02 Royale interior refurb

[rdkpotter]

Hello all. I am going to get some interior work done on our coach.New tile floors, header, recover couch and dinette seats in leather and some other entertainment system work. I'm considering Royale Phoenix in Indiana but live in Texas. Any experience with Royale Phoenix? Am also considering a couple places in the Dallas area but am concerned that they may have limited Prevost experience. Any thoughts? Any input will be appreciated - thanks in advance.

I would highly recommend Jeff Rowe's East Tennessee Luxury Coach. Geo.

Thanks Corey. Just looked at their web site. Appears high quality which is what I'm after. And wouldn't entail the 1000 mile drive!

The drive is well worth it if you're going to have that much stuff done to your coach. Jeff does very nice work.

There is a great place in your back yard, Texas Custom Coach, Coach Works, Leisure Coach, all the same place just outside of San Antonia do a search have two dear friends both with XL 2,s Royals that did compleat interior remodles both very happy and the real kicker is there per hour labor rate 65.00 an hour the lowest in the country and there work is first rate. They have produced New Leisure Coach Conversions and also produce Entertainer coachs. Check them out if you want referencs I'll put you in touch with everyone, good luck Bill

Thanks Bill. I will check them out. This is our first coach and we absolutely love it and the different lifestyle it affords. But we just haven't found what I think is outstanding quality service. And I like the idea of being fairly close by to address any issues that come up.

Congrats on the upcoming upgrades Rich!

We are finishing up a full remodel on a 99 Royale (bamboo/granite floors, recovering sofas, etc.). I'll post some pictures this afternoon.

Thanks Kyle. Nice looking web site and good looking work. Will share with wife who is driving this project. It seems to be growing daily! Rich

As far as convenience Texas Motor Coach is a good choice. They do good quality work as well. They are very versed in Prevos as well. There are other good choices as well that are closer than Indiana from Texas.

Very nice looking job.

We just finished with an extensive remodel with Texas Custom Coach. They did a great job - we were really pleased with the outcome. Thank you for all the suggestions. If you want information on what we did and lessons learned I'll be glad to fill you in.

Rich,

It's always nice to hear about a job that turned out the way everyone wanted it to. Thanks for posting the pictures and the comments. Enjoy your new bus!

Dale, where did you get to see Rich's post of pictures after his remodel.

Does anyone know where to get the Sentrek compass/outside thermometer?

I'm looking for a small display with outside air temp, altitude (based on GPS, not barometric pressure), and direction of coach (compass). But haven't been able to find anything.

[dale farley]

Sandy,

I missed your post before, but I now see what you are asking. I didn't see Rich's pictures. I saw the ones Kyle (tradewinds) posted and mixed his pictures with Rich's comments. That's what happens when you get old. Of course young girls like you wouldn't know anything about getting old!
