'95 Wanderlodge for sale
Hi Pete
Just read your reply to LeRoy. I agree with you. A Blue-Bird ownership /trip is like flying. I retired from USAirways 757/767 and bought a BB. I really enjoy that Bird, the trips, the mental challenges etc. Therefore I do not miss flying at all. Sorry for interupting, but you know..

Leroy,

I've enjoyed owning and driving my 'bird -- I wouldn't trade the experience for any other. But after long conversations with my spouse, the "lifestyle" isn't exactly what we want. Toss in some financial complications (we had planned to sell our home, but got caught in the real estate market melt down, so it didn't sell -- and now it's current value is so low that it's better to hang on to it -- but I also have an expensive mortgage to pay) and that kind of sews up the decision.
If money were no object -- then, perhaps we'd keep the coach and focus on several Western US trips we'd still like to take. But, money IS a serious consideration for us.
Twenty years ago, I took flying lessons and learned to be a pilot. We took several trips -- and enjoyed them. But after a job-related move, the time and cost of keeping up my license became a burden, so I let it lapse. In retrospect,
I'm glad I did it, I wouldn't not have done it, and we fondly recall our trips in (rented) private aircraft. But, I don't need to go back to that pastime. The RV experience is much the same way for us.

We just returned from a great trip -- about 8100 miles across the country and back. The bus ran great, we had no "mishaps" -- and we had a great time.

This is an early announcement of our intent to sell our coach. We've now seen enough of the country to realize that there's no place (quite) like home --- and our needs don't currently include having such a large RV.
So, our coach is going up for sale after I get some clean up and some minor repairs completed. Priced to move at $99,000.
1995,
42' 6" wide body, diagonal aisle (gives a more private bath room) with DD Series 60, 470 HP engine.
Recent upgrades, repairs include: Bamboo wood floor, new radiator core, new muffler, new generator cooling fan motor, revised 'forward salon' with large desk and filing cabinets. (Desk and filing cabinets are easily removed, if you prefer some other arrangement. )
Since we've only been home a few days, I haven't finished the clean up nor have I taken photos. A selection of photos from when I bought the coach are available at
<http://homepage. mac.com/aeonix1/ Bluebird/ PhotoAlbum10. html> Note that these photos reflect the coach as it was before the upgrade floor and revised forward salon. If the weather cooperates, I'll have some new photos by next week.
