Blue Bird Migrates to More Competitive Market
*Georgia Firm's Wanderlodge Div. Transitioning to Dynamic
High/Middle of Pusher Sector *

Production is expected to begin in June on the redesigned Blue Bird
Wanderlodge from Blue Bird Coachworks Inc., Fort Valley, Ga.

The 2008 45-foot Wanderlodge, seen here as an artist's rendering,
is designed with revamped front and rear profiles, side-swinging cargo
doors and a new exterior lighting package.

The coach will be built on Blue Bird's proprietary 54,000-pound
GVWR bus chassis equipped with a 625-hp Cummins ISX diesel
pusher engine and will be 15 inches longer than its predecessors.

"We are stretching the body out to a full 45 feet, which allows us
to do some interesting things with the bathroom configurations and
also provide more closet space,'' said Fred Vandenberg, director
of motorhome sales and marketing.

Each coach will be custom built -- including floorplans, slideouts
and interior amenities.

"It makes it a little more difficult to build, but each coach is basically
a clean sheet of paper for each customer," Vandenberg said. "If the
customer has no preconceived notion of what they want, we can
give them some suggestions as a springboard."

When the new Wanderlodges are available this fall -- it takes four
to five months to build each coach -- retail prices will start at $745,000.
