Title: Wanderlodge/Blue Bird 4000 LXI
Post by: MrMisfit on December 16, 2022, 10:02:36 AM
I know they quit making this chassis in 2007. The question is can you still get parts for these things? If so do you know where?

I know it is difficult right now. But I believe 3D scanning and one off production will keep things going.

Join WOG, Wanderlodge Owners Group forum (not on Fakebook). Somebody on there will have, or know where to find, whatever you need. WOG is to Wanderlodges what BCM is to buses.

There are some different opinions of those EXPRESS 4000-4500 as well as the Q line. Some claimed that they were modified school buses but they seemed to be built from the ground up regardless of the platform. It's too bad that new company didn't last very long but time marches on.
