With the conveniences of home, this sunny and lovingly refurbished 1996 Bluebird conversion provides a safe, nurturing base camp for all your adventures.
In her earlier life, Lady Bluebird worked in a small Colorado ski village transporting folks from town to the slopes. She was gently used and well maintained by her previous owners. After retirement, she was professionally converted and titled as a motorhome, making registration and insurance simple.
We purchased her a few years later and invested in a full mechanical upgrade. A completely new engine and transmission were professionally installed in November 2020, setting her up for thousands of trouble-free miles. Since then, she’s been used for road trips, weekend getaways, and occasional guest-house duty — always starting easily and driving smoothly.
Exterior
- Robin’s egg blue finish (could use a fresh coat)
- Custom bumpers with removable leveling jacks
- Air-ride suspension and brakes — rides beautifully
- Six new tires installed August 2020
- Classic Bluebird steel body
- Undercarriage storage compartments
Interior
Inside, Lady Bluebird feels like a cozy cabin rather than a bus. The craftsmanship of the conversion gives her warmth and personality while keeping everything functional.
