Looking to purchase used 1992 WB40

[mbrund]

The AC switches would have taken me a few mins to figure out that
they control the heat, not intuitive to say the least.

Read about the AT in the owners manual. Also read about a switch in
the engine compartment that allows you to disable the engine from
being started from the cockpit while servicing, as well as being
able to start it from the engine compartment.

The brakes are quite a bit different than in my Discovery. In the
discovery, even though they are air and hinged at the bottom, the
placement of the pad and height tends to make them more sensitive.
On the WB I have to press on the brake pedal with a little more
authority if you know what I mean. The one thing I do not like
about the WB is that the brake pedal is too close to the throttle
and steering column, my fat feet seem to have a little problem with
that brake pedal. Also that dang air horn foot switch drives me
nuts, heck it drives the people driving next to me nuts when I hit
it by accident

You are correct, I have not driven it at night. So I have not seen
what the dash panel looks like, much less the headlights, driving
lights, fog lights, or that nice big flood/spot light

My current storage facility only has covered parking. Having said
that, and being I am located in central Texas where hot is a daily
word. Is there a replacement seal for the John other than WAX?

Does anyone know the weight of a '92 WB40 (I know they had lots of
add-ons that change this) as listed by Bluebird when sold? I do not
have possesion or the title at this time, and my bank is requesting
the weight so they know the correct fees to quote me on the loan.
Good greif, I am putting more money down on the unit than they are
loaning and they almost have more questions than I did when I went
to look at the unit, go figure
