Maiden Voyage Complete!!!

[Mike McMahan]

Corey, I did not realize that you were in Dallas. I live in Waco
and own a 96 and have had several other Birds. While I am not in the
same league with Ralph I would be happy to spend an afternoon or
evening with you going over the coach and its systems. There are
several other knowledgeble owners in the Dallas area who I am sure
would be willing to help. Mike McMahan 96 42' Wanderlodge
