My new bride and I just purchased our first Prevost conversion (pre-owned). We will take delivery on January 7, 2009 in London, KY and immediately drive our new baby home to Woodstock (Atlanta), GA.
My wife, Vita, actually found the POG site the other night and I immediately joined to get as much information as I could about what will certainly become a new lifestyle for us.
I literally grew up in the music business, travelling on entertainer coaches from the time I was a young teen and fell in love with intercity buses, especially conversions, at a young age. I am a previous Eagle conversion owner (Barbara Mandrell's retired tour bus), but this is my first Prevost!
For the record, we've purchased a 1996 XL-45 Vantare Featherlite conversion with a turbo-charged Series 60 DDEC III coupled to a 6 speed Allison automatic and a 2 stage Jake brake. The coach has 97,900 total miles.
She has 3 CruiseAir units, AquaHot heating system & electric heat, 15kw diesel generator in a hush box on air bags with auto-start, in-motion satellite, and pretty much every luxury amenity I could ever admit to thinking of! And she's beautiful - inside and out. Yes - I'm in love! :-)
If I knew how to post a picture, I would! I have several pictures on Flickr, but can't seem to make one show up here (when I preview the post - nothing).
I look forward to exploring the POG site and participating as appropriate. Hopefully, opportunities will arise to meet many of the POG members at rallies in the future.
To all the Prevost veterans - thank you for your patience and generosity in welcomong and dealing with us "newbies" and our incessant questions and annoying displays of excitement over our newfound Prevost Proud "sub-culture."
Happy New Year to all!
Best Regards,
Michael & Dr. Vita Terry
