450 LXi and A Little History
the construction material has nothing to do with having slides or not.the real
problem was safety(not a problem with BB's) the powers at BB resisted slides
because in there minds they are not safe.when BB started to use the bigger
windows in the salon area of BB's this is how they tested the body,with all the
sheet metal in place and the window holes cut out they place 3000 lbs of steel
on the roof of the bird.they measured the opening before and after placing the
weight.just placing the weight on the roof was not enough,they left it there for
a week before they were sure that there would be no problems. and that was just
for a window! there was no way that they would ever put a slide in a coach!

Maybe Blue Bird should have change from steel body constuction to aluminum
just like Newell then they could have had a slidout years ago and all the rest
of the goodies that the motor home market demands.Even bus conversion dont have
a 300 gal. fuel tank or tank like constuction.Had Blue Bird cut back on the
heavy duty constuction back in the early 90s all kinds of hell would have broke
out.
