Well It Looks Like no Camping for Awhile

[stillh2o]

Well just watch our motor coach leave for the last time. We will have to wait until late Nov. or Dec. for our new motor coach so no more trips until then. Well we can always rent but I like my own.

I feel your pain. We had to leave our fifth wheel at Lazy Days in Tampa for repairs. It has been there since Aug 6. We stayed at FW for 8 weeks over the summer and it was a new camper, so this is a "working the bugs out" visit. The good news is that we get another short trip to FW when we go to FL to pick up the camper. The bad news is we have not been able to enjoy short camping trips around here. What kind of coach are you getting? We almost bought a Fleetwood Expedition, but opted for an Everest fifth wheel instead. Boy, that was a huge step up from our travel trailer.

We ordered a Newell coach. I like the fifth wheel with the slideouts you get a lot of room. I have even seen them with fireplaces. Good Luck.

stillh2o you need to order a PREVOST coach they are Canadian built in Quebec and even Pres Bush has one LOL not that that makes them good but many famous people drive them and many race car drivers own them. I think they start at about 800 thousand or so.

The PREVOST Conversions are very nice no matter who converts it but the NEWELL has that extra bit of appeal to the eye when I look at them. Both are very good coaches but my $$$ would still lean towards a NEWELL first.

By the way, CharlesTD, how do YOU pronounce PREVOST? Have heard that the correct way is "pray-voe".

Just sold a 2002 PREVOST loved it but it only had 2 slideouts. The new one has 4 slideout and I think it looks better, but that is just me.

Actually up here it is pronounced prevost (preevo) don't ask me why the spelling and pronunciation vary so much but hey what do I know I am in ontario not Quebec LOL. Even our naval office in London which is the prevost naval office is pronounced the same (preevo). The one thing I would change in teh coach is the TV sets I would ditch the Plasma for LCD. Plasma is a non renewable gas within the set and with use it degrades and the picture gets distorted and becomes quite bad. LCD doesn't have that issue so you don't have to toss out an LCD wheras you just throw away the plasma sets because the gas can't be recharged.

Thanks for the preevo, I had heard that but it slipped the gray matter. Also heard that with the plasma there are problems when the set goes through elevation changes. When the set goes from the flat land into the mountains you get a bunch of unhappy campers looking at a 42" +/- screen. Guess the next best thing to do would be to step outside and take in the view, if available.

No problem at all John glad I could get that straightened out for you LOL. I can't imagine wanting to be indoors watching tv while in the rockies I would want to be outside as often as possible.
