Rally in our "own Valley

[George Lowry]

Ernie,

A thought came to mind as I was thinking about Carole's email, which
seems to be indicative of the "design team" at Wanderlodge. There
have been a lot of excellent people at Wanderlodge who have been laid
off or otherwise left the company and they still live in the local
area. One that comes to mind is Chuck Hallem who I found to be most
helpful. Perhaps some of them would like to come and put on a question
and answer period for a good dinner or something.

One point that I would like to pass on re: Carole's post: When we got
our coach, we found that we could not open the drawer on the
Washer/dryer that is for the soap, rinse, etc. because the cabinet
doors were in the way. I found two other coaches built the same way in
'95 & '96. I discussed that with Chuck and he was shocked. He said
that he had discovered that before the coaches went out and was
promised by the design "engineer" that the coaches would not leave in
that condition. They did. What is most disgusting is that last year
when we were looking at a new 450, we found the same condition. Yet
they laid off Chuck and kept the "design engineer". While we like the
basic strength of construction that BB puts into their vehicles, once
in the Wanderlodge plant for outfitting, they are not much better than
Fleetwood in their design. It is ridiculous to have to pay $750,000
for a new coach and have to have it redesigned and modified to make it
usable.
