    Bob - I'll post as soon as I get a reply! Of course, you will want to do your own pre-delivery inspection (PDI) to verify everything that has been represented. Once you "pull the trigger", you'll love owning and driving a Prevost! I have yet to meet a single person who regretted their decision to join the "bus culture"!

    Good luck!

    Bob, we had never even stepped inside a camping trailer or an RV when we bought our first Prevost so I can only surmise what it is like towing and using an Airstream.

    From your wife's perspective here is what I imagine she will find different or the same. First, you will not be pulling something that is going to wiggle the tow vehicle all around the highway. The bus is heavy and will track straight. You will relax when you drive.

    Loading for a trip will not change, except now she can pack a wide variety of clothes for various purposes and weather. She will have more closet space. Your stuff, like tools and gadgets will be outside in the bays. She can claim all upstairs storage as her own.

    No more pulling into a rest area when nature calls. She can just get up and do whatever unless she is driving. She can also make coffee, lunch or do the laundry while underway. (or you can do all that while she drives. Karen forced me to say that) If she wants to read or watch TV she can, from the sofa or the bed. No more conserving water or energy. Unless you are dry camping for long periods she can stay warm, stay cool, use water, flush, etc. You will be doubling your size.

    When you do get in a campground you level the coach without even leaving your seat. Then you complete the set up by hooking up to water, sewer and electric. That's it. You don't have to drive up on wooden blocks. If you tow, unhitch and you are done.

    You will meet lots of new friends, most of us charming, well read, sophisticated, and entertaiining. You may even end up with your own sheep herd. There will be more to service than greasing the wheel bearings, but you have an entire support network in POG. And best of all if you like the Airstream there is nothing stopping you from towing it behind the Prevost. Forty foot bus plus 25 foot Airstream adds up to the 65 feet allowable anywhere. You can bring your mother-in-law if you wish with that set up.

    I love my M-I-L, but I like the way you think, Jon!

    That's a great idea! I never thought of pulling the Airstream behind the Prevost. I will make sure my wife reads your post. Thanks

    When I called Florida Coach they were asking $89,900.00. With no trade $79,000.00 out the door. The timing isn't right for me to travel 1,200 miles to view the bus now. Bob W. I hope it works out for you. Good luck.

    Now that says it all " Stainless towing Stainless "

    That must be the mother-in-law's suite in the back, but I don't think she can be back there while towing?
