No Longer a Lurker
I have throroughly enjoyed my forum readings and the articles have great value as well. Thank you.
A brief introduction is due. I continue to work as a veterinarian and my wife is a retired Montessori school teacher. Nico (Belgian Malinois) is my mate, goes most everywhere with me.. Planes, Trains and Buses. Last summer was our first trip out on the road and it was largely an uneventful(mechanically speaking) maiden voyage. We did a western loop and enjoyed the last 2 daughter’s weddings along the way. This year we have traversed the east coast and find ourselves on the Maine coast near Rockport. My roadwork as a veterinary consultant keeps me busy. That’s enough for now. Your community seems to be filled with some great folks and I hope we get a chance to meet sometime soon. In the meantime, should you have a pet question while traveling, PLEASE reach out and I may be able to provide some useful counsel.
I am on a mission to actually find, trade in (2005 Mountainaire) and purchase a Prevost. I have a trip planned to Phoenix to view a coach at Premium Motorcoach and intend to stop in Nashville at Olympia Coach to view some prospects. My question to all is whether anyone has had any direct experience with Olympia. They profess to zero out their coaches prior to sale. I was wondering if I find something of interest… is trip to Jeff at ETLC needed.
As for Steve Bennett, his references are solid and he has brought the coach to a local shop for a chassis inspection. Not sure that I have much choice in the Arizona region for another examination of the coach.
All replies are most welcome.
My best,
Bob Spiegel

Bought our coach from Steve last year. I think he served us well and we have been very happy. Good luck on your journey.

Welcome aboard Bob, you couldn’t come to a better place. You just jump right in, the waters fine. Your veterinary skills will fit right in here on the Prevost Community Forum as animals abound. Some even have four legs!It’s good to have you and Pat with us we’re happy to have you part of the family…

Bob, I am sure that most dealers are trying their best. I would ask for their definition and list of items that they perform for Zeroing Out a Coach and then call Jeff and get his list..best of luck

get an independent inspection. – many on this site are not so far from Nashville. – perhaps you could lure them with some oprey tickets 😉
sent you a email as well.

Steve Bennett is one of the good guys…bought our Marathon from him 2.5 yrs ago!
Ask to see his 1992 Marathon….unbelievable!! -
A good friend of mine had purchased from Steve 10 years ago and only sings his praises. I still sent the coach for a chassis inspection. Another friend(prevost owner) examined exterior and interior without anything but praise. I hope to get out there as soon as financing is secure.
If Jon or Tom is listening, you are welcome to open a channel for pets and I will try to monitor as best I can.
My best,
Bob
