I am an experienced RV'r and have restored in the past 2 old units. A
69 Winnie and 65 Cortez. We have an 02 Bounder DP but I am bored. We
live in Mexico 6 months of the year and have travelled south in our
truck campers here a lot. I would not take my Bounder to the South. SO
I thought maybe an older BB would be strong enough to handle the bad
roads. I am a former Hot Rodder and can do mechanical work that is not
too intense. Have been an FMCA memeber for more than 20 years and seen
lots of BB's at rallies but never paid too much attention. I have a
million questions. What is a PT? Fc is of course a Forward control.
When did they go to air brakes? Are the air brakes better than the
hydraulic? When did air suspension become standard? Is the 3208NA
underpowered? First year for Turbo? Are they all Allison 4 speed?
Perhaps you can steer me to a website with some of the answers? I was
thinking of something under $40,000, maybe less. 1986 or newer. Is that
possible? Thanks and I will have more questions.
