I am a Air Force Pilot F-4 Phantom always wanted to do a boat landing, Had a good Navy friend get me scheduled for a boat landing and at last minute the mission was scrubbed and never got the window for the boat landing. Still want to know if carrier landing requires kahonas of 5 lbs
Back to the question of buying your first Prevost.
I bought from the estate a one owner, 1998 in 2019. It was maintained by his truck shop, he had 600 plus trucks on the road.
Got maintenance records for about 5 years and talked to the only mechanic that had worked on the bus.
The bus sat in an airconditioned hangar all its life.
Unfortunately the lasst 2 1/2 years it wasn't driven due to his fatal cancer.
Still I took a chance and don't regret a minute of purchase..
I replaced all air bags
I replaced upper and lower A arms
replaced drive brake linings
replaced dog bones in front
Had Prevost do a 6 wheel alignment
Took it to shop that services our service vehicles and said if it is a fluid replace Trans engine power steering cooling system
replaced brake actuators
Replaced air hoses to brake system..
Changed all pushin fittings with compression fittings
This was about 20,000.00 to shops and i didn't get paid
I enjoyed maintenance free travel until 2024 when I traded for a coach with slides which I found was a neccesity for my personal use. I still won't buy anything other than a Prevost.
I am concerned about safety of my family. Research RV accidents and you will see the superior safety of a Prevost versus a sticks and staples plastic coach
