You can’t go there, your bus is too old.

Yes the 10 years rule…but there are lots of members on this forum that qualify for the rule…I was just looking at the proposed project / end result, should be a nice place.

[Fred F.]

The number of Prevost coaches that now meet the 10 year rule is miniscule compared to the total on the road.

When the economy went in the dumper in 2008 the converters stopped production. Not slowed down, they stopped. Since production started inching back up it is a small percentage of units per year compared to production levels prior to 2008.

The irony and balls of that RV Park company is they have demonstrated in the past if you don’t have a newer than 10 year coach they will not even discuss a lot purchase with you, but once a lot owner if your coach is so old it has gray hair they do not seem to enforce their own rules.

They will be handing out snowmobile suits in Hell before I even visit those RV parks.

If i am not mistaken Hearthside in petoskey was built in the early 90s with many of updates since then. It would be a hoot if a new coach owner would go in there to talk about buying a lot. Then before closing the deal ask them how long the resort has been there. When they answer tell them everything looks well maintained and updated nicely but you have a strict 10 year rule on resorts. I would pay money to see that on a youtube video. I think we even have a professional video producer here on PC

There may be a conflict of interest on the suggested videographer.

Dorel, I have seen your coach and I recognize it as the 2012 that it is, so should fit the 10 year rule. Mine is a 2011 and I expect to trade it up in a few years to at least a 2016.

Jeff, I like it.

Triple FFF…you are spot on…see you there August 1st for Grand Opening…life is good…

The past two Summers I spent three weeks at Hearthside Grove. During my first visit, I hosted an on camera interview with the owner and inquired about the ten year rule. He clarified that the rule is not set in stone and its based on the condition of the coach and the “pride of ownership.” His reasoning is simple in that it’s an ownership resort and it’s a way of protecting a lot owner from having a renter come in with an ill kept coach that could be considered to be an eyesore. It’s not too different from the rules commonly found in HOA communities around the USA.

During the past two visits, I saw plenty of coaches from various manufacturers well past ten years of age. Here’s an example of one that I found quite attractive:

I agree with Jon.

Now that Country Coach sold to Winnebago and occupies the building where hundreds and hundreds of Prevost buses were converted, the building I saw my bus meticulously built in, the building where I was given a personal tour by Bob Lee’s son-in-law and where I inspected my bus while it was being built … are we waiting for the Winnebago – Prevost Conversion so we can meet the 10 year rule?

Andy, that coach is CC#60401, a 1999

My point exactly.

[Jerry]

We stayed at Hearthside last Sept.. I e-mailed them a couple of pictures of the coach. No problem. That CC above belongs to a couple full timers who work in the park.

We are a 2004 Detroit Diesel, 2005 Prevost shell, 2006 Country Coach conversion, with a 2018 ETLC update.

I just tell them I’m a 2018. Certainly we look plausible.

I sometimes tell businesses “Don’t make it hard for me to give you money.”
