Whittington Woods Campground in Benton, IL. --NOT - dlhurleybird - 05-28-2011 13:45

Dennis and I are Ins. Adjusting the storms in IL. We are in our 1985 classic bluebird wanderlodge in Mt. Vernon IL. We got our RV book out and found what sounded like a great place to camp in Benton IL. When I called to make a month reservation they ask me what kind of RV we have and I told them we have a Bluebird wanderlodge 40 ft. motor coach and then she ask for the AGE!!! Oh,,, and then she said sorry we are booked up till July 4th. I said hmmm are you really booked up for that long or are you just saying that because we have a 1985 bluebird. I knew the answer by the tone in her voice. I was insulted to say the least!!!!!! İmageWe have worked very hard to fix our wanderbird up and it is very very well maintained!!! That's like saying a clissic T-bird isn't welcome at the car show!!! I wouldn't stay at that campground if it was free!!!

You have to lie. I had a '71 vintage Airstream trailer and told those that is askedit was a '89
When I said it was pulled by a Cadilac Esclade they said 'come right in'. Unless you are a 100% RV expert it is impossible to tell one year from the other.
