Better understanding

[Al]

The BMC line does not have all the bells & whistles of the PT
models. The holding tanks on the BMC are 1/2 of the PT. But for
the same money you can get a 5 - 6 year newer Bird with a Cummins /
Allison 6 speed Tranny. A 5 - 6 year new bird means your other
equipemnt that breaks is newer and hopefully will have less
maintence issues. The BMC is all steel except the front / rear
caps. I looked at FT, SP, PT before deciding the BMC was the best
value for the money. The BMC comes in a 38 or 40' model. We chose
the 38 because majority of our camping is in State or Army of
Engineer Parks. Trust me, look over the BMC closely!
