LXI vs. WB's

[David Brady]

Paul,



I agree with your statement that there's not enough difference

between the 1995 to 2003 WB's and LXi's to be concerned

about. These buses all represent the pinnacle of Wanderlodge

evolution and development. I went over the LXi specs and the

only notable improvements in technology in that age range are

Bendix ABS brakes, 6000 Watts of inverter, and Detroit

DDEC IV. Wannabe's can rest assured that if they want a

Series 60, which gives them an engine still produced and fully

supported by Detroit Diesel, they have a wide range essentially

equivalent Wanderlodges to choose from.

I opted for the rivets for the classic look. 97 was the last year for

riveted birds. Since neither my wife nor I wanted slides anymore, and

since we wanted rivets, it became a no brainer for us.



With the exception of slides and bonded sides, there isn't enough

difference between the 1995-2003 WB43s and LXis to be concerned about.

It really just comes down to what style and layout you prefer. I'm not

getting into the bonded vs riveted wars, we bought what we liked and

have been changing anything we didn't like and we REALLY like our bird.
