Jim, there is something you should know about Harry, he doesn't speak in metaphors, he speaks
the truth. :D
Gary, you could now try those things while getting down the road, or, you could try Jeffs suggestion, Belly-Dancing lessons!
Just close your eyes and try to picture some of these guys doing that:eek:
Gary, I too do a lot of cooking and plan to be @ pog3 without a bus. If you want something to do share some of your recipes and mobile housekeeping secrets with me. :D :D and maybe Harry could join us and share his secrets too. We could just hang with the gals and have fun while everyone else gets dirty!!:eek:
JIM / No wheels for now....
Quit being a pessimist and plan on having your new ride at POG III. They are making and selling them every day. There is one out there for you.:D
Then the collection of nut cases can help you with more advice than you can stand.
John, I'm beyond help. I am already making up my own answers.:D:D:D
I know my bus is out there but it costs twice what I want to pay for it. I am patient and I will just wait. I am not like JPJ Jeff, buying three in one year, or Jeff B. with so many in the garage. I only want to buy the (right bus) one time, and keep it up for aro 15 yrs. or so. After that it will only be talking with friends about what we used to do. I know there is at least one other in the group that waited over a year to make a decision. I have not looked that long. I am still gathering info and trying to figure out what is truly important and what is just a whimsical notion of grandeur. Some of you may think this is a foolish attitude ( you can not find the perfect bus) but I want to try.;)
I was thinking of sending my wife Barb to truck driving school to get a class A CDL. Then I could let her drive while I bake cookies and sip lemonade while reading classical literature and petting the dog.
Complicating this all is; my heart is in the stainless, but the H3 is extremely desirable. Slides are not necessary,but they sure would be nice, and on, and on, and on.
By self diagnosis I believe I have a case of MPD. I think I have it under control. Ha! JIM

Hi Jim. The Quest can be just as fulfilling as the purchase. But, there is nothing better than Journeying in a Prevost! Enjoy life, buy a Bus!
Jim,
I'm with ya...I've been looking for 8 months now (plastic coach took 18 months-but what a deal !!)...I know it's out there too but I've just not found it yet. I'm pretty busy right now and that's taken some of my "bus hunting " time but I'll find it one day soon.
Education seems to be VERY important. I know exactly what you mean about prices being twice what they seem they should be. Some people are very unrealistic. Now that's where the education comes into play. The more we know the better we will be at making sure we do not make a mistake...
I too have MPD, not really under control, but I'm living with it for now.
Gary's right, the search is fun and makes the purchase that much more enjoyable.

IF you happen to look on Ebay for a bus, I found something recently which made my life a bit easier.
You can now save favorite searches. I have a search which searches for "Prevost Bus" in the ebay auto area. I saved this as a favorite. And now, every day where there is a new entry which matches the search, I get an automatic email. I think there were 2-3 new busses listed this morning!
Makes it nice, you don't have to searching yourself, just check your morning email!
First of all, MPD by definition is a terminal condition. And the trick to it is that just when you think you have it under control, it is getting worse.
As to our swapping around, we kinda live in Prevost alley down here along the freeway in Florida and have been lucky enough to buy a little lower than market at the end of the season and make a buck or two on the coaches in order to move into the camper we wanted.
Since Mango cut me off his credit card, we've been on our own, minding our own bucks. I don't get it. He considers family ahead of his POG buddies. Maybe he is just in one of those MPD phases when reality strikes?
Anyway, we know several people who have been looking at coaches for over six years and have never bought, thinking they could find the 'perfect' coach. Not sure that such a critter is out there. There are only a couple hundred a year produced and most people don't have theirs for sale, requiring buyers to be somewhat more flexible in making choices.
You'll know it when you see it.
