    Diane,

    Glad to see you on POG. It is a great organization, and you will learn a great deal about your new Prevost. Congratulations and Karen and I are looking forward to seeing you and Larry in Kerrville.

    Ditto Loc's Post. In most cases that I have had work done at Birdland, if Michael does the work it is very good....though it seldom happens. My experience has been whatever the estimate happens to be.....you can almost double the price. Example, a $650.00 estimate on rebuilding my Aqua Hot turned out to be $1,300.00 when asked why? answer oh!,that was for parts...not labor. And that is not the only example. I think the main reason there are a lot of Prevost outside is the FT. Worth Prevost branch is 275 miles away, at least in my case.

    Also, welcome to the Prevost crowd, look forward to meeting you.

    Congrats on your new purchase and it is nice to have a new member of the Tex-Pog contention.

    Don't know anything about Birdland, but, Loc monster set me up for some work with one of his buddies at Stewart and Stevenson in E. Houston. They cured a problem for me that Prevost had been unable to figure out hands on, and for which Marathon had no good answers by phone. I definitely recommend those guys for chassis work based on my experience. They even gave me the normal truck rate rather than the higher motorhome rate.

    Diane and Larry,

    Welcome to POG. You will have fun with this group. The group will have fun with you too. This has been the most fun group of people I have ever been blessed to be part of. Enjoy!

    Dianne, I second the caution on Birdland. I returned from a function just today where a fellow member had some $7000 in work done and the coach was basically untouched.
    Beware. Loc and I have experience in the Houston / Dallas market. It will not be Birdland from my view.

    Jon,
    Thankyou so much for that "valuable" info. Being new to Prevost is an experience in itself. Luckily we only had our batteries checked there and as we suspected they need to be replaced soon. We were on our way out of town for a week and are still not back home yet. We have friends in Dallas who own a commercial battery company and they say we should use Deka AGM batteries which they can get for us... any insight on that ? we don't want to make a mistake !!
    Again thanks for your input we really do appreciate it.
    Diane

    Thankyou so much Loc, you have the coach I dreamed about owning a few years back, (too rich for our blood at that time) we looked at it at Buddy Greggs in Dallas, at that time it belonged to a guy in Sugarland, we LOVE your coach, would still love to own it !!
    Thanks for the Birdland insight. I will have Larry give you a call. We will be at the rally in October and look forward to meeting you.
    Again thanks..Diane
