1992 Bluebird Wonderlodge - J - 09-26-2005 16:42
I am brand new to your group and very much wish to purchase a 1992 Wanderlodge.
It has a
grand new Detroit 500 hp engine in it and seems very clean and nice.
I would like any and all opinions -- good or bad -- from any persons in the
group.
My biggest concern is having a thorough inspection prior to purchase...
I also want to know where I can take it for service in the So. CA area...
Many thanks for allowing me to join. Hope to be able to join you all on the
road one day
soon.
thank you.

What is the year, model, and length of the coach? How old are the
tires?

John, I looked at that coach in May if it is the same, Canajo auto
sales. The salesmen talked too much and his stories conflicted then
he lit up a cigarette in the coach. I got a bad feeling but for the
most part the coach seems nice they wanted 139k then I eventually
found a 94 . Take your time. give me a call if you wish

John, Hopefully Tom McCarthy (aka Tommy Two Shoes) who lives in the SO Cal
area and is a member of all the BB forums will chime in here with a
recommendation for service. Congrats on the new BB.

that has to be the same salesman I encountered at the
same place. I agree about taking my time. I have found
the people on this forum very helpful in referring me
to folks who can do a PDI type inspection to see what
is lurking under that beauty. Romoland... where is
that? thanks so much and best wishes out there with
your BB.

John,
I am in the San Diego area. I use Valley Power Systems (formerly
Valley Detroit Diesel Allison) for engine/drive train. You can find
a location at this link. I use the Miramar location.
<http://www.valleypowersystems.com/branches.htm>
Holland Motor Homes, a Blue Bird dealer, is right off Rt 52 at
Convoy between I-5 and I-15. They know Birds but they are not
cheap. Loren Swartz is the service manager. If they cannot do a
PDI there, he might know someone who could in the area. They are
located at:
Holland Motor Homes
7490 Copley Park Place
San Diego, CA 92111
858-874-4444
Make sure that whomever you have do a PDI knows Blue Birds or you
will waste your money. They are unique and complicated. I just
found out yesterday that Blue Bird had HWH custom make the leveling
system on my 95 PT42. Why, I do not know yet but it is not the off
the shelf deal.

Romoland is in Riverside county one hour from the dealership. I
would not pay airfair and $500.for some one to look at the coach. I
looked at the engine and they have documents that you can look at and
call to see if the warranty is valid. Make the calls and have the
dealer take it to a RV repair shop (of your choice) nearby for you to
have the genset, ac step and all the major things looked at. (Vintage
birds.com has a check list).If you are unable to fix the little
things now and then maybe a 13 year old coach is not for you. I was
told the dealer burned up the engine on the way home from an auction
in Vegas. It does not matter what they say, you have to look at what
it IS. I offered 95K and they called me back, but after I spent it
on my 94. If the documents on the 8v92 check out and, all the major
appliances check out 30k off the price would buy a lot of minor
repairs and some fuel too
