attractive price," said Fred VanDenBerg, Blue Bird Coachworks'director of motorcoach sales and marketing." Does this mean that each dealer will have a certain area in which the factory will not sell coaches direct? It appears that at least one dealer , John Bleakley, does not like the program since they are no longer a dealer. This has got to be a very bad sign for Bluebird. Time will tell.
