Jon,

I noticed that when exit 101 was mentioned for I-40 that it would not be near Knoxville. Exit one would be in Memphis at the Mississippi River, so exit 101 would be just past Jackson, TN (about exit 80) on the way to Nashville which starts in the late 190’s (exit numbers).

Now, I realize the importance of not “standing out”. It’s going to be kinda hard to do with a new coach. I’ll have to race from Prevost rally to Prevost rally with no stops in between. We’ll have to have a honey wagon and fuel truck follow us around! LOL!

In the 7 or more years with our current coach and a few years before that with rentals, we have never had a scary issue or threat. We are counting our lucky stars.

Boy, I sure wish our coach was ready before the OKC no rally rally but it won’t be.

If you guys consider 298 miles a short distance I guess it is close to my house.

Now that I think about it that sounds like an easier way to get money than working for it.

Rest area robberies are not new. About 8 years ago a Prevost owner was outside his coach in a rest area when another “traveler” went by him and told him he should go down the row about 3 trucks because there was some guy losing a lot of money in a card game. He went down out of curiosity and it wasn’t a card game but a couple of guys who grabbed him, took his Rolex and emptied his pockets including his wallet and a lot of cash.

After hearing that story I don’t venture far from the coach and I always look around before I step outside unless another couple is with us.

What’s a viper? Is that the thing that cleans rain off the windshield?

Oakie,

That cracked me up. It reminded me of Jon, but then I realized the guy wasn’t sitting in his underwear, I didn’t see the Geritol bottle, Mack the Knife wasn’t playing in the background, so that snapped me back to reality.

Over the course of 24 years of coach ownership I have heard of a handful of shops or technicians that are to be avoided at all costs. I have heard of mistakes made, but with rare exception the owner was made whole.

I have never seen any Prevost service provider until this week that has screwed up horribly bad and then left the owner hanging.

Just as Jeff’s shop in Tennessee is benefiting from all the great comments here on PC community, Excalibur WILL feel the pain of 1,400 members who now have heard Larry’s story. Being a business owner myself, as many here are, it would be a very very small price to pay to simply refund ALL the money spent by Larry. It’s a different world out there and all one has to do is a google search on excalibur and these threads will come up.

I would spend some time posting on other sites too. Sorry it had to work out this way.

I did receive a refund check for my transmission service from Excalibur Coach in the mail today for $750. At least that will help towards some of the repair.

I forgot to relate that the original reason for all of this was an attempt (accomplished) to pick up enough room at the foot of the bed to walk straight on instead of sideways. Everything else it does is just a bonus. Geo

Excaliber is entitled to post a response here and we would encourage them to do so if they have information contrary to what Larry has posted.

But in the meantime our over 1400 visitors per day have now formed an opinion.

Thanks Larry. You have helped a lot of people that otherwise may have gotten in trouble.

[Corey]

Montana already !!!!! You must be in an awful big hurry to buy another coach to be moving that fast. 65 miles an hour my a%&. Besides which ,I have been in the black holes ( electronics wise) at monument valley and Moab. We just arrived in cheyenne for the night and will be at spearfish tomorrow so there goes your free beer. The coach does look good though, nice and shiny exept for the wheels LOL. Too bad they arent chrome !!!!

This is my last bus!

Hey Tom how much did he charge you or did you get a big secret discount. How long are you gonna be there? We will be there wednesday. Hope to see you and Nancy.

[Corey]

You better not exceed 80 or you will blow all that new wax off the coach ,,,,,,,
