SOB AND TOM
-
I think this dramatic change in Tom’s taste is directly related to the fact that his last Prevost was a Marathon of the same year, configuration, and floor plan as my Marathon. I had threatened to bombard Tom with questions about my coach, taking advantage of Tom’s expanded knowledge.
I swear, I never followed through on my threats, but I guess the potential of my harassment was enough to motivate Tom to dump the Marathon and buy the Renegade. Now he thinks he is safe.
A few months ago, I “floated” the idea of Super-C to Melissa. Her response to the suggestion was quite chilly.

This is Tom’s temporary coach while his new 4 slide Liberty is being built. When his new coach is delivered he is going to give this one to Buddy.
And to think, all from dues money.
Poor Jon

Oh wow. Buddy is going to get more slides, from 3 to 4

Truth be told I told Tom that he was “welcome” to come in….Only has 2k miles on it so doesnt need anything
Yet…

Tom: enquiring minds want to know, compare the ride and drive to a Prevost? and comment on the quality of the construction vs. a Prevost?
I am one of 3,000 PC community members left wondering!
I respect your extensive coach knowledge and decision, just trying to reconcile in my mind… however do understand this length can get into the National Parks..

Our decision to leave the Prevost ownership world is simple. We decided after 15 years of bus ownership to down size to a new 2020 Renegade Verona LE Super C for a number of reasons. We like the simple systems, minimal maintenance, driveability of the Freightliner truck chassis, height, length and easy maneuvering. There’s a Freightliner dealer just about everywhere and the front engine makes service a breeze. It’s not a cheap Motorhome and they did a pretty nice job. No point in yaking about all the features, we like it and the 9.3 MPG ain’t bad…. And, Nance got 3 slides.
There’s nothing like Prevost ownership and for most of you that may never change. It was a great 15 years of bus ownership, but as age creeps up, smaller, simple and easy makes more sense for me and has kind of lit the travel fire again.
Some will say, how the hell can you be part owner in PC and not have a bus! Easy, nothing has changed about how I will continue to promote Prevost ownership and actively help owners and potential Prevost buyers any way I can. I did learn a lot over 15 years and will share what I know. Of course Jon knows a lot more, but I get the dues money.
So I may not be able to join in at places who discriminate against the non class A crowd, but if it’s a bus function and a Super C is allowed, I’ll probably be parked in back with the goat people.

Very well said Tom. Many happy and safe miles.
I’m sure that many of us would like to know how this compares to a Prevost in terms of handling, noise levels, ease of use, features, functions, etc.

I bet you can see out of your mirrors without the Crapco shake and rattle too……

Jon
Thanks for the upfront honest answers and your perspective given your specific circumstances. You mean a great deal to many of us and given we will all aging so the simplicity and smaller concept sure makes sense. Great plan and as always, we appreciate all you and Jon do for all of us.

Martha has her eye on a Unity Murphy Bed model Sprinter

I think a vote needs to be taken, do Tom and Nancy get to park up front with the bus crowd or are they banished to the Wal Mart parking lot !!!!!
Keep in mind the wrong outcome here could result in doubling of the dues money.

Looks great Truk. You have to like the mileage and the fill-ups a lot better. It probably pulls the Georgia hills better as well. I’ll be there with you and the GOATS. Is that an upgrade from the sheep?
