I am not at all concerned about “driving” a 45′ coach. There are places we like to visit that makes driving a 45′ coach out of the question or “iffy” and I would hate that. We also live where we work so being able to fit a 45′ coach in the space available might cause issues as well. We expect our best chances of finding a coach that meets the wife’s needs is going to have us buying a 45′ but our 40 works great for us!
We were planning to go to Panterra to look at that coach but it is now showing as sold. The 98 40′ is just too dark for our tastes (and other issues) but we are stalking every coach we can find.

Those of us that have been through the Rivet Process at Prevost with an XLII can appreciate the quality work and man hours to properly repair delam. We hear it all the time from new Prevost buyers that have heard the bullshit sales pitches about delam being no big deal, it is a big deal and very expensive.
Bernie pointed out the YouTube glue fix, just recently saw a Fakebook video, won’t mention the site, where the guy drilled holes in the bottom of his Prevost main slide and watched water pour out in streams, the general comment being it should have drain holes. Ya think maybe a delam issue.
If you’re looking at an XLII, get it inspected by Prevost, that’s the only way to do it right.

Bill, contact Jan Roskelley, her husband passed this summer. She is selling their 2000 Vantare XL. It’s worth a look, nice bus, going to need tires and batteries but solid otherwise. It’s in NW Oregon and price is right for a 2000. 206 817 2344 is her #.

The Roskelly coach is a really nice one and well cared for.

Glen,
Perhaps the attorneys on this site can address your question about a lawsuit, but my gut tells me that the fastest way to get Prevost to stop standing behind the repairs at their expense would be to sue them. At the time there were a few owners talking about that but nothing came of it because Prevost was fixing the coaches at their expense.
If there are coaches with skin issues now and with the widespread knowledge of the problem, combined with the fact we have made many posts that urge people who are contemplating a coach purchase to get an inspection done this becomes a situation for the buyer and seller to resolve. If a coach was not modified to eliminate the delamination problem by now I don’t see how Prevost should be expected to make repairs at its expense. The affected coaches are now likely to be between 10 and 20 years old.
-
Maybe things have changed, but to get Prevost to cover the delam repairs you had to be the original owner and the coach couldn’t be over 10 years old. Even then, the paint work was not covered and was owners responsibility.
-
I do know there were many owners who were not the original owner whose coach was repaired at Prevost’s expense. Prevost looked at each situation individually and the coaches they refused to cover appeared to be repo’s, coaches with no demonstrated service history, or coaches that had been involved in accidents and not repaired to Prevost standards.
They wanted to limit repairs to original owners, but that did not seem to be what actually happened.
-
Is the coach pictured the Roskelly coach? Want to make sure before I give a call.
