    Default New to the forum

    Just joined so I can school myself before stepping up into a Prevost.

    We currently pull a 40' 5er and I have driven 18-wheelers, so the size of the rig is not an issue.

    My wife has back issues and pulling the 5er with my F350, she will get in the back seat with a heating pad. I'm thinking the Prevost would allow her a better-quality of relief on the couch or bed while riding down the road. Any thoughts?

    Another issue I am looking at is the parking at our home base. I can get In/out of my driveway and to my RV cover with no issues in the truck and 5er but not sure of the turning radius of the Prevost. The ground clearance is a concern because I will probably have to go over the curb to make the turn into/out of the driveway.

    Anyway, I have started the journey of schooling myself to make the step up and look forward to reading many articles and replies on this forum.

    There's a lot to absorb between the Prevost models and the different converters. The first thing to do is to know your budget and then search Prevost-Stuff.com. Focus on the floor plan and most of the aesthetics. Except for soft-goods, other changes can be very costly.

    Prevost is an open book when it comes to information. You can download the owner/operator manual and get specifics. The coach can be manually raised front and rear independently to go over some obstructions. It will raise the coach about 3" above ride height. Here's were all of the publications can be found, https://techpub.prevostcar.com/en/

    Ask away as questions come up.
