Wow. Now that I've actually done a test drive and got a chance to drive it a number of miles, I can only say I made a great choice.The RV drives fine. Little extra oompf up the hills driving from Thurmont to Severn Maryland would have been nice, but it got there. It shifts great and at times I had to remove my foot or going well over 70. Not intentionally, just one of those "oh, that's how fast I'm going" moments. I don't want to ever drive this thing like I'm rushing. That's the point, right? Enjoy the trip?The view out of the front window is something else when driving near the mountains in Maryland. I bet it's even better when we go on our planned trips next year.If I can figure out what I'm doing wrong with the levelling jacks, I'd be all set. Just a bit of a learning curve and I'm in business.thanks for all the advice.

Haven't driven a Newmar gasser yet, is the speed governed to 76 mph like all the other Class A gassers? Do you use the Tow/Haul Mode? I use it constantly; much better performance.

Congratulations!!We really like the layout of that model.It's on our short list for a future purchase.

Look for an Equalizer manual for your leveling jacks. You may have to reset the null to let it know where level is. Not hard to do. You may find that driving with Tow/Haul ON all the time is a good option whether you are towing or not. And congrats and good travels.

considered activating tow/haul. Just trying to find out what all the buttons do. Took about 5 minutes to remember where the shade switch was when I was driving into the sunset. Now I'll never forget.Don't know if the Governor kicked in or not, I don't think I got up to 76. 72 when I looked down. Wonder if there's any dash extension or HUD I can put in place while driving? the indicators are way down compared to where I'm sitting. Not easy to glance, almost have to lower my head to make out what's up.DW wants me to get the Star Trek TOS air horn. Gotta think on that one.

Remember...do NOT press that button on the dash that's labeled, 'Ejector Seat'. That would be bad.Have FUN on the road. Remember it's the journey, not the destination. Also, slow down. Yea!

Wow, didn't report back. Bad Monkey!

Got the TST TPMS last year. installed it on all tires, including dolly and rear of the Prius when we tow.

Loctite solid stick used to keep TPMS sensors from coming off. Almost works too well.

Been a treat to drive. Just need to smack my GPS to stop with the scenic route stuff.

Finally figured out the leveling jacks. They work, but never having been inside a coach as it levels I will say it was a bit unnerving.

Worked great though.

Good on you. Glad you are enjoying your new coach.
I made a few mods to my Baystar 3401 that I am glad I did
I put a 5 star programmer on it a big improvement for shifting and power
I also installed a Hellwig rear stabilizer, Road master steering stabilizer and I bought the hellwig 7962 extendable links so I could do the CHF and leave the front stabilizer bar in the factory position and still use the inside holes to provide a better feeling ride. I spent about $1700.00 in these improvements and the ride is totally different. We really are enjoying this coach as we struggled with the gas DP question. The $$ savings for us have been worth the trade off

Mr. David,

A lot of the Prevost guys are adding the Pressure Pro system. The newer Prevosts have the TPMS built in.

A guy named Tom is a Prevost owner and representative of Pressure Pro and Lifeline batteries. He can certainly point you in the right direction. I have personally met him at rally's and he is a super nice guy.

Mr. Mark,

TPMS is on my list. Any suggestions for a decent system? So much out there, and so much to digest. I like the idea of knowing tire condition. Had a blowout on my truck back when I towed a trailer. Safely handled the event and the rim was undamaged (I expect the weight of the trailer kept the truck from dipping down on the rim) but I always wanted to upgrade to a TPMS after that. Never did, just kept an eye on my pressures better.

Mr. David,

Congrats on the new coach, looks like you have a lot of fun ahead!!

You might want to think about a Tire Pressure Monitoring System just for added safety.

Safe travels,

I installed a recording camera pointed out the front window in mine...didn't feel the need for more.

Yeah, would be great to see your installation process.

Oh believe me, I did not want to go beyond 60 MPH.

Going to see about some modifications to the camera system to incorporate an all sides DVR for recording while driving, and perhaps another monitor on the left side so I can see the cameras without taking my eyes off the road so much.

Will document anything I do.
