2016 Millennium Build
We’ve jumped in with both feet. While on vacation to the Florida Keys, we unexpectedly ordered our new Millennium. We’ve always wanted a Prevost, just wasnt expecting things to come together this soon, but the stars must have been in alignment and we pulled the trigger. We ordered a 4 slide with rear shower. Nelson, Evelyn and their team have been great to work with during this build.
This was our first picture of the coach once it arrived in Florida.
Talk about excited!!
Next empty shell, getting ready for insulation.

Fantastic! Great looking colors to start. Can’t wait to see the interior.

Jack,
I know the exact excitement that you are experiencing. We are just a couple of steps ahead of you as we just took delivery last Monday after waiting 7 months for the finished product to be ready.
Looks like you are getting the same set-up that we have, 4 slides, with a half bath in the middle. We have the full bath in the back but some of the Liberty floorplans have the sink/shower in the back which is also nice.
Keep us updated!
I like the fact that the front white side lights (square) can also be used as corning lights. Originally, I thought they were just docking lights but we have a switch that will make them a corning light when you activate the turning signal or you can flip the swtch and use them for docking.
Again, congratulations on the new coach!

Georgous Millennium Jack, congratulations.
We watched Mark go from the idea of a new Liberty all the way to delivery and he was kind enough to keep us all informed as progress was made. For me, it was the first time anyone shared the building progress from start to finish and then to see the end result was pretty special.
I want to thank both Jack and Mark for sharing your new coach experience with us here at PC and hope to follow along with Jack’s progress as well. A new bus is a REALLy big deal…

Little further along…
Awning installation, not painted yet

Jack:
Please keep the pictures coming. We’re all going to learn something.
Does the black tank come with the concrete blocks preattached? or does the converter fit those to the tank after it arrives? I’ve always been curious now they do that.

Dick,
I think we checked the box for the concrete blocks…… No , I’ m not sure why they are there…
-
Jack,
We saw three coaches in their raw state when we were ordering ours. It is so interesting to see all the work involved with the wiring and plumbing.
The concrete blocks may put the tanks at the right height to slide the tanks in, who knows?
Anyway, you have a beautiful paint design and I can’t wait to see the finished product and your interior choices.

OK, we cant take it anymore….. We’ve booked a flight, leaving tomorrow, to Florida to see the progress for ourselves. Cant wait.
-
Jack, it will be interesting hear your take on the current status of your new bus.
I have to say, I had no interest in seeing our bus in a ‘half-built’ state. I wanted to see it all done and completed. When we saw the 3 buses in their raw built condition, it would have been hard to tell if it was ours or not.
Safe travels!

Jack,
Your visit to the coach in progress will be awesome. Unless you see a coach being built it is difficult to comprehend how much effort goes into building one. Having a mental picture of the innards of a coach will make you appreciate the knowledge and skills your converter has to possess to create your home on wheels.

I know a guy that arrived at Millennium when his shell did and camped there the entire time it took to complete the build of his coach, about 5mos. Geo.

George … that is certainly the way to do it. Was he in a tent or pop-up?
