Howdy, Dave.
We are fulltiming in our 1993 Wanderlodge WB coach. We started this
lifestyle in 1994 in a Safari 38' Serengeti. We were pretty satisfied
with that coach. It was not a plastic palace but was a metal-sided
coach. We went to a Bluebird rally as guests of friends who had a BB.
We were very impressed with the BB coaches and decided that we would
look for one when it became financially feasible. We bought our 1993
BB in 2004.

We have cut our traveling because of the increased price of diesel. We
spend our winters in Hondo, TX and our summers in Buena Vista, CO.
We usually stay in private campgrounds and/or Corps of Engineer parks.

We feel very comfortable and safe in our BB. It is built like a tank
with a lot of quality components. I.E., 3/4" plywood walls. Galvanized
riveted sidewalls, two water pumps, three air conditioners, two
alternators, hydronic heating system,very good quality carpeting that
still looks good after 15 years, cabinets that are made with hardwood
plywood, etc, etc, etc.

Would we still choose the rig we have? Well, that is where Jack and I
have a slight disagreement. I would like to have a slide out in the
living room but Jack is absolutely opposed to slideouts in a
motorhome. Would we choose a Bluebird Wanderlodge again? ABSOLUTELY. I
only wish we could have bought one sooner.
