Becoming a Birdman?

[Gregory OConnor]

Dave, 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. The safty point never did much for me because the
windshields were the same thickness. The convincing factor is Ride,
Style, and timeless appeal. Look at the Brinners' Bus on the
homepage of this forum, Beautiful
