Fulltiming

[Ryan Wright]

Dave, I lived in my coach for several months last year, and would do
so again in a heartbeat (and probably will some day). Few things,

1. PT-40 or bigger for me. Couldn't imagine living in anything
smaller. The PT-40 is nice, though, plenty of room for one person. I
personally feel it would be somewhat crowded with two, but to each his
own.

2. I love my '86. There is more storage in my coach than any coach
I've seen yet. I have storage in overhead bins up front and in back,
countless drawers and cabinets, etc. I'll probably upgrade to a newer
coach one day (only another Wanderlodge... likely a 43' LXI), but I
doubt I'll be able to find one with as much storage, even if it is 3
feet longer.

3. When I travel, I boondock whenever and wherever I feel like it.
Parking lots, rest areas, truck stops, side of the road, you name it.
It's more convenient (no reservations, no driving around looking for
my camping spot, etc), allows me to live "on the go" and as I please
without schedules, and significantly cheaper (every time I've stayed
at a campground, it's been $30 - $50 a night. I'd rather burn a gallon
of diesel running the genset for electricity as needed). That's the
beauty of a Bird, especially this PT-40: It's the ultimate boondocking
rig.
