BB Does it again, shooting themselves in the foot

[Tom Warner]

Ernie it is on breaking news at http://www.rvbusiness.com/

But it gets better. It appears that Bluebird did not shoot
themselves in the foot ..........they aimed higher. They will also
sell their commuter coach factory direct.

The Express Commuter Coach is sold factory-direct. For more
information on this product, please contact:
Buddy Cox

Director, Coach Sales
One Wanderlodge Way
Fort Valley, GA 31030

Appears management did not listen to the small group of owners that
were assembled to give them some insight to what people want.
