Steering angle on 2000 Wanderlodge LXI

[brad barton]

Conny and Allen,
Dave is more experienced than I am with the LXi, but this is our third coach.
We are glad to be back in a Bird. You have very little to worry about in terms
of operating ranges. The engines are governed to keep them from exceeding rpm
limits. They also have numerous alarms and even automatic cutoffs to keep from
exceeding temperature and other limitations on the road. Unlike airplanes,
they're very forgiving. Common sense and reasonable caution are usually enough.
And while a coach like yours can be intimidating at first, don't forget to enjoy
yourself.
As to rarity. I believe Blue Bird said they made about 40 single-slide and
about a dozen double-slides in 2000. Again, I'm just repeating what I heard
from one of the factory reps, but the 2000 and early 2001 coaches had been in
the design pipeline of the old hands (family and management) before the British
LBO that many believe lowered the quality of the newer coaches. Not to take
anything away from the mid 80's coaches which are legendary, but considering the
brief overlapping of original quality values and newer technology, the Millenium
coaches made be some of the finest made. I sure hope so. Brad Barton 00LXiDFW

--- I'm always glad> to see a fellow LXi owner join the list. I was feeling a
bit> lonely here for a while... Hi David!Funny you should say that, we were
wondering where all the LXI owner were hiding!! We even contacted Bluebird about
it....apparently we are the rarest birds of all!! (Are we protected?) I guess
everyone is working to pay off these rigs and doesn't have time to chat... (As
you can see, my husband doesn't have time to do any posting..)Anyway, your
advice is welcome. We take delivery next Friday so I advise that everyone stays
off of I75 southbound between Ocala and New Port Richey that weekend!At this
point, we have nothing but questions regarding diesel operating ranges (where
the redlines are on all of those gauges), toads, basic maintenance issues and
how best to store in Florida's humidity. It's a case of we don't know what we
don't know...But thank goodness for this forum, we have already learned more by
reading the threads than any of the dealers we have visited so far!Thanks!Conny
