It will be a big help, when asking, to attach a signature line that gives some coach specific information since each converter and different shell types and model years may have differences that will affect the responses.

What you as an owner will soon learn is that you will have Prevost chassis questions, and Marathon, or house specific questions. You will also learn a guy with knowledge of Liberty conversions is not likely to know diddly about your Marathon, and you should assume he is full of manure. We tend to be a little more knowledgeable about the Prevost chassis, but that will not stop us from giving lousy advice from time to time.

Do you feel good about spending $100 yet?
I canceled my $100 credit card payment, figured I could ride this wave for at least a week before Skip would catch on, after all he is from Maine, and news travels there more slowly.

Before making the purchase, I contacted a sweet lady at Prevost in Quebec to get the scoop on service bulletins, recalls etc, then included these as part of my purchase. I was surprised to find items not done from some years ago. I guess I am used to aircarft service issues.

Did almost make my first mistake when I took my 20 mile test drive at the factory. I was not used to the fact that we are a little longer, and a little lower than my last coach. As I was winding up the coach to exit the factory gate, and just about to go down onto the pavement, the service rep says, "remember to take the curb at an angle or you will scrape the bottom". Well at this point I was half way into the road, thinking I was doing just fine, but also realizing this was not going to be his coach, I decided to slam on the brakes and cut hard left. The service rep was not exactly ready for my response, and wasn't wearing his set belt. I suggested that in the future he give me these types of hints before we start to rotate. I looked back after clearing the exit without a scratch and noticed at least 100 scrapes on the ground, think they could have dealt with this by now.
