Re: Concerns regarding 2002-3 fiberglass cracking Reply #20 – May 12, 2012, 08:08:44 pm Not completely germane to this discussion, but for the record, the Blue Bird Wanderlodge overweight issue is only a problem with the M450 which was in production from 2005 thru 2008. All other Wanderlodge models are well within GVWR and all provide a very comfortable CCC margin. There's no weight issue for an entire 43 year period, from 1963 thru 2004. Skin is steel, endcaps starting in 1990 are FRP (structural fiberglass).David Brady'02 Wanderlodge, LXiSeries 60, Living Room SlideNC Quote Selected
Re: Concerns regarding 2002-3 fiberglass cracking Reply #21 – May 13, 2012, 02:35:42 am My 2003 is a late build from that year, and I suspect the steel reinforcement fix was done by the factory when it was originally built instead of as a repair. As I stated earlier, my coach has never had a repair done, and shows no sign of end cap cracking. I love the seamless look of both the body (with endcaps) and the one-piece slideout. I couldn't be happier having a 2003 Foretravel. Quote Selected

You guys have been great, but I think for the benefit of all, some real solid base of info needs to be nailed down so the issue or questions can be put to rest. right now, i think questioning is still fine. ron Quote Selected
