New to us 1985 Prevost XL

[sandz]

Wow, Thanks for the welcome!

The coach is a 1985 Royal Motor Coach Conversion with a unique yacht like interior. 117000 miles, 17k on the engine since overhaul.
Needs tires (look new Michelins aged out) but otherwise in running condition. One of the 3 cruise air is inop but I am hvac savvy and certified. (Not Certifiable yet I hope). Thanks for the info on the cooling system, might upgrade radiator if it needs it but will definitely keep it clean. We will be in this coach for the long haul.
Planning on installing solar and lithium system too for our dry camping. We live full time out in this beautiful country. Currently in New Mexico going to CA to take delivery. Trading in the landyacht after 3 years fulltiming.

The wood is Honduran Mahogany.
Two full baths. (Do we really need 2? No...Do we like the idea of 2? Yes!)

Two waterheaters w/exchangers. Webasto heat. 12.5k genset. 3 14000 btu cruise airs.
This will be our new home and we love it!
We both have lived on sailboats and we like the yacht motif.

I know it is an 8v92 and not an s60 but we are going to watch the temps and take it easy. Just couldn't find an interior we liked as much in a newer coach

Beautiful Coach!!

Beautiful coach inside and out. Royal is noted for nice interiors and uncomplicated systems, so you should have a winning combination.

Very nice. It's got the old school tail lights, leave them it dates it wonderfully. IMHO LED would not enhance it. Those r 24v tail light bulbs do not make the mistake of trying 12v bulbs. 1157 bulbs have the same socket and sometimes r strong enough to carry the curent without burning out and then get so hot it melts the lenses I've seen that more than once. I also like the old school docking lights IE marine bow lights.

How is the Level low configured, is it 3 separate buttons?

It's titled an 85 but the chassis is what, 84 possibly?

Mine was an 84.

Did u get any service history? Unless very recently the shocks have been replaced do it. And put Koni up front if not all the way around. Don't wait.

That's a non computer engine with a mechanical throttle. U r going to have to help the cruise control in the hills with your right foot but it was ok ith me I'd rather be driving it anyway.
