    With luck, we will run into each other in West Palm.

    What a lead, Having a company around that is still very familiar with the converter is a big plus. Hope to see you in West Palm. Thanks Fratto

    Lots of great ideas on this thread.

    I encourage you to keep your criteria flexible. Each coach is unique particularly as you get into the older units.

    Take a look at our coach. It seems to fit many of your criteria.

    Good point George,
    I added a new section called "Care". Check it out.

    Joe:

    You have seemed to wonder down the same path I always end up going down. Buy something, spend endless hours and $ to get everything perfect, then sell it.

    P.S. Wish I was in the market for a newer bus, would buy it in a heartbeat.

    Joe, at this point we are still trying to come up with a list of must haves and want to haves. We are headed up to Trawick and Liberty next week to get some previews of the various layouts. For sure high on the list is a bus that has been "zeroed out", At this point I want to use it rather than work on it.

    Don't want to ruin your fantasy but there's no such thing as a Prevost that doesn't need work. Even the new ones have a punchlist longer than my arm. But there is a big difference between what NEEDS to be done and things that you WANT to do. Good luck.

    I don’t have any advice on Prevost besides the fact I just bought one this past weekend. All of my research lead me to a Prevost that my wife and I will convert ourselves. After the bus project, a trawler is the next project on my radar. We are 30 miles from the Gulf and I would love to have a trawler in a wet slip full time.

    My featherlite 2002, is an S1, single slide, I don't think it has air bladers and it uses HWH control w/ the key. What brand is it, seems fairly simple, locks at the top after the slide operation.
