I did a search on a 2006 Bluebird Wanderlodge and they were mostly 450's and I didn't see any with a bath and a half. There were a couple 45 footers but not with the bath and a half either.
You mentioned 2006, is that the last year they made the Bluebird Wanderlodge? It does look like a very nice coach, is it more like a Prevost on a bus chassis?
Oh, Bluebird of course, I've seen school buses and commercial buses with that name, just didn't know they were used for conversions.
Thanks,

Just thought I'd throw it out there and not sure if or how many were made with a bath and a half. I mentioned 06 because it's probably gonna be in that $200K range for an exceptional one. They are considered one of the best and people have traveled from afar to bring home the right one. There was a nice looking one with 3 slides in the Starke FL KOA this past Sept. but didn't see the owner to talk with him. I believe that 09 was the last of them and most came with big Detroit Diesels.
As others have posted, they are a superior coach, built for the road and should last forever with decent care. Can't say how I'd compare them with a Prevost for example, but they are both commercial type buses and I don't think the Newell is, even though a very nice high end coach.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'd rather buy the quality of engineering, than the newness of it all for the same money. Again, you have to keep them up and nothing is cheap on them, so not like buying parts for my old relic. In fact, I'm going out to install a gray pressure sw. for my autopark indicator light that just arrived from Amazon for a paltry sum of $16.
