Misleading Info from Sellers

[Eric Johnson]

Hello Hoss,

I had to look at a long list of rigs in 2000 before I found one that I thought
was the right
one for us. It was a Wanderlodge II found just South of Chicago and we still
have it 8 years
later and are happy owners. A lot of factors involved in finding the right
combination of
features/condition/price that fits your needs and situation. I encourage you
and the wife
to hang in there until you find the one for you.

FC's are good coaches, including the Wanderlodge II's. They offer low front end
cost,
better mileage than larger coaches and a quality motor home experience for the
first
timer.

You wouldn't shop for a new car with the expectation that you're going to buy
the first
one you see. Motor homes are at least 4-5 times more complex than a car so take
your
time and learn what's out there before you make your decision.
