All slides, a paint job that cost more than the supporting structure, must have ran out of glue when they stapled this one together.  Kinda like new houses where the showcase granite countertops cost more than the cabinets that support them. Bling it on baby! cause we know who is making the purchasing decisions in most households.

I don't think that's gonna buff out. "stepped-on shoe box" springs to mind.

Laugh now but if a big bird hit our GV front cap, there would be no survivors. That tree was big enough to squash anything like a bug.

Truly that was a big tree. I would like to think a FT would not have its roof meet the floor in that situation. But I am certain I don't want to find out.

Serious front end collision with any of our FT would likely end up dead. The front of the RV is just fiberglass and glass.

Weeellll, a high front collision, above the bumpers, yes this would be no good. But I cannot get too concerned about that, seems to me most anything you're likely to run into is also going to collide with the bumpers, which do indeed have a lot of structure behind them. That said my sincere intention is to not run into anything in our coach!

Bluebirds yes but not Wanderlodge. Quite a family too. Strongest bus on the road! But then I have one too.  😁😁😁😁. But looking for newer rig so now looking for an FT. We like the similar quality.

Bluebird school buses still being built.  Bluebird RVs no longer manufactured, but great forum support and "most parts available elsewhere.

Had 2 Bluebirds, now a Foretravel.
