Beds - erniecarpet@... - 03-02-2006 05:57 Hi joe- welcome to the forum. I have heard about you and hope you enjoy the forum. Ernie Ekberg- 83pt40 driving ron's old coach [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Beds - Joe Frost - 03-02-2006 07:31 Hi all. I'm Joe Frost and am new on this forum. And I haven't gotten my welcome note from Ron yet. We purchased a 2003 43' Wanderlodge from Bleakley Motor Homes in Atlanta. In the purchase we specified that we wanted a Select Comfort bed. When we got there to take delivery they had put a Comfort Aire bed in. A cheaper alternative. It wasn't bad sleeping on it but I had a terrible time getting into it and constantly felt like I was going to fall out. We complained and they immediately replaced it with a "real" Select Comfort. Much better. At the Rally in the Valley in Perry the maker of the Comfort Aire was there. He bragged about the bed and said that BlueBird had decided to use that bed as an option on future Birds. If anyone has the opportunity to talk to any buyers of new units you might suggest to them that taking the cheapest bed available and ordering a real Select Comfort is the better option. Just my 2c.

My wife (sitting 3 feet from me - she says Hi) can forward me four things and I'll get two of them. Same ISP, same sender, but some things make it through and some don't. As you know but some here may not, I'm not new to Birds. I had a 1990 40' Wanderlodge which I had them build special for me. It was wonderful but I got real sick and we didn't know if I would live, much less be able to travel in an RV. So we sold it. But this last summer we took a car trip from San Antonio to Montana, then to Wyoming, then Bakersfield, CA, then Portland, then the Olympic Peninsula, then back to Missoula, then to Rocky Mountain National Park, and finally back to San Antonio. We found ourselves looking longingly at RV parks the whole way wondering if they had 50 amp service, WI-FI and which sites would get clear satellite reception. We began looking for a used rig when we got back. And we bought our current coach from Bleakley. We had it loaded. We have dual DirectTV satellite, Directv internet, a washer/dryer, a couple of slides and all the other bells and whistles available. Oh, and a Select Comfort bed. There are a few problems. We got a Brake Buddy. Maybe not that brand, I forget, but we've never been able to make the damned thing work. Also we have a LOT less counter space than we had in the old RV. I can't see any way to increase it but I want to get someone with a good imagination to look at it. I thought the extra 3 feet would help but that gave us a full toilet and vanity where before we just had a toilet stall, and an extra cabinet across from it. And that's it. So when we get back from the World Figure Skating Championships in Calgary in late March (flying) we are heading east to Georgia to see what can be done. Then it's west and north and eventually to Alaska this summer. And Joy has a hankerin' to go to Inuvic, 470 miles north of Dawson City on a dirt road. But they have a motel with high speed internet there! So we'll be checking in with the forum from time to time. We don't do much work at all on our own coach but not all the conversation here is how to do things. Regards.

Blair in Oregon [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Beds - remarabito@... - 03-03-2006 04:48 Joe & Joy: We are delighted to have you back aboard. Our 92 Bird is short on counter space also. Really did like our 83 which had an 8' counter in it. A useable kitchen. Shirley complains all the time about the lack of space. All the excess went to the bath like you said. By the way, if you are going to try to make it to our Lone Star Birds Rally in Kerrville in April, be sure to get your reservation in at Buckhorn Lake Resort. The Rally is the 21 thru 23rd of April. Shirley and I will be the host. We have been using the M&G Air Brake system on our toads for the last 8 years. Never a problem and they always work as expected. Just hook up a simple air line between the coach and the car. Hope you have a good time in Calgary. Let me know if you are coming to the rally. R.E.

Presently living in our 84 fulltime and have Earthlink DSL here in the mobilehome park where we park...Do you have a roof mounted internet dish or a free standing dish that you have to set up each time you want internet...I would love to have a roof mounted unit without paying the 4 grand for a motosat.

I'm using it right now in my sunroom at home whilst I do my taxes, etc. I've used it all around the Southeast with connection everywhere I've tried from isolated stops to downtown wherever. Speed varies from about 100kbs to 1000 or more obviously depending on Verizon's network - - which seems to be expanding. Ed Nowokunski 95BMC37 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
