We are Stephen and Zoe (sandz).
We are purchasing a 1985 Prevost XL so we joined POG. Seems a sensible thing to do!
The last 3 years we have been fulltime motorhome travelers in an Airstream Landyacht 36 so this is a big step up.
So hello and happy this group exists. We will be learning as we go along and value the info and knowledge here.
Welcome Stephen & Zoe and congratulations on your new Prevost. I am sure you will find it a bit more roomy than the Landyacht. You will also notice it has a few more working parts, so don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
Congratulations, Let the fun begin. And Be SAFE !
Welcome aboard. Who converted it? I had an 84 chassis.
Congratulations on your new ride. Enjoy your journey.
Welcome to POG! And congrats on the purchase of a Prevost! We also had a 1985 XL, and still love the fact we had one. Loved the sound of the 8V92 engine. That engine has one fault in my opinion.........it is very sensitive to overheating if the cooling system is not kept REALLY CLEAN! If you do not have positive evidence of the radiator being recently cleaned, PLEASE HAVE IT CLEANED! Then enjoy that awesome machine. Hope to meet you down the road!
Wow, Thanks for the welcome!
The coach is a 1985 Royal Motor Coach Conversion with a unique yacht like interior. 117000 miles, 17k on the engine since overhaul.
Needs tires (look new Michelins aged out) but otherwise in running condition. One of the 3 cruise air is inop but I am hvac savvy and certified. (Not Certifiable yet I hope). Thanks for the info on the cooling system, might upgrade radiator if it needs it but will definitely keep it clean. We will be in this coach for the long haul.
Planning on installing solar and lithium system too for our dry camping. We live full time out in this beautiful country. Currently in New Mexico going to CA to take delivery. Trading in the landyacht after 3 years fulltiming.
Here are a few pics of our new rig for your amazement;)

The wood is Honduran Mahogany.
Two full baths. (Do we really need 2? No...Do we like the idea of 2? Yes!)
Two waterheaters w/exchangers. Webasto heat. 12.5k genset. 3 14000 btu cruise airs.
This will be our new home and we love it!
We both have lived on sailboats and we like the yacht motif.
I know it is an 8v92 and not an s60 but we are going to watch the temps and take it easy. Just couldn't find an interior we liked as much in a newer coach
