Back Again-Looking for Wanderlodge to part out
Hi Mike,
Too much time or too much Corona...could be either. Here is a link to the bus
project, I think I posted it before, but it does have finished pics:

I've added a King Cruise cruise control (nice unit), flat screen TV/DVD and
switched the original EB3KW Honda for a 4KW Honda RV genset (liquid cooled,
remote elect. start). Took it to Llano last fall for Thanksgiving, Moab twice
this year and to Miller Motorsport Park in Utah for the World Superbike races.
Got interviewed by the local paper about the project and they wrote a nice
article about it with pictures and everything, Thomas is famous! (to me at
least).
The new Bird has the same 8.3L Cummins but has a 5 speed Allison World with a
6 stage tranny retarder, runs and drives great. I'll get some pictures this
weekend. Pretty loud paint job, but a clean rig overall.
I was really dissapointed to miss out on the BB in Grand Junction and have
considered the gas BB in AZ that is posted on Buzzys (so is the GJ Bird).
I think the new pusher with the engine/tranny setup combined with a classic FC
interior would make a first class combination.

Thanks for the shout,
Doug Engel
