I continue to get excellent support from factory personnel for my 1984 FC. As an example I just got a new Atwater hot water heater for my coach from them in four days plus technical advice on how to install it. Time will tell and I judge them more by what they do than what they say. Two things in our favor on the older coaches: 1. Many chassis and engine parts common with commercial trucks and will be available for years to come.
2. Blue Bird has sold a lot of school buses that also use many of the same parts and they will have a significant incentive to support the older chassis into the future.

Blue Bird is going through an assebmly line change. LX and LXi chassis, having solid front axles, are manufactured in the school bus factory while the new M380 chassis, with independent front suspension, is manufactured in the Wanderlodge factory. It appears that LX (40') and LXi (43') models will be phased out in favor of two new models, to be built in the Wanderlodge factory, and here identified as the M410 (41') and the M450 (45'). The new models will probably have the new front suspension and a composite skin to reduce weight and improve ride and performance.
