Not all Blue Birds are alike. ECCB's suggestion is worth considering, per your width requirements.

Several Blue Bird models are 102" wide, such as....
LX
LXi
LTC
Express
Ultra

This is awesome to have. I've been looking at what is mostly for sale around me. I don't really have any time constraints, so I have the ability to hold out for a bus that really meets all of my needs.

I really appreciate everyone's input here. I'm learning so much! Thank you!

EastCoastCB!! I love the Wanderlodges! Thank you so much for turning me onto them. I'm still researching the layouts and differences between the years. I do like the round headlights/front of the bus but I think they stopped doing that in 1986 or so. I started watching Bus Grease Monkey on You tube and he gets a lot of Wanderlodges.

Thank you again!

We got our hands on an 82 FC35SB.
For what a skoolie sells for a WL is friggin bargain.

There's a 31' FC for sale on the WOG on FB. But at any given time there are at least a few Birds up for sale.
You could probably join the WOG and and find someone to let you look in and around their Bird.
