Readers comments:

Marc Pennington :   As a former employee of close to ten years at Complete Coach Works. I was blessed with the opportunity to work closely with Mr. Dale Carson. I could go on and on about why I have so much respect for Dale. However I will will keep it short here and just say this. Blue Bird could not find a better leader or a better man to lead them into the future than Mr. Dale Carson.

Former engineer :   It's good to see that Blue Bird Wanderlodge is still alive and kicking. I was an engineer there up until the 1991 layoffs (due to the oil spike during the first Gulf War). Hopefully, Complete Coach Works can keep it competitive and profitable. Best wishes!

yuri :   If you go back coaches that were built in the 90 es to the 2003 model you will make a good coach i have had a 93 and now have 1998,also----build a 40 it is still the best seller.

M. Conner :   You mean replacing the electroluminescent dash with fake wood, swapping the sleek aircraft style cabinetry and replacing it with the cabinetry found in the most posh Adirondack cabins and scraping off the luggage rack and ladder for a "almost as good as prevost" look wasn't a good idea? Let's hope Complete Coach gets Wanderlodge pointed in the "Ultimate" direction.

former employee :   over the last 5 years the previous management of bluebird wanderlodge drove the once proud coach company into the ground.ignoring owners and employees efforts to make improvements.as a former employee,i hope that complete coachworks will once again take the company to the heights it deserves

Bret Hughes :   I have a 1985 Blue Bird Wanderlodge and it is a wonderful coach. I only hope that Complete Coach don't in any way reduce the quality of these coaches.
