What is a "Wanderlodge II"

[Eric Johnson]

Hi Scott,
The Wanderlodge II was the test bed for Blue Bird to see if they could sell more
coaches by
introducing options rather than all the bells and whistles included in the
standard
Wanderlodge. Our unit is the virtual twin of Rick & Rosies' old coach but even
between
them there are differences. Some subtle and some not.

Our coach has the "goat rails" on the roof while I think Rick says his didn't.
We do have
HWH jacks. We don't have the altimeter, the musical horn, the only fuel filter
we have is
made by cat and mounted on the engine. Don't have Turbo boost pressure. Didn't
have a
rear view camera and monitor. In short, I think each of these coaches is unique
because of
the decisions made by each buyer when their coach was built.

My understanding is Blue Bird only tried this for a year or two after finding
that a lot of
people added most of the features available in a standard bird anyway. I also
suspect that
building coaches with all these options made the manufacturing process more
complicated than they wanted it to be.

Regards, Eric
