Hi Folks, we are new to the site. We are in process of checking out to buy a used 1991 Prevost XL 40' converted by Marathon. It is 1990 bus and a 1991 conversion. We definitely want a XL and we don't want anything longer than 40' because we are in Commiefornia and we definitely did not want anything with slide outs which this coach does not have so this coach looks to be what we want so far. Are there any major gotcha spots that we need to be aware of that need extra scrutiny? So far it looks pretty good for a used 1991 coach. Marathon in Oregon is doing a pre-delivery inspection (PDI) now but they are also the ones selling it so that is why we want to know of any danger spots to check out. It has 144,000 miles on it, there are no service records with it. It has cruise air and over the road air and Webasto. It has a DD 8V92 engine. First they said it was 5 speed, now they say it is a 4 speed, we have not driven it yet so we don't know.
We currently have a 2001 38' Travel Supreme with 2 slides that we will be selling. After reading all your posts comparing plastic motor homes to Prevosts has convinced us that we will be a lot happier with a Prevost which we are currently not with the Travel Supreme.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thank you for all your help, this site has been very helpful to us already.
