Ernie, That's not what I mean. If your message text goes more than one line it repeats some of the last words from the previous line to the second line. The last message did not do it since it was only one line long.

Ernie, This message of mine did it also. The "All" in the first line was repeated in the second line; the "and a" was repeated on the third etc.

What a wealth of information !!!!! That site is now added to my favorites. This is just what a guy like me needs....I will need to go back to this often until I become accustomed to a good portion of the data.
Thanks Markus.

I know that my first question is .......Excluding the new Birds, I understand that some improvements were made in the late 80's??...is there a good year range that I should consider? I know that I want diesel, and I know that I want a pusher. I have much to learn so I don't want to form a wrong opinion about any year.
Thanks

Pure gold info . I can clearly see how this could be a great model for zeroing in on the unit that would best suit our needs.
Thank you for this info.

From: Pete Masterson To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, November 2, 2009 4:48:15 PM Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Thanks for the invite The list of model year changes on Vintage Birds is very helpful. A couple of key considerations:
Air suspension was available in 1980.
Wide Body pushers introduced in 1989.
FCs phased out within the next year or two.
42/43' pushers with DD Series 60 introduced in 1995.
When I was first considering what I might want I used these guideposts to narrow down my decision making. At first blush, I decided I wanted air suspension (so that eliminated pre 1980 units).
Eventually, I narrowed my consideration to wide body pushers -- and
finally, the desirability of the DD S-60 over the 8v92 pushed my choice to a particular '95 ... but I'd have still gone with a '93 or '94 had I found one aggressively priced when I was looking.
Your evaluation may be different than mine -- but I give it to explain one way to narrow down the choices.
So, think about "must have" (or "must _not_ have") features:
FC or Pusher?
Wide body a must?
Air suspension?
Are there any other "must haves" -- e..g. AquaHot/Webasto heat? Mid entry door? etc.
Consider too the engines.
Those with the Cat 3208 tend to be a little underpowered (some would say). Turbo units are better, but power increases usually accompanied weight increases so the relative power-weight didn't change much.
8v92 and S-60 generally have sufficient power, so that's not much of an issue for the pushers...
Realize too, that some features are only a consideration if you have particular needs. If you plan to spend a lot of time boondocking (off the grid) then an all-electric coach or one with a home-type refrigerator may not be the ideal choice. But if boondocking is _not- important, then it's a neutral factor.
And so on...

Maybe we have a problem - you spoze? I certainly wouldn't be the first on this old (3 Yrs.) laptop computer. However, I noticed the same thing on our home desktop.

Thank you Joyce & Richard,
For giving me a heads up regarding the upcoming sale of your *& B<>B. To give you an honest answer...I am so new to this search, I cannot say for sure when we will make a final determination as to which way we will be going. Having said that ....by all means we would like to see your unit. Please keep us in mind.
Thanks Ron & Maryann

I don't see the repeated words on either the original or your quoted messages.
If it is a problem it would typically be with whatever program you are using to read e-mail with, or with its settings - not the hardware itself.
