Future of Wanderlodge - cschorr_2000 - 05-13-2007 05:36 Is there any truth to a rumor that the new owners of Bluebird will be discontinuing the Wanderlodge line and building only school and transit buses? The obvious issue here will be the availability of parts and service not to mention resale value. I would think it's too strong a brand name to be discarding.

I would say in my position that at close to 1/2 million dollars a peice one might think that one hell of allot of cash for a vehicle that uses expensive fuel and has lots of restriction on where one might park there rigs. I don't know about you but I think there would be more of a market for a smaller coach with less glider inside. Do you really need lights all over the coach that looks like a Christmas tree lot or so mirrors that show ever oversize curve you may have? Nope I really believe that they could really do a design change with less junk but keep the quality. But there will always be people with more money than they know what to do with and maybe these top end coaches will have a market? I myself find it a little bit over the top to spend such a vast amount and only use it for short durations. But who am I but a retired old marine machinist living on a budget.

We should talk about local services available to Wanderlodge owners. Have not spied your coach around town. Do you keep it here or other parts of the state??
