FC vs PT re; Repairs and Complexities

[Mike Hohnstein]

I've been RVing since 77, had truck campers, fifth wheels, and several class As.
To me the FC Wanderlodge is a hard act to beat if one like retro things and
doesn't need to have a new vehicle every couple of years. I got over that when
I couldn't find the time to use the units we owned at the time but the payments
came due every month. Worst experience was the 36' Southwind that was one year
old and had to have a side replaced and the frame straightened. 7 mos. in the
shop while I made the payments. It was under warrantee but I didn't like the
experience.
A Wanderlodge will last for generations if not subjected to the elements, left
sitting under a tree in the grass for instance. That's what I want, don't need
a slide room.

Mike...the pop of trailer was not serious.

What has been your observation having moved from your FC to the "newer"
PT? Similar systems and challenges...other than a bit newer?

I actually am not averse to mechanical efforts...just have learned that
the "learning curve" is painful without direction.

My preference after reading adds for a year is the '91-'95 PTs. Seems
like the interiors are more "modern" and wife actually likes what they
look like. One question is determining what they actually sell
for...many are priced high and just sit there.

Maybe you could share (by e-mail) your buying experience vs pricing in
the various adds? Also, where did you find your PT?

Thanks for your input...those BB's are sure unique!...Tom Rootness in
