width of coachs

[Jeff Miller]

PT stands for Pusher, Tag-axle. All Wanderlodges with tag axles are
PTs, although the advent of the WLWB: WanderLodge Wide Body in '88
dropped the official use of the PT name.

The other BlueBird pushers would be the SP: Single-axle Pusher, and the
Spartan-Chassis based BMC: BlueBird Motor Coach which was built in a
370 non-tag-axle pusher and a 40' tag-axle pusher.

As far as width, all Wanderlodges titled as '87 and older were 96"
wide, in '88 the widebody 102" PT (WLWB) became available and was
standard for '89.

It might help to go to the http://www.vintagebirds.com site and look through
their History section, much of this information is in their photos and
specs there.
