Health and the Bluebird?

[brad barton]

Dave,

Any coach is going to require maintenance, new or old. If you have someone who can do the heavy stuff, you can enjoy puttering around the coach replacing cabinet struts, door catchesand light bulbs at your leisure. You'll probably want to be able to at least clean the windshields and drivers windows yourself. The older BB's made it easy with foot-holes in the bumper and handles above the windshield (wish mine did). Also, remember you usually have to get down on one knee to empty your tanks, pull out a cord or get things out of your basement compartment. A fold-up camping stool might makesuch jobs easier. You may or may not need to go up the ladder.Butremember you will go up and down those entry steps many times while loading the coach.

Forum members wholove to talk, brag and argue about their coaches, probably care enough to maintain them better than theaverage owner. If you could justfind a well-maintained LXi with Black and Stainless exterior and Maple and leather Western Elegance interior owned by a forum member within 250 miles of Enid,you'd be all set.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Health and the Bluebird?

We have wanted a 'bird for a number of years, and have occasionally
come close to a purchase.

But we have seen some coaches for sale with a reason listed of
"selling because of health issues". We are not the healthiest of
individuals. I've had a heart attack in '87, quintuple bypass in 2000,
a defibrillator implanted in 2004 and just finished a 6 week hospital
"vacation" with double pneumonia. And just turned 60!

My question to the group: Any idea's about the physical health
required to own and maintain a 'bird'? Major things to avoid?

Or should we just hang around the back yard?
