POG Secret Handshake Revealed?

Congradulations on the new ride Loc. Prevost Fever strikes another POG member. There must be a virus in Texas.

It is true, we upgraded the XL with a really nice 2002 Millennium XLII. This bus is well set up for us (originally had two bunks - which we will put back in). Thanks to Jeff Raymond for taking time out of his schedule to drive down to New Hampshire and meet me to look at the potential purchase. It was nice to have some third party perspective to validate the purchase. It was even nicer of him to come back to New Hampshire when I left my suitcase in his car which he discoverd on the ride home. I also need to thank Bob for spending time with me to talk about Millennium on several phone calls. It was also fun to hear from several POG members on the drive home (Tom, Roger, JDUB, and Debi). Courtenay would also call me to read me the posts in this thread.

I left Manchester, NH on Friday around 11 am and made it to Roanoke, VA late Friday night. It alternated rain and snow through most of New York and Pennsylvania and then just rained all the way to Roanoke. Saturday, I stopped in Knoxville to have breakfast with Jon and Diane (thanks for the eggstra nice pictures). I made it to Orange, TX for a total of 1045 miles. I figured out how to reset the fuel consumption computer when I filled up early Saturday in VA. For the remainder of the trip, I got 8.2 miles per gallon (generally with the cruise control set of 65). My fill up this morning in Orange confirmed the 8 mpg number the old fashion way (miles driven / fuel used). I pulled into the storage yard at 8 am this morning.

We are moving everything from the Angola into the new bus this afternoon. Boy how we accumulate a copious amount of worthless and useless junk. I am taking the bus to Prevost in Dallas tomorrow night to have them give it a good once over.

I thought the learning curve would be less than with the first bus. As usual, boy was I wrong. I found out some interesting things about the inverter and generator at midnight last night. I am afraid that there is much more to experience / learn before I can review and understand most of the manuals.

I will try to post some pictures when I get a chance to take some.

I have a couple of people supposedly coming this week to look at the Angola - I hope to be a very short term member of the TBOC. If you know of anyone that is looking, let me know.

Hey Loc, glad to see you made it back home safely in the beautiful new coach of yours. I would like to hear from Courteney-- does the new rig measure up to your expectations? I think it already has Winston's approval

Settle in and send pics when you can. Good luck with the sale of the Angola!

Glad your home safe & sound Loc, now Courteney can put the finishing touches on things.

Congratulations, it's beautiful.

You will see pictures taken by some clown of Loc actually doing an inspection of his coach despite the massive MPD present at the scene. Go to the bottom of the article and there's a slide show at the bottom.

Some people actually do look at the coach before they drive it away.

Imagine that.

Jeff, where are the photos? I went to articles and couldn't find them.

If you click on the link in the post, there is one at the top of the article and then a slide show at the end of the l-o-n-g article. Geez, that guy goes on and on, huh?
