Hi all, yes the name $quanderlodge is the present name of the coach, itbelonged to the previous owner, butit willbe put it up on ebay to the highest bidder soon LOL.
I love this part of the country but like anywhere it has
its pitfalls, parts availability, and comardareship with other owners. We have attended a few rallies but travelled many miles, the closest was about 1000 miles.
We have used our coach somewhat, not anywhere as much as I would like to, and I don't really care about the cost of fuel, (presently $1.32per litre)the bus is to be driven LOTS, and it likes it best that way. We took it to a friends 50th anniversary in Lethbridge Alberta, return trip about 2000 miles, what a pleasure to drive and stay in.
We have two dogs and don't have to worry about places to stay and things like that.
Without the trailer, the bus feels like a "Porsche", it has lots of giddyup and go,not so with the trailer behind.
With the PT's I do not know of the gear ratio's, but with the FC, it depends where one lives. Living in the hilly country of BC, the 4:11 gear ratio is tootall, and from what I
understand the 5:29 would be too low, I think the 4:88 or 4:56 would be the best all roundcruiser, both on the flats and in the hills.
Jim - yes 78MPH top speed at 2600 rpm, and with new shocks, new tires and everything else that seems to work right, it does not wander or steer bad either - a real pleasure to drive.
Deborah - don't overlook these older coaches, they are nice, and some folks have done some nice modifications to them.
There are enough experienced people on the net here to look at a coach with you, and don't be shy in asking, most of us would be more than willing to go along and help you out.
Good luck - don't forget to look in those barns that you pass either, who knows there might be one hidden away.
