I've been shopping around for an entry-level FC35SB for a while and finally found an '82 in Gulf Shores, AL. I sent over a deposit and will be picking up in a few weeks for the drive back to Charlotte, NC. In the last (2) years it has had tires, batteries, airbags, kingpins and inverters amongst other items. Seems to have the basics covered for the trip home. I've been lurking around and reading up on all I can regarding maintenance and common issues.

Thanks,

What I wanted to track down are the type of fluids that everyone recommends....

Detroit Diesel 8V92 Turbo
Oil type / brand:
Coolant type / brand:

Allison AT 755
Transmission Fluid:

Hydraulic Oil type / brand:

PowetTech 15KW

I know there is a lot of opinions on these subjects, but I need to purchase and have on hand for whatever might come up while traveling, at the very least know what to ask for at a supply store.
Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance

My wife and I recently bought a '77 FC to join the fun.

There's a lot of work to do, and we are looking forward to learning more and sharing in the experience.

Earlier this year I bought a 1987 Wanderlodge PT38. It's equipment is a Detroit 8V92 turbo, Allison 4-speed, Kohler/Yanmar genny and the usual Wanderlodge icing on the cake. Under 70,000 miles, under 4000 hours.

It was a bit distressed and I took it on as a refurbishment project... having never worked on an RV in my life. But I've dove in at the deep end of projects before. It was assembled by hand, it can be fixed by mere mortals, right?

Over the past few months I've only been able to get a couple things done. I had the engine checked out, and the shut down solenoid rebuilt. Oil change, Racor cleaned, oil sample sent to the lab. Good to go!

(The first time I started it it wouldn't shut down, and there was some nervous tinkering while we tried to find the fuel shutoff cam. Later we added a lawnmower throttle control cable to shut it off with!)

After that I put all new tires on it. Really good to go!

I've taken the rest of the summer off and hope to address some of the other issues. (Generator won't run, hot water heater on the blink, stairs don't deploy... etc.) So I'll be on here mooching free advice and sharing what I find out.

Cheers!

I thought this a bit unusual, since it was a one owner unit and I even had shown that every registration from day one showed the chassis vin on the title and listed it a camper. I could sort of get changing from camper, because FL recognizes a camper as something pulled, not driven.
Has anyone else ever had this issue?

Let me first say that I also joined WOG;
I want to learn as much as possible.

Anyway, I do not own a wanderlodge yet, but sure am dreaming lol
Really like the mid eighties PT's

Right now my budget is limited, will have to wait another year but in the meantime I like to learn as much as I can.

Thanks,

A little about me. I’m a married 56-year-old and a farther to a beautiful 23-year-old daughter Ashley. I live in Bayside Queens NY. I used to own a 1993 31’ Tiffin Allegro Bay. Currently I own a 2007 Holiday Rambler 23’ Augusta Sport class C. I hope within the next year or two to either be the proud owner of a BB Wanderlodge or Prevost. I’m leaning towards the BB Wanderlodge. In the meantime, I hope you let me hang around here to soak up as much Wanderlodge knowledge as possible.

If there are any BB Wanderlodge owners in the surrounding states of NY I would like the opportunity to see a Wanderlodge up close.
