    Default Hello from Iowa

    Purchased my first prevost last fall after a year long search. Found mine in south Carolina. It's a 2 owner coach in good shape for an 88 but like all 30 year olds I have started and will continue with updates over the next few years. I'm looking forward to being part of the prevost community. Greetings and a happy and prosperous New Year to all. Doug and Nancy2018081795200045.jpg2018081795200024.jpg

    That's a good lookin 88 and it's a Marathon. I would not be going to far out on a limb to tell someone looking at a 30yr old 2 owner bus it's probably well cared for if someone came across one and inquired.

    Thanks gil and Joe. It's had good care as the previous owner gave me a diary of every trip and expense he made since he purchased in 2001. It's made for some good reading as well as being able to know the history and what has already been done mechanically. The engine has a 17000 mile complete out of frame ohaul with suspension and air bag replacement as well.Having said that per our conversation last week it is time for some updates. Completely gutted and replaced plumbing this fall and next year planning on tackling air leaks and related problems with your help so keep me on your list for summer of 19.

    Beautiful. I’m from Iowa too. Ames. Just picked up a 99 Country Coach. Going through it big time as the previous owner just used it. Winter in Mesa AZ do get to use it all year around. Have fun. See you on I35 / I80 maybe. Cam Lewis

    Nice looking bus Doug! I'm extremely new here too and have learned a lot here in a very short time. You are lucky you got a history. Mine appears to be in good shape overall - but I have NO IDEA when/if anything on chassis has been replaced - no history whatsoever. I'm on Joe's list - looking forward to that.

    If you notify Prevost that you are the new owner of your coach, (give them your vin#) they can supply you with a record of any work they have performed on it.
