I have been following this thread and just noticed your rhetorical question.
"Who the hell stays at a job that long these days"" Well, here is one. Jessie Gibson at Wanderlodge Technical Support. Its my understanding he has been with Wanderlodge roughly 28 years. I have contacted him on several occasions and was grateful for his assistance.

Hi Bill,
You know you are right on, about the cost of our sports or recreation costs... you know it is really funny when we go out to get into a sport of our choice, we do not question the price of $1000 for our golf clubs or the cost of the the admission to the golf club... the price of our yacht at the yacht club or slip fees, or repair to our boats... But really question the price to fix our vehicles, whether a car, truck or BB... Then it gets to be questioned... Why do we have to pay so much for our BB or car or truck, they are only means of transportation??? The only thing that I can say about the venture into a BB is that this is what to be expected of a coach that is 20 -30 years old... You have to maintain it or give it up no matter what the costs... just my .02 cents Sea Ya Larry NYC 84 35FCSB ----- Original Message ---- From: pattypape To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 6, 2008 9:06:04 PM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Let's get serious The first few and last sentences are for Mike H. Rates at our home base in SouthEast Michigan are about 95/105 per hour. We visit family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and schedule truck/chassis pit work at a trusted garage for about 65/75 per hour. They will also do some RV Work. Rates at the BB dealer in Michigan, last checked three years ago were about 95/105. They are too far away to travel and I do not need their help, once was enough. Fortunately our drive train has been a solid performer. But I would use Cat, ZF, and a Big Truck Tire Store. And also fortunately, all the other work, With the help of these forums, I have been able to perform myself. Such as Fluid/filter changes, radiator rebuild, hoses, belts, alternator/batterie s etc. motorhome electrical system, rv appliance repairs and replacement, & some upgrades. I would suggest that one needs to be somewhat skilled at repair work to own any motorhome, or have deep pockets or stay home. Most of the problems are broken parts, so ya do some research, ask questions, then ya just fix-it. Many problems especially in a complicated BB are intermittent. Sometimes you hear the noise, sometimes not, sometimes there are electrical Gremlins sometimes not. So how much does this cost to fix???, When it happens at the most inconvenient time??? Who pays for this hourly time???? No experience will help find the hidden , bad ground, frayed wire, or random intermttent circuit boards. Sometimes electrical/mechanic al parts are temperature, humidity, vibration sensitive. I have chased a few electrical issues for 2 or 3 years, to find the culprit. If you ask a mechanic to go fishing for trouble, do not be surprised at the invoice or if the problem re-occurs.

It is amazing how much one can repair. House electrical, plumbing, and numerous mechanical problems. Most important I try to stay within my tool box and skill level. This means anything bigger that 3/8 drive is too big a problem for a driveway, or campground. With good routine maintenance and most common trouble repairs completed between trips. These Birds will continue to roll with quite a few problems, that are in need of repair. Bottom line for me: this is a hobby and a life style, No one knows where or when a failure will occur,,, if it does I will pay any price to get moving again. My feeling is every time I repair or replace a part ,, I have money in the bank for a future failure. Lastly, for us this is great fun and recreation, When you are having fun, you do not get money back. Golfing, fishing, Sports events, or any other form of recreation that we enjoy costs bucks. So, If I need help I will gladly pay the going rate for that area. Hopefully it will be in Germantown, Wisconsin, or Archer, Florida or Duncan, Oklahoma.

Lots of very good observations and points made on the topic of expertise and
costs of getting things fixed. Our goal with factory service is to provide a fair labor rate that properly reflects the cost of doing business, the cost of skilled technicians, and making a fair and reasonable profit. My goal for the future is to set up more service only dealers so we have better coverage throughout the United States. A factory certified service dealer however, is going to be required to have their technicians attend initial AND reoccurring factory training, have a factory approved list of proper repair tools, factory trained parts technicians, and a minimum parts inventory. Having met these requirements they will be added to a list of factory authorized service centers authorized to do warranty work as well as service work. I can think of no better source of referrals for possible service center candidates than all of you with your experience traveling the country I am sure each of you have ideas of who to invite and not invite to the family. I would appreciate and will seriously consider all suggestions. THANKS Macy Macy Neshati www. completecoach.com http://www.thelegacyreturns.com http://www.bluebirdcoachworks.com email: macy@...

THANKS Randy, we really appreciate your support. I continue to believe that
Mr. O'Conner isn't really against us, just skeptical and needs to see our words transferred to action. I hope to make him a believer some day. I am not sure I will succeed but I will NEVER stop trying. I am also fully prepared for the fact that even as special as I think the 2009 is, there will be critics. We have to be ready for that, but I think the vast majority of our loyal BLUE BIRD family will be proud of us, and will love the 2009 as much as I do. Again I can't thank you all enough, the support has been overwhelmingly positive, lots of it via private emails that not all on the forum have seen, and even the guidance of our critics has been an inspiration to do better.

Macy,
Appreciate the responses regarding better BB service. I know it's difficult to compare coach factories, but... When I owned an '86 Newell, I took it in to Miami, Oklahoma for service in 2004. Some of the people who performed the factory maintenance on the coach actually remembered the coach when it was first built. They showed me things only the builders could know. Assuming your most senior service personnel are more than just long-term freeloaders, they are probably your most valuable resource. The people who knew the Luce's character, generosity and commitment to excellence had to be heartbroken over the compromises they were forced to make following the LBO's of the past. Motivated, experienced people make a difference. Since Wanderlodge owners pay extra for quality, I believe most owners would pay a few extra dollars to have people of that caliber supervising their repairs and maintenance.
