Becoming a Birdman?

[Gregory OConnor]

Kerry, I had a 69 Travoco 220 what a fun camper.The 318 in the Travco
fiberglass camper will run circles around my 500 hp 40 ft diesel
bus. The cat-Foretravel has got to perform better and get more mpg
than the cat-Bird (weight). The safty points never did much for me
because the windshields were the same thickness. The convincing
factor is Ride, Style, and timeless appeal. Look at the Brinner bus
on the homepage of this forum. Beautiful

When I pulled into a campground with my Travco people would lock up
their belongings. Now when I pull up in my Wonderlodge people come
over to check the bus out , then go back and lock up their
belongings. If I had a Foretravel , no one would notice I checked in.
