Hi Group, Got our 1st Prevost in Sept ... Love the ride and look forward to getting involved with POG. We bought the rig from Bill Robinson at Robinson Motors, Conover, NC. 2000 H3-45 Vantare 56,000 mile cream puff. Did the maintenance drill: Detroit/Allison - Middletown, CT, Prevost - Plainfield, NJ, Vantare - Sanford, FL and Suncoast Windows - Hudson, FL. Everything is 95% ship shape with the only struggle being a chronic aux air leak. Seems like once you fix a leak, a new weak link leak pops up.
Friend owns a tour bus company in CT with 50+ buses (14 Prevosts): His take is that Prevosts leak and it goes with the territory and will alway be a work in progress. He sees Prevost quick connect fittings a problem with age. Easy for manufacturing but lose airtight contact over time. (he just pulls line out, cuts a fresh edge and sticks it back into fitting; claims it works).
Yes, learning a lot ... specially with the electrical systems ... previous experience with my Country Coach Inspire is not much help with the bus. But getting up to speed technically has been fun and rewarding. Best of all, as a an old CDL driver, I really appreciate the ride. No more white knuckles
Still work for a living but plan on getting out as much as possible. We did our first Nascar trip to Homestead and liked it. Was told Martinsville is the best track for RV parking ... Anyone going this year?? Give a shout if you're traveling through CT .... Best wishes for the new year.
