New to Wanderlodge, looking for advise re 1987 40'

[Bayrat8]

Thank you, I am in the northeast and as near as I can tell, there are none in my
area for sale. Finding someone to check it out will be the problem.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
