It appears that Wanderlodges are mirroring the issues being faced by GMCs, except maybe worse. Tires can hit $6k and mpg is 6 with toad.

I know they are really nice coaches and all, but they are not going to win a beauty contest.

Don't need one... but if I did, I'd take a long look at the Birmingspam one with the 3208 in it.  I've installed several gensets with that engine, they seem to hold up well in generator service.

Different use.

Less of a "traveling machine" but a lot nicer for full timing.

The way I see it, motorhomes fit roughly into two categories. The ones like our GMC's are designed for "going." The motorhomes in other category (most SOB's) are designed for "staying."

The Wanderlodge, is one of the "tougher" designs of the staying category. If (when) my needs change, I'd consider one. Like the GMC, it isn't going to deprecate like most SOB's.
