Kurt,

There could be an idea brewing for us vintage coach people a vintage coach club for a fee we could get a dedicated service/parts assistance from the manufacturer.

Does this have a crushing affect on anyone?

They don't have any parts that I've request the last 15 or 16 calls.

I've heard that there are some folks that like to stay at the nest
for extended times, Great, Good for them, they
should have to pay. If
you own any RV you can pay to camp.

I've been to the nest once, it's a great place, If you want to see
the last threads of the Bluebird Legacy better get there soon,.
Because it's in the SHADOW of it's former self, and may soon be
another fond memory

I don't understand why we can't realize that the Heydays are over.

None of the places, company's, industry's or organizations, do any of
the great, extra or special things they used to do.

Can you say ECONOMICS?

CCW is fighting to stay viable.

If you really want to help CCW,

I agree with Macy, BUY A NEW COACH!

CCW needs to turn around and keep their sights set on the future.
Honor the past and press forwards

I would love to own a 2009 or 10 or 11 All Stainless Steel Coach, if
that doesn't get you going then it's already too late.

I managed to buy an eleven year old coach. In 10 years I'll be
looking
at what they build now. By then it will be in my price range.
But that ain't going to happen unless people don't buy any new coaches

If CCW wants to support the Vintage owner I suggest that they focus
on tech support with as full and complete records that still exists
available to the public. If the costs are high then sell it like
Detroit Diesel does. Create a technology group to research the files
and record data in a usable form for example cross reference BB
numbers with OEM Mfg. Numbers, contact retired employees for that
sometimes obscure bit of inf. Create a department that will hunt down
the parts for a fee, or percentage of the cost. After all that's what
most of us wrench heads do now. In a while they would be making money
and parts would be cheaper and readily available .They would not have
to stock 20 year old parts when in all likelihood they could be drop
shipped from the manufacture

The Nest is
Wanderlodge Lore

Will it survive?

I don't know.

I do know the reality is it has no bearing on me or my coach good or
bad.
