1991 Sidney Clark Wanderlodge

[Michael Heavener]

Mike
Does the fact that it is a Royal conversion have an impact on resale down the
road plus or minus? Who is Royal and are they considered on par with the factory
conversions? Are there issues with documentation with a Royal conversion? How do
you go about finding a baseline price to start working from to get to a value
wholesale/retail at todays market. I have looked on the various sites and I am
seeing asking price spreads of 40K+ for what appears from the adds to be similar
if not equal units. It also appears that since the price of fuel has gone up the
market has gone soft on prices, your thoughts?
What about insurance and routine upkeep what are realistic numbers to budget
per year? I will use the coach monthly on weekends with a few longer trips mixed
in during the year..
I have owned and airplane and a 36 foot house boat so I have some idea of the
cost of toys. I would just like to hear from someone first hand what they are
finding. I live in Florida so I guess I need to look into what type of taxes are
involved with owning a coach. Does it make sense to incorporate in another
state? If so which ones are most favorable?
Thanks for any help anyone can be.

Michael,

Welcome to the forum. Sid's coach is one of the relatively rare
Royale conversions of a Wanderlodge from the early 90s. It is a side
isle bath model which makes for a very private 'master' bedroom. The
interior was very elegant with rich hardwoods. It is a really nice
coach. Like most coaches, it had a few things that needed fixing, but
nothing major that I know of. Ralph Fullenwider did a PDI for another
member, so he may have more particulars to add, but this is a nice
coach. Sid was a miantanence tech for the USPS and he was always
working on his coaches, so I expect the running gear to be in good
shape. For some people, it is a negative that the Royale conversions
did not have a roof top goat rail, aluminum diamond plate on the roof
or a ladder to access the roof. Other than that, it was a
Wanderlodge with a rich interior and the interior amenitites were
similar to my 91 Wanderlodge. Maybe Ralph will add some more to the
story. Someone is going to get a nice Bird.
