Slides
I am on my 2nd Prevost. The first was a non slide coach, the 2nd is a two slide coach. They are/were both Prevost. We have enjoyed both tremendously.
I have put 30,000 miles on the slide coach with only one slide problem . Vacuum switch failure, which once bypassed worked as planned.
I could go back to a non slide coach, but the wife would resist and I don't want too. It would be like going back to a car/truck with manual windows and no heated seats. I just like the benefit of the slides - MORE ROOM.
Yep, there is price to be paid for more square footage, up front $$ and the future maintenance$$. The Prevost slides are designed with a rubber innertube type inflatable bladder that has a limited life expectancy - just like tires - after a while something like a leak is gonna happen. The cost of replacement of the seals has already been posted in this thread and has been said about Prevosts - they are not for the faint of heart.
So if you want the slides, get 'em, --if you can live without them - then you can spend more money for diesel fuel & Stuff.
As for me - I love my slides.- Its that OTRa/c thing that gets me.
Roger that!
