Let's get serious

[Mike Hohnstein]

It would be great to get some evaluation provided by the folks who built ones
Wanderlodge. However, it's not happening with a unit produced over 20 years
ago, who the hell stays at a job that long these days?? Right Randy?? Not
counting my wife.

My thought is this:

I have not had any trouble having the major mechanical components of
my bus(es) worked on. The DD (or Cat in my old FC), the Allison, the
Ridewell components, the air brakes-these are all common truck
components. I may be more fortunate than most, as 1) I have a good
friend who owns a shop that is a dealer for DD, Allison, Cummins,
Perkins, Yanmar, and is also a genertor shop, and 2) I live in
Memphis, distribution and logistics capital of America, which means I
have access to lots and lots of big truck service. I am yet to find
a problem I couldn't get answered.

What I would wish for from Wanderlodge would be the opportunity to
have the things that are unique to a WL evaluated/serviced/repaired.
The wiring. The house systems. Structural issues. Suggested
upgrades. Things like that. Wouldn't you relish the opportunity to
have an experienced tech who had actually put your coach together go
over it and explain what's wrong...or more importantly, what might be
wrong soon if you don't do ABC? I know I would.

I understand that I may be dreaming. But, then again, a WL is a
unique, big-ticket item, so maybe tht level of support is possible.

plate, particularly the ones who feel they need a genuine service
facility to fix on ALL Wanderlodges, and state what they view as a
fair labor rate. Have at it you guys, what are you willing to spend,
actually pull out the dusty wallet and drop some dinero. I'm
sure 'ol Macy will be VERY interested, and such information could
well be instrumental in justifying such a venture.
