1991 Sidney Clark Wanderlodge
Hello Forum members,
My name is Michael Heavener and I have been reading and educating myself by way of this forum for several weeks. I do nor currently own a coach but the time is drawing close for me to jump in. This group has been very informative thank you for the education so far. I have been looking at BB and Prevost interestingly I have not been able to find a Prevost forum that is anywhere close to as active and informative as yours. Which at this point is causing me to lean more towards a BB because of the access to knowledge. With that said I have an interest in the 1991 Wanderlodge that Adam Clark is selling for his deceased father. Is there anyone on the forum that is familar with this particular coach and if so would you be willing to share what you know with me? If not what do I need to be carefull of on this year and model and what questions do I need to ask. I have looked at the buyers check list but I am sure that there are other things that I need to know. I am no mechanic but do know which end of a screwdriver to hold. I am not looking to be full time I am looking for something for Myself, wife and 15 year old daughter to do some sightseeing in. If you do not feel comfortable sharing information on the forum and want to email me directly that is fine heavener328@.... This is my first post of any type so if I am not following the rules someone please let me know. Thank you Michael Heavener Orlando, Fl Wannabe |

Michael,
Welcome to the forum. Sid's coach is one of the relatively rare Royale conversions of a Wanderlodge from the early 90s. It is a side isle bath model which makes for a very private 'master' bedroom. The interior was very elegant with rich hardwoods. It is a really nice coach. Like most coaches, it had a few things that needed fixing, but nothing major that I know of. Ralph Fullenwider did a PDI for another member, so he may have more particulars to add, but this is a nice coach. Sid was a miantanence tech for the USPS and he was always working on his coaches, so I expect the running gear to be in good shape. For some people, it is a negative that the Royale conversions did not have a roof top goat rail, aluminum diamond plate on the roof or a ladder to access the roof. Other than that, it was a Wanderlodge with a rich interior and the interior amenitites were similar to my 91 Wanderlodge. Maybe Ralph will add some more to the story. Someone is going to get a nice Bird.

Hello every one:
As Mike stated, I did do an inspection on Sid's Coach. While I cannot go into it in detail, I will say that while there are a few issues, they are nothing that would be cause for extreme concern. Sid and I talked about many of the items before his passing. there is some body work that needs to be done on the drivers front fender area, caused by a tire blow out. This Coach drive ability is very good and is worth the time and effort of anyone whom is interested.

My name is Michael Heavener and I have been reading and educating......With that said I have an interest in the 1991 Wanderlodge that Adam Clark is selling for his deceased father. Is there anyone on the forum that is familar with this particular coach.... Michael, There are quite a few 91 WLWB owners on this forum who would be glad to answer your questions. If you've been reading this for a while you're probably familiar with the checklists. Just ask if you have any questions. This 1991 is a popular coach because it had a widebody and taller interior. My son is 5'18" and he really sees a difference between the old 78FC and this 91. There are some good owners on this site who will inspect the coach for you. Good luck and enjoy.

You have a great opportunity here. I think you might have two 1991 BB for sale
within driving distance. Check them both out..... Randy also has a 1991. You owe it to yourself, when spending this kind of money, to at least check out both units.

Mike;I own a 91 WLPT 40 I just got back from a 2000 mile trip to Houston
Texas, the only thing I can say about the coach is it's the finest piece of equipment I've ever owned.We love every thing about the coach.matter fact we will stay in the BB to nite and it will be down near 10 degrees to nite and I except to be as comfortable as my home.The firest thing I would do if I purchased the coach is steam clean out the raditor.I did not do this when I purchased my BB and last summer when we went to Yellowstone park the engine over heated because of all the trash in the raditor core.Well good luck on your purchase.

Mike
Does the fact that it is a Royal conversion have an impact on resale down the road plus or minus? Who is Royal and are they considered on par with the factory conversions? Are there issues with documentation with a Royal conversion? How do you go about finding a baseline price to start working from to get to a value wholesale/retail at todays market. I have looked on the various sites and I am seeing asking price spreads of 40K+ for what appears from the adds to be similar if not equal units. It also appears that since the price of fuel has gone up the market has gone soft on prices, your thoughts? What about insurance and routine upkeep what are realistic numbers to budget per year? I will use the coach monthly on weekends with a few longer trips mixed in during the year.. I have owned and airplane and a 36 foot house boat so I have some idea of the cost of toys. I would just like to hear from someone first hand what they are finding. I live in Florida so I guess I need to look into what type of taxes are involved with owning a coach. Does it make sense to incorporate in another state? If so which ones are most favorable? Thanks for any help anyone can be.
