If my math is correct, this was Jamie’s fourth All Prevost Show and we’ve been to three of them. It’s good to hear that Tom got out of his subdivision and had an opportunity to see what’s happening beyond the end of his driveway.

I recall all there being 42 coaches at the first show with a large aisle down the center. This year they were packed in pretty tight and I suspect the room has reached its limit. I heard 52, Tom said 53. I’ll go with Tom’s 53.

I’m disappointed there weren’t any coaches from the 90s. Any Prevost neophytes attending the show might come away thinking there is no market being made in rivet coaches, which is far from the truth.

I neglected to to take a picture of the Liberty Kenworth tractor and service trailer. They were first class and well detailed. Maybe another PC Forum member took a good picture of it and will post it.

I’ll trust your number of coaches on display as my info came from a converter who may have stretched that number a bit. I didn’t actually count them, but I can say that from the point of view of someone who’s still a non-owner, there where a heck of a lot of them!

we attended the show on Monday and many of the coaches had no information on them. I hope they change that for next year. It was amazing and overwhelming seeing all of the gorgeous coaches! I was awed by the sheer size of them. Everyone was so friendly and it was a pleasure meeting Brandon Blythe from Legacy. Very nice man. We have decided to wait a year before taking the plunge. So hopefully we’ll find something at next years expo!

For some reason most Prevost coaches sold by dealers will not even have listed prices. I believe buyers are always going to have to carry the burden of going into the market prepared with information they have gathered about coaches in general, and the coach they are looking at in particular.

For many first time buyers (which we all were once) we found we could be easily sold a coach based on how it looks, its decor and colors. Once we dig deeper however we learn that is the wrong way to buy a coach. As potential owners we need to give a lot of thought as to how we intend to use a coach, what floor plan and features we like and don’t like, and pretty quickly we learn how to narrow the search. We don’t need a list of features when we see a coach because if we have done our homework we will know how a Liberty is equipped compared to a Millennium or a Marathon or a Country Coach.

As buyers we need to learn the maintenance history, and if buying from a dealer if it will come with all maintenance up to date or all repairs to be made or even if it has issues. It is a big deal buying a coach and unlike a car, there is a lot to consider.
