I just had the opportunity to live on board a pretty nice camper for a week. It is a Prevo converted by Angola. A friend of mine owns it. The 60series DD had a catistrophic gear drive failure and it blew up. He has had it stored for over 5 years now and finally got a new powerplant got it back to his drive. In addition to being idle and stored for that time there were other items needing fixing before it blew up, these folks full timed it at that time. I had a blast going over this camper. I totally fell in love with this bus, specificly the ceilings. Here are a few shots for insperation. The kitchen ceiling is awsum I may do something like it.  All this stuff could be duplicated if you have a little tallent with power tools and can laminate things. The hardest thing for me is visualising things but I am good at copying things thou LOL    | ||

Very nice, I would have to raise my roof before I could do an interior ceiling like that.... From full timers to 5 years of storage, what a sudden change to have to deal with. I'm glad to hear it is getting back on the road. . | ||

When it blew up and they stored it they replaced it with another Prevo, a Royal conversion, moved all their stuff over and continued down the road. Now they have 2. Some people got all the luck. They are going to sell one of them now, either one. He also has a H-3 45 shell. It is only primered, has 2 slides, a 60 series is 10 yr old an less than 10000 miles. This too is for sale or trade!!   | ||

There is an old Ozarks saying, "there is a lid for every jar". That is about all I can say about that interior. | ||

I had a look inside the marathon that originally was done for Reba when we were in Mesa a couple of weeks ago. Very glitzy,but apparently not enough for her. Way too far over the top for this old fart. Joe. | ||

That interior looks about like the newer SS coming off the production lines. I like the plain and simple which doesn't go out of style so soon. I'm really having a hard time keeping control of my typing fingers here!! | ||

... your worse with the temptation than nellie with her guitar Jcampers. That prevo with 2 slides, empty inside, is enough to send me out for lotto tickets; was that the one from the RV dealership in Quebec a few years back ? -remind them they probably get a lot more for their advertisement buck on BNO than at the E-Place/bidBAY thingy. | ||

Clint he WONT tell me where he got it & how he ended up with it. IMO it was probably back when he had more money than sence. The fellow likes to trade things, does it all the time. Just another bus nut go easy. | ||

We toured a coach a few years ago that if I remember correctly had belonged to George Jones. It was a "chrystal palace" tons of glass & mirrors. It was really cool to see but it didn't feel "homey" at all. Much prefer John Denver's or Willie's bus. I always feel like I'm going to break something in the fancy mirrored ones. | ||

Joe it appears you were right! Your friend has more money than sense! LOL He is wanting WAY too much money for his H3 in the condition that it is in! He said the sides are delaminating (fiberglass separating from frame) needs all new tires, hasn't been run in the last 3-4 years other than started occasionally and it still has a Canadian title. Uhh 230,000 is a bit high for a shell in this condition! He was offered 200,000 2 yrs ago and turned it down and it was in much better condition then! He said he will probably still have it 2 years from now as a shell! Pretty sad that a coach has to just sit and rot away! Thanks for the info and contact! | ||
