New to Wanderlodge, looking for advise re 1987 40'

[Roger W Webb]

The Wanderlodge is a great machine. However, I'd be very surprised if everything was in good working order. The Wanderlodge is a complex machine and hates to sit around, the longer they sit, the more likely something is not going to work when it is time to go. They are so complex that you'd be well ahead to pay someone with WL knowledge to check it out. It may be a great deal, even with a list of items to 'repair', but at least you won't be surprised. Living with an old WL is not cheap, but they are one sturdy machine and you'll have a great time if you keep your expectations in order.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] New to Wanderlodge, looking for advise re 1987 40'

Hi folks! I am new here and looking for information relative to Wanderlodge in general and in particular the 1987 40' with tag axle advertised at Poulsbo RV in WA. Over the past year I have been looking at everything from truck campers to class C to A gassers and finally narrowed down to a A diesel.



My issue with the current crop of RVs out there is that so many I have looked at have damage due to water intrusion into the walls with signs of showing serious de-lamination. The coaches have all been upper tier, no junk, but older (like me). I like old, sturdy construction and these birds seem to be just that.



Anyway, the one I found in WA has mileage in the low 40K range. Pictures look just great, paint and interior, at least what I can see of it. Dealer says this one will NOT come with a systems check so that makes me wonder a bit. Tires are all in need of replacement.



Biggest problem is that the coach is completely across the country from where I live. Wondering if there are any agencies that will check these out long distance, someone I could trust, before I fly 3000 miles to purchase it. Any information relative to this model would be graciously and appreciatively accepted. Thank You all!
