==Welcome to the Blue Box Wiki!==
The purpose of this site is to create an encyclopedia of all things Blue Bird Wanderlodge. There are several very good resources already available that the wiki should help augment. Some of these resources are:
''Dear Wanderlodge Owner:''
''Congratulations on being the owner of the finest and safest production motor coach in the world'' - ''the Blue Bird Wanderlodge.''
''We all work hard to keep our Wanderlodges the best ever built. At the same time, we also recognize your need for more and better information about your coach so you can enjoy it to the fullest. To that end, we have prepared this site for your information. The purpose of this site is to create an encyclopedia of all things Blue Bird Wanderlodge. We hope you find this helpful as you acquaint yourself with the many luxurious features of your coach.''
''I want to personally thank you for visiting, and we invite you to collaborate, participate, and contribute to this wiki. It takes all of use to make this a better resource for all owners.''
''Thank you again, and welcome to our Family of Friends!''
- ''Braden & Rich''
