Parliament Coach

[rickdesilva]

Last December the team from Parliament was an exhibitor at Pelican Lake's RV show. It was time to do some interior and electronic upgrades to my Thompson. The cabinet over the drivers area housed an older TV an with the outdated nav system, DVD, satellite TV, inverter controls, generator controls etc. So since I can't do a total coach upgrade like the more affluent car dealers in POG, I decided to go with Parliament to do a partial upgrade. We added a flatscreen, new forward cabinets, upgraded navigation and audio systems. I dropped her off about a month ago and so far here are the results.

The word from Parliament is that fellow POGers have made field checks. We're about 95% complete, the communication with Mike Costello has been great and I can only anticipate that the quality of workmanship is just as good. I follow up after I pick her up.

Rick, it looks GREAT. Do you have pictures of the front before they stated the work? I'm sure you can't hardly wait to get in there and start playing with stuff.

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Sure looks good Rick! How exciting is that, new toys to play with.

Before and After

[dale farley]

Very nice job Rick. The cabinets on the sides really finish it off with a practical and modern touch.

[JIM KELLER]

Rick, That looks great. The color and texture of the cabinets appear to be right on. Are the gages mounted on the right side ? Glad the job is turning out to your satisfaction. That way they wont have to deal with Cousin Tony.

Its a good thing Cousin Tony checked on that job. Sure looks great now.

I would hated to see the wire brush job those guys would have gotten had it not turned out so nice!

My coach is at Parliament for some work as well. I am picking it up on Friday. I have had them do upgrades for me on the last 2 coaches. It has always been a very good experience and great workamanship as well.

Parliament sent me a discount coupon to share with members.

Make sure you get one before you pick your coach up and pay for service.

I have not yet posted it but can send you a copy to print and apply to your total.

Here is a link to the coupon on the Parliament Site: http://www.parliamentcoach.com/3122010.htm

Rick

The finish sure looks great. I am sure you are excited to get your coach back.

Rick,

Really nice job. IMHO, Parliament does some of the best interior work of the coach converters. I wouldn't hesitate to take my coach to them.

[rickdesilva]

So here's the wrap up. I got to Parliament late Thursday night. I was given access to my coach after hours, so I had the opportunity to play with the audio and video upgrades. Everything was as expected, great workmanship and what a difference. I purchased a Silverleaf unit and had them install it. The problem was where to put it. They attached it on top of the dash and fabricated a cover which makes it look like it was always there. Bottom line, great workmanship and customer relations.

[Sid Tuls]

Looks great Rick if they weren't so far away I have them put one in for me. Just goes to show there great workmanship!!!!!!

Rick and Wendy:
Your bus looks great. I'm sure you will enjoy your new toys! Take a detour through TN sometime and camp for a night. We would love to see you and the dogs and your updates.
