Looking to talk & meet with BB Owners in So FL
John and Pat,
I also am a longtime sailor and boater who recently jumped into a
Bluebird with no previous RV experience. I must say, my many years of
dealing with boat systems has helped a bit, but there are a lot of
additional systems to learn. I bought a 1990 SP 36 that was a bit of a
fixer upper. I have spent most of my spare time the last 2 months
getting to know her and repairing everything that needs it.

My overall impression of the coach is very positive. Everything is
very heavy duty and built to last. That being said, the systems to me
are overly complex, lots of complicated gadgets to do very simple
tasks, ie, the air step system, air dump valves etc. My experience
with boats was to keep them simple, anything that can break will
break, and at the worst possible time. I have tried to simplify
systems on my Bird as I work on them, but there are still miles of
wiring, air lines and plumbing to look after.

By the way, we are heading to FL the first week in April, we will be
in Orlando, and possibly might run down to Stuart to see family. I
would be glad for you to take a look at my Bird if that works for you.

Best Regards,
Dave
