PT40 vs SP36

[Leroy Eckert]

Burton, you are about 30 miles from my home. If you want to come up and look at a very well maintained coach it is in the driveway. It would not hurt to have a wash job but its raining. I will walk you through the whole coach, the systems, and give you an idea of ownership. I have a full set of records you can sit and read. I will even give you a beer or soft drink. Your choice. As for the State Parks I have had mine at Amicalola Falls, there are several spots that it will fit; the only problem is the sharply elevated turn at the circle so you are limited to the upper 4 spots, otherwise you drag the back of the bus. I have been to Unicoi and Fort Mountain. No problems. Just pay attention. We go the Etowah River Campground often, it is family owned and is 9 miles from my home. No cable TV but who cares, we use SAT T. There is also Turners Corner and several other public campgrounds around. R Ranch is near here; a privately owned Coast to Coast campground but when space is available anyone can go. As far as the genset, I have never used it in the State Parks because they have power, water and a dump station. If needed mine is so quiet it is hard to hear it run 15 feet away. Warning, my coach will spoil you, then you are hooked. lol Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors Dahlonega, GA Royale Conversion --- On Sat, 1/10/09, blackmarjohn wrote: From: blackmarjohn Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] PT40 vs SP36 To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, January 10, 2009, 7:04 PM Ok I have taken the advice to heart and in the process of opening my wallet. Moving from looking at FC projects, to get in and go PT or SP. I have heard the sp is the corvette of the Birds but they also appear to be hard to find and expensive in relation to PT40's. The market appears to have have lots of PT's for sale now any reason why? I assume bigger is better and the 8v92 is preferred over the 6v92? The series 60 coaches are still to far from my new expanded budget. Is a PT40 too big for camping in state parks in the south east? Are the generators quite enough for national parks? We are in Atlanta and wold like to use the coach for weekend trips within 150 miles of Atlanta to control expenses and get our feet wet. Maybe summer to Yellowstone any thoughts on this would be helpful as well. Thank you all for the help. Burton Wannabe Cumming GA
