Welcome Allan! As a recent Prevost newbie myself, I can relate to your situation. My wife and I just took delivery of our first Prevost on January 6, 2009. I've been a bus nut for 30 years and have owned Eagles and MCIs in the past, but finally had the opportunity to graduate to the ultimate class of motorcoach with our pre-owned 1996 XL-45 Featherlite Vantare. Even after several months of ownership, we are still very much in the learning mode with our bus, but we love her more than you can imagine!

Jump in here on POG with both feet and don"t worry about whether your questions are naivé, or are repeats because someone in the group will either offer an answer (some are even correct) or point you to where you can find it. All that is required to get along here is a good sense of humor and a thick skin. You may have noticed that some POG members tease each other unmercifully. It's all in fun and I don't think you will find a mean spirited person in the bunch! We just don't take ourselves or each other too seriously - unless the situation warrants it - and then you will not find a more motivated bunch of people anxious to offer whatever assistance and/or support is required to help our fellow POGer! Everyone is equal here - some are just more equal than others!

Bottom line - enjoy yourself, take advantage of the incredible braintrust of experienced Prevost owners here and work with the boss (your wife) to start nailing down your "must have lists" for choosing the ONE. Before you know it, you'll be telling us about your new bus and where you plan to take it!
