Pre-purchase Inspection

[Brian Paul]

Hello POG members. I am new to this forum. After years of owning production motorhomes, I am planning to purchase my first Prevost. I understand the importance of a pre-purchase inspection. I'm just not sure where to look for help in this regard.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Thank you!

Brian Paul

Hi Brian and welcome to the POG. Hopefully, others will give you some more input, but this link will give you a check list to look for when you are searching for Prevosts. file:///Users/dalefarley/Desktop/PDI%20Inspection%20(1).pdf

welcome to POG Brian. If you were a do it yourselfer with past coaches im sure you'll know enough to get a good self inspection. Purchased my coach last year and everybody that was recommended to me for inspections either didnt call back or was too busy. 1 was outrageously priced...a scammer opportunist as i saw it. I bit the bullet and bought anyways....and everything that could go wrong did....BUT im better for it now. I learned alot about the Prevost and my converter....I also lucked out....mostly everything turned out to be minor or easy fix (my generator radiator had 5lbs of sand in it)
I can tell you this...if you are buying from private sale and they dont have invoices for chassis work (air bags, leveling valves, suspension, shocks, brakes seals etc) then more than likely its needed...and very expensive! Dont get me started on AUX air lol
What i didnt know then that I know now is pride of ownership...it will show. all interior lights and exterior changed to LED, new headlights, meticulously labeled items in organized storage...those are the signs of a great owner....hope this helps ya a bit!

Good Morning Dale: how do we make your link work? I would love to see your list.

That link is on his computer, not online.

I was able to locate the PDF by clicking Dale’s profile and then on “articles” when I scrolled down I found his PPI article which has the checklist. Hope this is helpful.

Sorry for the confusion on the link I posted. I should have just said, " go to Articles on the top line and download the article on this subject".

Thank you to all who replied! It is comforting to know that I have support fellow POG members. Unfortunately, the deal fell through on the coach I was interested in. I am still looking for the right one and will certainly reach out again, once I have a pending deal. Thanks so much!
