Stir, stir that Blue Bird pot

<< It seems to me that govt. regs. require support for 7 years after
production year ends. The Wanderlodge vehicle was never a cash cow, it was an
exercise in ego of the original ownership.
I don't know how Winnebago would respond if someone showed up with a '75
unit expecting to find a obscure widget that failed after years of service.

I will say this about that (to quote Richard Nixon): Several upper end auto
and motorcycle manufacturers that I am involved with (and Porsche and BMW
bikes come immediately to mind) have found it not only in their best interests
but also apparently profitable to embrace their older vehicles. Which isn't
to say that BMW still has in inventory all of their parts for the 1990 very
limited production K1 bikes (been there, tried to get that part) but within
reason they will still support older vehicles, and in the case of some of the
really ancient BMW bikes they have encouraged enthusiast dealers to
manufacture small runs of older parts.

Also, as the man said, there is nothing on the Bluebird that isn't
standardized truck or bus or even household stuff for it's era. The more that
I get
into our PT-40 the more I recognize the source of the parts.
