Well fellow Prevost owners, I finally took the plunge today and purchased a 2002 Prevost XL2-40 converted by Marathon. I have much to learn and much to do to this bus to make it perfect so I'll have many questions. My first questions are about Batteries, tires and getting work done.
Q1 - I'm in need of 6 new AGM house batteries. I understand POGs like me can get a discount. How do I go about doing that?
Q2 - the tires on this unit are the originals I'm told and have 56K miles on them. How do I read the date codes. This bus spend much of it's time in a clomate control garage so the tires look completely brand new with no scuffing or cracking so I'm looking to figure out their true age.
Q3 - I'm about to take the coach to Marathon factory facility in Beaumont California for a complete going over stem to stern. Anyone have experience with them?
Q4 - after that I'll be looking for a Prevost shop to go through the Chassis to inspect everything. What is the best Prevost shop in the SW?
Q5 - I'm still working on how to lessen or elliminate my sale tax. I'm a South Dakota resident since we fulltime, any suggestions?
BTW, I have a beautiful 2008 HR Navigator 45 foot Quadslide coach for sale. Well that's what's on my plate for now, any reccommendations or suggestions would be welcome & appreciated.
