  Greetings

  Posted by Thomson on December 6, 2015 at 5:52 pm

  Greetings PC! I am another newbie who has been lurking for a
  few months. After spending lots of time in lots of forums on a broad range of
  topics, I have to say that PC is among the best I have seen in terms of
  civility and willingness to educate. I hope I don’t test you in either
  category.

  I am solo, nearing retirement, and planning to full-time in
  an RV for a while. After lots of research, I was leaning toward a truck/trailer
  option of some sort. A few months ago a friend insisted that a Prevost was the
  best way for me to go. Since then, he checks in with me about once a month to
  see how my research is coming, and to offer additional guidance. I am now
  convinced that my friend has saved me from an expensive and frustrating
  mistake.

  At this point I am not sure if I will be looking to buy in
  2016 or 17. The problem is that freeing up the money I plan to spend could end
  up costing me as much as a second Prevost. What I really need now more than
  anything is a good tax advisor, but that is a question for a different forum.

  I have been reading everything I can find on Prevosts and
  the converters, and I spent a Saturday afternoon with a great guy who patiently
  walked me through every inch of his coach – telling stories of life with a
  Prevost and encounters with many of the personalities involved in conversion
  over the past two decades. At this point, I think the best fit for me would be
  a 1997-2001 XL series with no slides. Nothing earlier, because I want IFS, and
  nothing later because I want enough cash left over to buy food. I guess that
  one thing that I think I want is likely to generate some responses. I think I
  want a 40-footer. Main reasons are because I am solo and even 40 feet looks
  like a lot to me, and because I keep seeing parks in places I want to stay that
  have a 40-foot limit.

  I plan to go to the Tampa RV show in January, the Prevost
  show in March, and, most likely my best education opportunity, the Know Your
  Prevost Seminar in March.

  Looking forward to meeting and getting to know some of you
  in the near future. I would be happy to hear your thoughts any time.
