Tom & Lew,

I love XL's! Yes I do have MPD, but I also have MND (Mad Newell Disease). My quandry is I love the exterior of the Prevost, but the interior of the Newell is better for tailgating because of the slides. This is my 3rd Newell and I just like them. Karen and I have gotten accustomed to the slides, and I don't see us ever going back. The price is also an issue.

The 1998 Vogue that we looked at belonged to Charles Blankenship of Naples, FL. It is listed on RVOnline.com. It is in great condition with 119,000 miles. Charles invited us to park in his driveway for the night, and we were able to visit with him at length. His FMCA number is 37004, so he has been RVing for a while.

In 1984 he built a new Liberty and kept it 20 years! He sold it in 2004 and experienced 3.5% depreciation per year! Like us cajuns say, may dat ain't bad, cher. He bought the Vogue after the Liberty, and he said that he liked it better. Of course, you must remember that he is SELLING the Vogue.
He said that Libertys are overpriced (his opinion, not mine).

From my limited experience with Prevosts, I think that it would be a good buy at the right price. Everything on the coach worked except the Splendie washer/dryer, and he will have that fixed.

We just arrived in Marathon for 2 days, and then on to Key West for 2 more days. We will be staying at Bluewater RV Resort in Key West, so pictures will follow if I can figure out how to attach them.
