    Well we finally purchased our 1st Prevost after starting our search in late March. We are now proud owners of a Marathon Coach #1059. Now the fun begins with getting familiar with how this bus operates compared to my plastic coach.

    Pat & Connie,

    Congratulations on your new home on wheels! You must be very excited. We are still going through the learning curve (steep) with Marathon 1133 that we purchased in May. It sure is different than my Dutch Star in all aspects. I would urge you to study the books that came with it and spend lots of time just running the systems and poking around as much as you can. In the end I know it will be well worth the time you spend. Also, when you have a question,Leon in Oregon is the go to guy and the advice on this forum is invaluable as well.

    Best wishes for a great ownership experience!!!

    – Ron

    Congrads on your purchase. I know #1059 and the former owner, even rode on it several times.

    He took very good care of it…you have purchased a well maintained Marathon XLII.
