Can a high end Spartan K3 Chassis be better than a Prevost?

I'm very interested in learning about the different nuances of the Prevost, Prevost shells, as per slides, and the chassis differences between their own product line. What better a font of information here, than an actual new buyer of a Prevost conversion - Liberty, in this case. 25 years ago, a friend of mine here in Dallas, Texas bought a new Prevost, Liberty conversion custom-made of course. It cost him just under $400K. 14 or so years later he had it up for sale, in it's very used condition with lots of miles and wear on it for as I recall; $120K or so. At the time, I went and looked at it from the exterior and decided against it because of it's worn look after being ridden hard for all those years and miles. It was a 40'er with the Detroit Silver 92 labeling on the rear exterior of the coach. The lower sides were the polished aluminum. The diesel generator was located in a left side, front compartment. It's good to read here that the Prevost is still in my estimation the top of the heap. Were I to upgrade from my lowly fiberglass diesel rig, I'd feel that if I were to go Prevost, it would be a once and done decision - as I am reading your outlook is for a 20-year timeframe/ownership horizon of your new Prevost.

The quality of the Prevost shell is what helped me make my decision. The prices of a new Prevost conversion with all the amenities are ranging from $2.2 to just under $2.7 MSRP.

They are a commitment for sure. I don't see any reason to trade, ever. :)

Mark,

Do you know of a Prevost forum that doesn't have an admission annual fee? I'd like to pursue my interest in purchasing a pre-owned Prevost, is why I am asking.

SRJ, yes, you can go to www.PrevostCommunity.com and sign up as their site is free. There is a delay as they check out your info (how I don't know). The guys over there are full of Prevost info and helped us tremendously with all of their knowledge and experience.

Also, since I've been reading the PC website, there has been a surge in used Prevost sales. There is also a guy that owns a Prevost service center that chimes in with repair answers.

Good luck and safe travels,

MM.
