Want to buy Bluebird
Dorn, Sounds like you are doing pretty well. I liked the MF RV. I
think I know what MF stands for :-). How did you find driving it as per keeping it going straight down the road? It took me about a 1000 miles to get reasonably comfortable with that. It seemed to me that sitting forward of the steer wheels really affected the correction of the steering. Changing fluids and filters is always a good idea. I about pooped my pants when they told me the thing took 21 quarts of oil. I have not serviced the transmission but that will be done soon. These ole girls take big drinks of oil, gas and antifreeze not to mention diesel fuel. I try to keep the fuel tank topped off so it doesn't seem so bad. I will have to look into a gas only card. You are correct if you can save 3% that is getting to be significant. The fellow that had mine previously said the third owner spent $1000 installing remote mirrors. They are nice. Yep keep the wife happy. Has she driven it? My wife will not touch the driving of the Big Napper and to tell you the truth I don't think I would be a very good passenger. Dale, the fellow that owned my BB before me owned her for nine years. He said that the first time the wife drove the BB the younger son wanted to ride along but apparently lacked some confidence in the mothers driving skills. His solution was to dawn his bicycle helmet and climb into the one closet. This really tickled my funny bone. I will think of that story most every time I take her out.
