    Jennifer,

    Another thing to look for on the engine is where it was made. We had a 1999 Country Coach Shell called a 2001 with 2 slides by HWH and when you opened the rear engine compartment doors, right on the block we had in raised letters, "Made In Mexico.
    Turned out this group of motors were built with solid pushrods, resulting in lack of lubrication. So, at 20,000 miles, we were in for a "top-end Kit with new pistions, pushrods etc on DD's nickel.

    Hey with a name such as "Des Beavers" there are 2 Prevost Beavers' out there for sale, and maybe a rd.
    That would be Bus 6 on Philcoopers site, 1990, its in Texas
    Bus 33 which is 1992 shell so it has the 500 hp 8V like ours, but it titled a 1993 in Pennsykvania
    Bus 28 may still be up for grabs as well, with 62,000 miles on it, lives in Albuquerque.
