Jerry,

One of the hidden benefits of owning a BB is the standardization of
it's heavy duty and RV parts. Although BB gives excellent service, you
can also get excellent service right down the road from them at Bealky
RV. If you are in FL, you can go to Parliament for excellent service.
Holland, in Michigan and San Dieago have an excellent reputation.

Anyone who services RVs can service the RV stuff, and anyone who
services buses and over the road trucks can handle the chassis and
engine "stuff". Parts are more readily available for BBs then any of
the other brands I have owned.

Just my 2 cents

Blue Bird coaches are generally of excellent quality. The chassis was
built as an over-the-road passenger coach (or, before 1989 as a
school bus). These vehicles are built for long commercial service.
Most of the components are from standard, heavy duty bus/truck
manufacturers -- Detroit Diesel, Cummins, Allison, etc. So "factory"
service is not necessarily much of an issue.

Blue Bird has had some financial difficulties in recent years and the
Wanderlodge division was just sold to Complete Coach Works, 1863
Service Court, Riverside, CA 92507. Phones: Office: 951 684 9585 Fax:
951 684 2023; visit their website at: <http://www.completecoach.com>

Factory support for older Wanderlodges has been acceptable in the
past -- and a fairly good supply of unique parts is usually
available. It remains to be seen exactly what support will be
provided in the future... but the new owners, seem to be making the
plans to maintain an excellent relationship with current owners.
(Indeed, a representative will attend the Southwest Blue Bird Rally
in October at Buelton, CA.)

I will say that I haven't needed to call the factory yet, after
owning my coach for over a year ... but the support I receive from
this list has been outstanding and has added immensely to the value
of my coach.
