Newer Wanderlodge For Me...Or Not?

[brad barton]

David,



I've upgraded twice from an 84FC35 like yours to an 86 Newell toan LXi. Outside of the money, I have not regretted moving up (and if money's the most important thing and you don't live in it, an RV is hard to justify).

Our 84FC was one of the nicest-kept used coaches out there. Exterior was a little faded and dated but the interior walls, laminate, carpet and upholstery were top of the line and good as new. But we had one of those stuck fresh-air vents up front, the corner queen was a little awkward and the switch from a 3208 in front to an 8V92 pusher was a major upgrade in power and cabin comfort. Our problem with the 86 Newell was that their quirky engineering and proprietary parts were getting hard to find and fix. What we like about our LXi is halogen instead of flourescent lighting, AquaHot (no problems so far) and superior power in the Detroit Series 60. It is inevitable that age andmiles will result in maintenance issues on electric,water and airlines. I would say that well-maintained wide-bodied BB pusher with everything working would have virtually as many creature comforts and conveniences as anything on the market, regardless of age.
