Buying an older Prevost versus new production RV?

If you get Gil to inspect it and Joe to do under carriage repairs, you will be thousands ahead.

I came from a 2004 Bluebied Wanderlodge and I concur with the above.
I knew when I first saw the post that this was going to be interesting and I don't think that I was wrong.

One of the biggest factors for us buying a prevost was the long waits for unprofessional shotty service appointments on other brands. When you get to your appointment then are told yes we have you scheduled to wait in line for the next service bay "that will be avaiable with in the next week or so". AND when you finaly get in they diagnose your problem then order parts that are not avaiable for 4-6 weeks.

Prevost are first and foremost a commercial 54 passenger transportation vehicle, hence we benefit from the national & professionally trained service facility's and personnel. Service and parts are (for the most part) available in one day or overnight. Remember Prevost is for the most part built to serve the commercial industry hence must comply to both Canada and USA department of transportation regulations pertaining to commercial passenger vehicles.

Watch some of the online videos of Bus accidents. Most of the Prevost (usually the charter buses) are pulled back on the road after a roll over and have broken windows and dented/scratched body panels but for the most part are in tact compared to the usual class A motor home that has completely come apart and has nothing left than a shattered shell.

We went from a 2014 Allegro Bus to a 2000 H3. Yes there are maintenance issues that must be caught up and kept up, but parts and service IS available and the safety factor of a Provost is hard to beat.
