BrianE, Thanks for the summary of what is most important. The coach we looked at today seems to have been well maintained in the past but there are no records, because the owner has done all the maintenance and has not kept any records. Everything looked clean and in good condition below except the House batteries. The bus has been in storage in his warehouse for 6+ months and the four batteries have over-flowed and rusted the holding trays. They have to be replaced. He says the bus has be plugged in the entire time and he starts the bus weekly. There were no leaks except for the house batteries. Tomorrow we see the next bus, photos look very clean.
By way of introduction, My wife and I are both writers. We wrote business columns and articles for years and are currently pursuing screenwriting. I coach executive 6 days a month by phone and that leaves us plenty of time for travel, therefore we hope to go fulltime on the road in June in a Prevost. There is much of North America we want to see. I was raised in GA and am now a Canadian resident. My wife is Canadian. Thank you and all the forum members for your replies. I wish I had found the forum a week earlier. I would have done this trip very different. Thank you.
