1996 Prevost XL 40 Le Mirage RV Conversion

[craiglenz]

The vin # is 2PCL33406T1025672
That indicates it is from the factory a Le Mirage 54 seater bus
I guess you have all the info to what is possible or not
As I said the guy did not cut corners

Pretty sure that vin number should read 2PCL33496T not 06T mine is 2PCM33496T1025688 which is only 16 coaches after yours if it is a 96. The PCL vs PCM would tell me it wasnt build as a Motorome Shell. Both speedo and hobbs meters have been changed and Id stick to that story if your trying to sell it. Interior was in deed done by very skilled craftsman. Invertor and batteries appear to be a little on the lite side but with most appliances on LPG it likely does fine.

Good luck on your venture. Get Joe to go through it and you will know what you have and what you need. Hope the Vin info is helpful.

Lots of good stuff. Just know I only recommend you invest in changes if you see value in them. Don't expect them to pay for themselves at time if sale. If your Espar is propane, that would be strange. Most are diesel in a coach.

It should for a guy with the right knowledge a dream project
all the expensive stuff is done
someone should give the coach the final touch and enjoy the ride

How life is taking over
My plan was to take the bus together with a friend to Dawson City in the Yukon in the beginning of September
Now my father had a fall in Germany and is in the hospital
He is turning 90 in September
My Step mother has now quite severe dementia and it is over for the guys to live alone in there condo in Germany
I have to fly over and do all the arrangements to find an assisted care facility, selling there real estate etc…
Adios nice trip to Dawson
I will run out of time
here we go …
it’s just a different movie to take care of a 40 feet 17 ton Motorhome
All the years with the classic cars no problem
Into the garage lock the door and end of story
A coach like that it’s more a complete lifestyle change
I love the bus but I am not the guy who leave something like that outside in the open in the winter time etc
I just have from my circumstances not the time to take proper care of it
I looked years ago at a property here in Victoria on a lake with a very huge garage and I thought what can I do with it ?
Honestly with a time machine I would go back and buy the place now
I would love to bring the Prevost to a home like that and drive him into the garage

My vin # is correct
Thanks for the info
Most likely I will sell the coach

[Fratto]

So sorry to hear that Detlef. You and your family are in our prayers

[Detles]

Thank you
My parents had a really good life and are now almost 90 and 85
I am 63 and it shows me better to do all the stuff I still want to do in life better now..
That s one of the reason I still hesitate in the moment to put the coach on the market
The interior is done in timeless beauty and will be classy forever
In a lot of aspects it fits me like a glove
I just have too much on the go...
I have a very good reputation in Germany for classic cars and the customer like my quality
If I can make someone happy with that coach I am happy too
The craftmanship of the woodwork done its outstanding
As I said I can sit inside and admire the work done for hours
Just beautiful...
Cheers Detlef
