New Bird

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

I was doing some Factory warranty work when I was out on the road and that
was on a M 380. While repairing a broken ground and replacing a pneumatic
valve that was defective. A couple drove by and stopped and said " That is
a beautiful Motor Home! What is it?" It was explained that it was a
Bluebird Wanderlodge then the couple said, "we thought so but was not sure,
don't the Wanderlodge's have a railing on top?"

Well, it is nice to see that someone finally took note of the Signature
trait of the Bluebird Wanderlodge and re installed a resemblance of the age
old tradition of the "goat rail" on top of this new addition to the
Wanderlodge line. There will be no problem telling a Bird going down the
road now or espying one from the road when parked in an RV park.

Well done to the crew at CCW Bluebird Wanderlodge division. Please don't
forget to include a set of schematics with each Coach. I am looking forward
to seeing how you integrated the multiplexing and divided it among the
separate systems in the Coach and sort of break out panels were used. Sure
would be nice from a diagnostician's point of view to have a touch screen
diagnostic program built in that would at least localize any given problem,
then isolate the problem to an area. Ah but that would be dreaming of
course? To have a 3 hour diagnostic problem taken down to a 30 or 45 minute
in and out and the customer is down the road instead of being admired by
passersby on the side of it.

It will also be nice to compile a lit of the high hitters of down time so
the customer can plan for that at some future time and have the knowledge
needed to be able to prioritize the preventative maint schedule to minimize
the down time, and we as owners are familiar with down time but as a united
group is gaining the knowledge to do just that with the older units.

Again, kudos to the design team, the interior team, the maintenance team
and most of all the team on the floor putting all the parts together and
with the age old pride that is expected from the finest in the world. You
truly are World Class!!
