Hello All. Currently the owner of an 84 Airstream motor home, I am doing research into the purchase of a Wanderlodge. I have lots more quesions than I have answers but since I don't want to burden the forum, I will limit myself to a couple of questions to begin with. First of all I am interested in the body material and the labor required to maintain it. I became a believer in figerglass boats long ago from the standpoint of low maintenance, I wonder what the maintenance load for the Blue Bird body is? All I have been able to discover so far is that the body is steel (although it seems some of the very late models use composites to some degree). Is this stainless steel or is it plated or painted? What about rust? I sure don't want to spend my retirement scraping and painting to prevent rust form destroying my motor home.
Second question is about power plants. I have seen Detroits, cats and cummins all represented as power plants in the Blue Birds (rear pushers). Is there a best choice here? Are there power plants to avoid? Is there one that is best from the economy standpoint? End of interrogation...
I appreciate any and all assistance in my search for answers.
Dan
