Newmar owner, Prevost admirer

The (no pin slides) newest slides became available with the 2007 shells which means that they would be a 2008 conversion,they actually have only one pin which is under the slide.I have 2 in my 08 Liberty and they have been trouble free for almost 6 years.I had a in motion light that would stay on after I put a slide in,it would only happen if it had recently rained,Prevost Jax looked at it and found sawdust in the control area that was holding moisture and they vaccumed it up and there have not been any issues since.I am of the opinion that Prevost has engineered the slides with the chassis and that they really know what they are doing,I would not purchase a coach with aftermarket slides,I do know that the Featherlite slides have a good reputation but I think that Prevost will always be here to service their own products.

gavanj, Encouraged by your comment. We are really looking forward to the Prevost Community rally in Branson next week as we only live 45 min from there and will have the chance to look at several buses. So tell me a little about your bus. Do you have any slides? You mentioned all the country music shows. Are you just traveling and going to a lot of concerts or are you connected with the country music community. My son is a drummer in a local pop/rock band and I keep telling him that as he gets better and better he will one day work his way up to country music. :-). We should close on our current coach by the end of the month so I'm getting excited about the prospect of shopping for a bus.

Dean, Sorry for the late reply. First, Merry Christmas. We have a two slide XLII, converted by Royale. It has a stunning paint job, subtle but very rich. I have not seen anything like it. We are not involved in country music, but my wife and I are extreme music fans. 145+ Jimmy Buffett Concerts under our belt and at least 50 Eagles shows. We just saw The Eagles in Orlando, and are attending 4 of their 6 concerts at the new LA Forum in January, then we will see them in Vegas and New Orleans. We take the Prevost and use it for tailgating and sleeping in it after the shows at the venues. Concert venues have been very welcoming. In the Country Coach, they would knock and ask us to leave In the Prevost, they steer clear. We have had police escorts in the thing, and all sorts of perks, including parking with the bands on occasion. Good luck with your son's career in music, and yes, country is the new Rock & Roll. Have fun with your Prevost hunt, I hope it pays off well.

Gavanj,
Wow, thats quite a concert resume. I haven't been to a concert in years but will be at George Straits final concert on June 7th at AT&T stadium. We were able to purchase our first prevost a few weeks ago and will be taking it to the show. I've seen George a few times, a couple times when his career was just getting started and once several years ago. I'm really looking forward to the show in Dallas.
