Finally got ours
The wife and I brought our new to us coach home on Sunday. We came that close to buying a new Dutchstar. Not sure when the moment of clarity was that we should consider a Prevost, but it was the proper choice. This is our first motorhome of any kind and now that we will have the time to use it we wanted to move on with the next phase of our lives. Lots of research went into the selection of the converter and who to buy from. I would like to thank Dick from Wisconsin, Jerry from Bryon GA., Jeff at ETLC, of coarse Jon (had the TSD card before picking up coach) for the information and guidance. Those that have posted on the PC forum have also provided useful information, thank you. We purchased the coach from The Motorhome Exchange ,working with Dave Wall was extremely helpful and two days with Vince on the training was valued.
If I set up my profile correctly other information will be revealed.
Will need help on getting the avatar to populate.

Dale, you are going to feel like you are drinking from a fire hose. If you plan on doing your own maintenance it will seem like drinking from 2 hoses.
But you have a Prevost chassis that if properly maintained will outlast just about anything else on the road. The house is well done with robust systems and will make the use of your coach very enjoyable. The key to getting the most out of your new ride is to ask questions. This forum has untold hours of experience to share and a willingness to help. Take advantage of that resource.
If I were to suggest your new ownership starting point it would be two things. Before you load the coach open up every panel and make note of what you see. You will find valves, some electrical components and learn how to access things that might need future service or repairs. Then as you use the coach start making note of all of your gauge readings so you begin to understand “normal”.
Then as you continue to use the coach if you see readings change you will be alert to signs you might have a problem.
Remember, ask questions here, and sometimes you are even going to get a correct answer.

Jon,
Thanks for the suggestions. Fire hose analogy, good one.
How about “It’s like being 16 and getting your first car,first truck and a house all on the same day.

Handling those three things at once would be a little easier.
The problem we all have when we get our first Prevost is we don’t know what we don’t know.

I was thinking this past week or so that you’d be bringing your coach home from Florida pretty soon. Let me know when you get stumped, I’ll drive over and see if I can help. Very glad to help out.

Thanks Dick ,I might take you up on it. If you get to Madison give me a call I will give you a tour.
Dave Wall limited me to only three calls a day to him.
