Slightly off topic but I'm just curious what the reasoning is to get a Prevost Custom Coach over something like a King Air or Essex or Zephyr or Cornerstone or one of the other factory coaches. Is it because you want to be able to customize it just the way you want it (which you might not be able to do on a factory coach)? Is there that big of a jump in quality, fit and finish (if I'm not mistaken, I thought the Prevost conversions about double or more the cost of the highest end factory coach)?
Let us know. Thanks.
To me, it's for the rock solid chassis and the fit and finish. I looked at a King Air while at Traverse City, Michigan, around the 4th of July when my nephew got married. Newmar had two coaches at the RV resort, a King Air and an Essex. The Essex sold that weekend. The price on the King Air was just over $900,000 MSRP.
It was nice but the Aqua-Hot exhaust was SO low! If you were drive into a driveway with a crest, you would lose that pipe. It should be as close to the front of the rear wheels as possible. They had it at the very middle of the underside.
We semi-customized our Dynasty as it was on the assembly line when we ordered it. We were able to pick the exact options and colors offered. With a Prevost converter, you work with a clean slate. Now, as I mentioned in my first post, if I could find a 2010 or up Prevost equipped like I would order it (90%+),,,, I would certainly consider it.
I tried joining the Prevost website/forum but you have to be 'approved' and I haven't received my email password yet. LOL!
