New Bird look

[Gregory OConnor]

I like the lighter colors of the interior and the curved cabinetry.
It is an art putting color and texture together. I respect the
designers that can make the elements work as they did in the bus.
the one thing that is disturbing is the fit of the fabric on the
sofa. the curved corner section , all the cusion ends and back of
drivers seat seemed un fitted. It may be easier to critique fit in
a 2d pic unvisited. that is why I point it out. Vessel sinks are
cool, dont like the rock vessel but love the glass. confused why the
cabinet under one sink had door tops exposed? I think the
workmanship of the cabinets must be breathtaking in person.

The exterior may show up better in person and on the road. LeroyE
needs to do some engine compartment detail and dressing to make it
appealing to owner operators. CCW customers are fleet buyers who
hardly lift the hood. Lift the hood of a proud Peterbuilt owner
operator and take note.

The BBQ in Johns factory photo is way cool. Ekard stainless magic
would also do wonders with a outside kitchen fit and finish.

The slide corners are a big disapointment. A coach with the razor
corner slides is one of the distinctions of coach and camper.

The logo is cool but too big, might work for DonB 's petstore but
not a private coach. Raised, the logo has dimension but looks cheap
( may just be the 2d effect). I like it to say wonderlodge someplace
near the door and off the back. reminds your guests to keep their
feet off the furniture and answers the questions to the CountryCoach
drivers you passed going up a grade. blue light is over done on sat
dish adversising and no way would I glow one on the road in
California.

The prevo partybus conversions are in the onemill area so I think
it is in line, I would hope the Wonderlodge was not much less than a
comparable Prevo conversion. Why should it be?

I hardly ever get thanked for my opinion. Strang how folks ask me
what I think ??????
