What happen to the M380 - gepatch - 08-20-2005 11:29
Does anyone know what happen to the M380?
Was it poor sales or tech problems?
I had a 2003 double slide M380 while waiting for my Prevost to be
completed. I enjoyed driving it but had a lot of mech. problems
during the year I had it. The slides quit 3-4 times, the jacks
wouldn't go down, the tranmission wouldn't go into drive because one
of the sensors said slides was out, the outside skin was buckling,
etc.
The BB techs were great, they told me what wire to cut, which switch
to replace, etc.
After getting the Prevost, I miss driving the M380. I liked the
small size and the ability to go into a grocery store parking lot
with out wondering if I had enough room to get out. In looking
around, there are no high end 38 footers around. It seems everyone
wants 45 ft
The BB tech, that I became to know verry well, told me that they
were completely redoing the M380 and all the problems with the skin
and slideouts were fixed. That was about 6 months ago. I just called
the BB dealer and he told me the 380 was discontinued, that BB had 2
on the line. When they were completed the would be no more M380's.
I've heard stories that, BB sales are way down and they may drop
motorhome's altogether and build just school buses.
Does anyone know the true facts?
I would hate to buy a new M380 and find out that my BB tech friend
gets laid off and have no one to call if the slide got stuck while
it was out.
Thanks
