Boy looks like the bottom is falling out of the Old Wanderlodge
Market. Also looks like someone changed out the engine to a 250 HP
engine. Might be good if you need spare parts. Just think someone
probably paid in 1978 money $90,000 or so and today you can have it
for $5000 dollars what an investment. I wonder how the tires are? Do
you think there within the age date for not changing out the rubber.
Well I guess if some wants a big project this might fit the bill but
I think I will just sit on this one and watch my old Wanderlodge and
thank god its paid for. Now where to find fuel under four dollars a
gallon.

I don't think you can extrapolate much about the value of older BB's
on the basis of some of these adds. I think a realistic value for and
older FC is in the 25K to 35K range MINUS what it needs to make it
right. My suspicion is that this coach needs it all and I have seen
similar. In my search of a year ago I found a couple that I don't
think I would have taken for free due to the work required. This is
like looking at 55 Chevy cars. Some are not worth $500 but oh boy I
wish I could take my pick for 25 to 35K. So I would not worry too
much when you see these give aways. On the other hand I mentally
have written off my investment and I will enjoy the coach and look at
what ever it brings as found money. I bought what I could afford to
buy and into that I factored the resale value or lack there of. Life
is short enjoy. I plan to.

John I was only being bodacious about the market for Wanderlodges.
But like I said if a person wants a big project than this could be
the one. Oh yes I think its a 33 footer as the generator area looks
as if it were a gas generator. Jon
