Wanderlodge Question
I think the pros for the Wanderlodge are: The community (this forum
and others); simplicity (the mid-90's coach follows the same basic design criteria as the earlier coaches (Ridewell suspension, etc); consistency (Wanderlodge has been doing it since 1963); ease of maintenance (HWH jacks makes tire changing easy, all English hardware, shares most heavy duty items with the trucking industry (Brakes, air dryers, etc.); and safety. Pros for the Prevost are: 2 million mile "over-the-road" touring coach chassis/suspension that's been continually evolved, world class. Cons for the Wanderlodge: Old chassis/suspension design, choppy ride and so-so handling. Cons for the Prevost: Many different conversion companies with varying level of expertise, some no longer in business. No real community (most Prevost owners don't wrench their coaches). A good bus, but not tough like a Wanderlodge. If I were driving to El Salvadore I'd take a Wanderlodge (the c-channel backbone makes pulling it out of the mud easy, the Ridewell suspension is bullet proof). Similarities between Wanderlodge and Prevost: both uses Detroit Diesel engines, both use Allison transmissions. The mid 90's Prevost use a stick axle up front like the mid 90's Wanderlodge (No Independent Front Suspension). Both are all steel constructed buses. -----Original Message----- |
