Joe and Kay Losh have the coach that was right after mine on the assembly line.
As others have said- the differences are amazing.

Not only the differences in these coach between years. At the Quartzsite
rally several of us found it interesting the differences between coaches
of the same model and year. We came to the conclusion that Bluebird did
not build any two coaches the same.

power problem - Pete Masterson - 02-10-2007 13:35
Starting the generator with shore power plugged in might not work
right -- the "safe line" switch may continue to receive power from
the shore connection. Don't know, for sure, 'cause of the different
electrical setup from year to year.
Before you go nuts taking things apart on your coach, unplug the line
from shore power, and use your tester in the shore power socket. It
looks some thing like this:
0
I I
I
The semi-round at top is Ground, the center, bottom is neutral. Left
and right are red or black. Use your tester to check from left to
bottom (=110?), right to bottom (=110?), left to right (=220?), and
top to bottom (=0?). (Left or right to top should also = 110).
If the shore power is anything other than this, then it's wired wrong.
Do you have a polarity light in your coach? It should indicate
"normal" polarity, otherwise, the shore power is wired wrong and
there's a risk of serious or fatal shock when you step off the coach
to the ground.
