What is a "Wanderlodge II"
Hi Scott- a Wanderlodge II is kinda the cheaper version of the regular lodge.
It does not have all the features in the Wanderlodges as we know it. The dash is the same- just a lot of blank switches. It didn't come with jacks, as I remember. But- as our friends Rick and Rosie Archie can attest-- it is a steel coach and can survive a rollover. Ernie Ekberg 83 PT40 Livingston, Montana [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

What is a "Wanderlodge II"
Hi Scott,
The Wanderlodge II was the test bed for Blue Bird to see if they could sell more coaches by introducing options rather than all the bells and whistles included in the standard Wanderlodge. Our unit is the virtual twin of Rick & Rosies' old coach but even between them there are differences. Some subtle and some not. Our coach has the "goat rails" on the roof while I think Rick says his didn't. We do have HWH jacks. We don't have the altimeter, the musical horn, the only fuel filter we have is made by cat and mounted on the engine. Don't have Turbo boost pressure. Didn't have a rear view camera and monitor. In short, I think each of these coaches is unique because of the decisions made by each buyer when their coach was built. My understanding is Blue Bird only tried this for a year or two after finding that a lot of people added most of the features available in a standard bird anyway. I also suspect that building coaches with all these options made the manufacturing process more complicated than they wanted it to be.

What is a "Wanderlodge II"
I believe only '84.
Some of the things omitted from the standard equipment list on the 35' WLII: Diesel Genset (had gasoline), Leather Captain's Chairs, Leather Steering Wheel, Rear Air Suspension, Roof Rack/Deck/Ladder, Leveling Jacks, 3rd A/C, Special Paint, TV Antenna Lift, Digitell, Docking Lights, Icemaker, Safe, Back-Up Camera/Monitor, Musical Horn, Slide- Out Genset Tray, Burgular Alarm. This is from memory, and from original sales materials, so missing several things. Other things, such as the rear air-bags, I've never seen one without even though they were on the list, and many options were added back on to WLIIs so each is different. They might also have the 225hp engine, again I'm stretching the memory to remember. - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Scott Forman" <sforman@...> wrote: > > What years were they made? > > Scott > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, erniecarpet@ wrote: > > > > Hi Scott- a Wanderlodge II is kinda the cheaper version of the > regular lodge. > > It does not have all the features in the Wanderlodges as we know > it.

The dash looked almost empty compared to a regular Wanderlodge.. Jeff Miller I believe only '84.
