BlueBird wannabe... I WANT TO BUY A BIRD .....

[Leroy Eckert]

Ugh! Ouch!
Rule #1: Never buy anything unless you touch, smell and feel it. If you do not
feel comfortable with inspecting the Bird, someone out there on this Forum can
check it out for you. If someone on this Forum knows a particular Bird that may
a different story.

Rule #2: You and your young family are going to be riding around in that hummer
and they are relying on you to keep them safe. It is important that all major
components of the coach are mechanically sound. You can address cosmetics later
if you chose.

If you quickly plan to upgrade why not consider the upgrade now as opposed to
quickly later?

Excitement is great. The Birds are great. Get the best one you can for the
dollars you spend, and that one may not necessarily be the first choice.

Happy Holidays;

Hello, I have been researching BlueBird Wanderlodges for a few months
& my wife & I are now ready to buy our 1st BB. We have a family of 6,
3 boys under 7 & 1 newborn baby girl. We have a burning desire to
travel our great country to discover all that it has to offer and
expose our kids to the grand USA! We actually are looking for a place
to relocate our family and computer-technology business away from the
crowded land of southern California.

We have a very small budget... but we realize that our $$ needs to be
spent on an older BB instead of any other RV. We already have visions
of starting off with our 1st BB and quickly upgrading to the next BB.

Does anybody know of an older FC for sale???? I am currently looking
at an 80 FC33 located outside of Houston, I found it on Vintagebirds..
does anybody have anyhints for buying a BB without actually driving it
1st??

I am considering buying it and then flying to Texas to drive it home...

Thank You in advance for any help...

Brian
