Looking to purchase a Prevost bus conversion (early to mid 1990's). Have had buses for the past 20 years (1972 GMC 4108 & 1984 Eagle 10). We are headed to Florida for 6 weeks from Maine, so we could stop and look at some on the way down or while we are in Florida. Please e-mail me with contact numbers at: dktracytracy@aol.com if you know of any for sale. Thanks, Eagle 10 | ||

HECK, Mine could always be up for sale if the money was right! I know where there is an H3 45 I would love to have and convert and incorporate the needed changes we feel we need now that we have used it more often! | ||

Ace, a friend of mine says that the best way to build the perfect bus conversion is to build a second one. (But that's a frightening thought!) | ||

Ace ;; Ain't it?? LOL I thought it was? Were we dreaming again, thinking that we all were finished and no more repairs, just drive till we got tired of it and went in a motel and slept good got back up and hit the road again. GEE how boring LOL gomer | ||

Gomer, my bus although we feel is tastefully done is far from perfection! Why do you think I have been changing things that were already done once? After using it more and more, you tend to find out what works and what doesn't! | ||

LOL Ace. I have the feeling that what we do, we can always find something better to do it with. I have quit looking because it cost me lots of cuts, bruises, temperment of a sound mind{?} the list continues. I do love to view the coaches on line coosstttiinggg lots of money $1,000,000.00 plus and just leave my money in my pocket.. LOL gomer | ||

"I do love to view the coaches on line coosstttiinggg lots of money $1,000,000.00 plus and just leave my money in my pocket.. " Well most are pretty to look at , but squint and imagine replacing or repairing most anything. 8-10 hours to R&R an inverter? These were usually built with so many poorly engineered systems where there is not even a schematic to figure why the blinds close when the HW heater turns on. IF the lobby of an Italian Cat House is your dream home , you may love the look , but keeping the miles of wiring up will be a new hobby. CAVIAT EMPTOR FF | ||

Have any of you who are worried about the complexities of certian converted coaches ever actually did any electrical troublshooting or repairs on them? What I have found is just the opposite. Every wire its source and termination can be easily found with the schematic. If you have a blind going up and down with the switching of the hot water heater and for whatever reason cant get it right maybe you need to be in a Coachman. Although many are complex I have seen very few poorly engineered in fact if I had to choose I would have to say Prevo does way more things wrong on the chassis then the converters do on the house systems. If your looking to do a bus now keep your money in your pocket and get one already converted. It will cost less in the end and you wont end up with a bunch of poory engineered systems. |
