Rv ownership was a dream of my dads when I was a kid. 1 of my own aspirations. Camping, 4 wheeling with my boy and wife is on my menu!!,

From what I understand from reading about Bus Conversions (Prevost, MCI...) versus Class 8 Truck Conversions (Peterbilt, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, Kenworth...) -Bus Conversions have the most usable floor space because the bed is typically above the engine in the rear, they have the largest pass through storage bsys underneath. but they are the most expensive to operate because there are fewer of them making parts more expensive, fewer repair facilities. -Truck Conversions, have less usable floor space because the engine is in the front and cannot be used as living space, they cannot have pass through storage bays underneath because of the frame is in the way, they are better designed to be on the road and take a beating from potholes and such, parts are less expensive and more repair facilities.

The best coach is a used one you can pay cash for.

Thank you Andrew you just saved me 1,000,000 1/2 dollars! I am very happy with my four slide Monaco coach. 40 foot PDQ it’s fully loaded and ready to go. Thomyt

Sounds like a Newell or Prevost purchase is imminent. Thanks for the video.

Very nice Newell. Premium coach group is awesome. Great tour, thank you Andrew. Happy trails!

Love the Monaco Coach!❤

Thanks Andrew for the great videos that you put out , very entertaining to see all this high-dollar equipment. I'm sure you have helped a lot of people with your advice.

Bro you are on fire with all these RV vids, can't stop won't stop I see you Andrew!!!!

Excellent and Thank you for covering that!!!

Another great video! Really agree on the issue of total cost of ownership and proximity to service locations as well as customer service!

Always a pleasure Andrew! Your vid shows that my non-slide Prevost Liberty fits me like a glove... Sure, she's vintage but I like my wine that way too... And the Harley-Davidson on the back just makes it Rock 🤘I spent so much time sleeping in one when I was in the entertainment biz.. feels like home.

Great questions. That is a gorgeous Newell coach. The woodwork looks flawless for a 12-year old coach.

Super helpful Andrew. Thanks!

I'm thinking you need to head on down to Chandler to Premium Coach and pick up that Prevost you showed us last week ! You'll never be happy until you do. :)

Excellent video Andrew!

Loved this informative vid, thanks Andrew.

That's a lot of great information. Thanks Andrew!!

Thanks for the 7 questions Andrew. Well done and very helpful ....

Well after binging on both Andrew and Matt with Andrea, I’ve pretty much got an idea. If I had the money to live this out I would get the Renegade Verona 40VBH 8142. It’s a super c on a truck chassis with a bunk beds. I love the layout and the reclining theater seats. Bunk beds for those “non paying overnight dropins”. While the exterior is a coffee or mocha color one can always get it repainted or wrapped if possible. I like the ceramic spray they use for the winterization. The inside makes me think nice cabin to go skiing or fishin.

Thanks for all of the videos, Andrew. I would live to think that one day we would have a luxury coach. For now we'll enjoy our Allegro Red..

The best RV for me is the little 15' Volkswagen Westfalia sitting in my garage.😁 It's nice to look at and admire these "mansions on wheels" (aunt and uncle have one they rarely use) but, for me, smaller is much better!

Andrew, whatever decision you make will be the right one for you! Good luck....

I totally agree, get a trailer if your going to stay put for a while. No need to worry about drivetrain and engine etc. I like those Country Coach Prevost, those are some good looking rvs.

Excellent Educational RV purpose and usage video.

All important things that are sometimes a little overlooked by new buyers...then Andrew steps into a Newell that's exactly the color scheme/materials I'd want, and I end up with a Newell in my driveway that's totally wrong for me! lol Seriously though, yet another informative and well done upload, and that Newell is nice!

The Newell you’re sitting in as my name written all over it from the Cat engine to the burnt orange. I can’t wait to see your complete video on it.

Hello Andrew: This is a beautiful coach, as are the others on the showroom floor. I'm glad on your consulting list you mention that it's a luxury item, a toy. On the question of budget, the Prevost at $500,000 would indicate the buyer's next worth should be no less than $2 million in liquid assets. Such a coach is a rich man's toy--unless using it for business as an entertainer would, for instance. The annual costs, including depreciation, fuel, maintenance, campground fees, storage fees, loan interest, etc. I believe would narrow it down considerably to only those with big bank accounts. I'm also glad you'd mention to your clients the cost of trading in or simply getting out of the coach would not be a neto zero transaction.

Look at all those Beautiful RVs under cover 😍😍 thought 😱😱 when i was in the UK Monaco’s were King really and I’ve always wanted one ☝🏻 🥰🥰

On your saying that many slide-outs may not be convenient if you aren't spending much time parked, it doesn't hurt to have slide-outs, just be sure its a Floorplan that still has things accessible when they're closed. That way they're optional if you want the space but if you don't want to mess with them then leave em in.

At first I thought we were going to see your new toy... good video, good thoughts.

Ah you didn’t forget us little people! Lol. Need a balance of super rich toys, And us working class families. Great video, only so many at the top! 👍😊

Nice presentation to give buyers some food for thought....kuddos.

Great information Andrew

Good advice 😄. Cheers 🍻

Simple ... 2020 ATC Toy Hauler / Can Am and the Super glide in the back - No brainer

Great video as usual. I would add question #8: What are you willing to drive based on your comfort level and experience? Some people get in over their heads. 2020 was a record setting year for RV sales, and most of the purchases were made by first time RV owners. I’m in the infancy stages of starting an RV driver safety consulting business and have helped a few people learn how to drive their rig. Not trying to plug anything, just pointing out something that might otherwise be overlooked.

I still love my upgraded 8.3 Cummins (475hp) 2000 Monaco Dynasty. When you own an older one you want to be handy.

So many choices 👍🏼

From what I understand from this video, there are a few RV Builders that build on a Prevost Chassis (who were they?) and that there are other Manufacturers that build on other RV Chassis (who were they? Winnebago, Newell, Tiffon, Liberty, Marathon, King Air, Country Coach, Monaco Dynasty, Beaver Marqui)

Coaches have come a long way from my 2004 Winnebago Vectra!

What did you get?

Awesome video Andrew 💯

hey andrew 👋 that is awesome to let us know about how to invest an rv 🚍 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍cheers 🍻 and peace ✌ stay safe 😷 🤘🤘🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

What did you trade your Tiffin in for????

Andrew, I think you traded your Tiffin Phaeton, so you can get rid of it, you went the dealer trade route so you don't have to deal with next owner. You turned the page, another chapter in your life, you moved on. You spent a good amount of money (more than you initially wanted) to fix the water leak, then you decided to upgrade the interior and you were excited about the updated rig. Maybe you thought you would keep it a few more years, but then it is an older girl, you found some more annoying things about her. And, with your YT job you get a chance to drive $1M+ coach, you get spoiled, then you go back and compare your Phaeton, it's more blah. The Leasure Travel Van is a temporary transportation, you said it, deep down you want a class A but funds are not there (like many of us here). I wish you good times in your new RV, please continue to share your adventures. Let’s see if you adapt to a smaller RV, time will tell. Look forward to your reviews of used luxury RVs, the campgrounds/resorts, the owners, the manufacturing, I learned so much watching your channel.

A nice non slide X might not be your forever coach only because you're still young but it will serve you well for now and Sadie will love it.

Another important question is "What type of RVing is the buyer planning to do? Beautiful full-service campgrounds or state parks to boondocking? That also determines type & size of RV. Also, is the buyer planning to fully service the RV himself or have it fully serviced? That could also determine the type & drive train of the coach.

Side patio deck on a motorhome? I want to see more of that one!

I'm hoping that you made a deal on that Newel ? Or that Prevost with the poker table in back !!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Newmar...nuff said

Some day! 😎👍

I was the first commenter on az expert video yesterday on the 2009 newell at premium coach group. I simply asked- could this be Andrews new rig? Az expert was quick to reply with the following- "funny, I ran into him today and saw his new rig. I won't spoil the surprise but I'm jealous and it's very nice" I noticed az expert was in this video today from andrew so it seems very reasonable to assume his new rig is indeed in that showroom. But who knows.....

Andrew what about Discovery LXE do you have a video on them

My mind is made up. Mid entry Newell.

OK Mr. Steele, after I win a big lotto jackpot, you are the go to man for guidance and recommendations on the best coach for me. If my dream comes true, expect a call and a big commission. Thank you so much for your unmatched presentations.

So if you had a choice in 2005 range coach Prevost or Newell?

Andrew you are killing me. What gently used coach did you purchase????

Which one are you getting for your trade in you mentioned ?

Newell VS Prevost.......I think I would go Newell

Andrew what’s your next rig? I think you said in last video you were trading in your rv tomorrow? Can’t wait to see?

11:14 Prevost non-slider is more to my needs.

You stopped detailing?? I was going to call you when I go to AZ in May

I would say it's the 2005 Prevost Marathon!

Last video you were gonna trade your rv in. So what did you get?

can you find me some extra $$$ to get one of the Newell Coaches.

Hello I was wondering what kind of a License do you need for a bus

Hey Andrew, you normally do good with your videos; however, you missed a very important question everyone needs to ask. Does it have a rack for a 10-speed bicycle just in case you run out of gas? Glad I could help.

WHATS UP COUSIN!!!

My mind is made up too, I need to hit the lottery. LOL. If that happened,....Maybe I could hire Andrew to drive it to our destinations? So that brings up an idea for a video, hiring drivers. I know it’s possible, I have just never heard what the deal is.

The units built today, as a result of mass production, are a POS. I have a Fleetwood Discovery (not cheap) that has been problems from purchase. Notwithstanding the fact there driveway company severely damaged my unit taking to the factory where they did half the repairs (warranty) The higher end custom build are a better choice.

What did you buy Andrew

What did that patio coach look like???

ONE YOU CAN AFFORD!!!!

Nice hat.

Dude, could I just hang out with you sometime?

One of the most important things to remember before buying an RV is, don’t buy one if you don’t really need it. It will cost a huge amount of money and take up a lot of your time. Am I right?

How tall are u we een watching videos and u mention it but never how tall u are would help us as I am tall as well thanks we enjoy the videos

Showhauler

Is that your new coach

"I'd like to reach out and thank the folks at Premium Coach Group for letting me film this video in the coach that I'm buying from them". Wait for it......wait for it......he just walked by it; which one did Andrew get?? Hi Andrew. Thank you very much for sharing these tips! They are really great consideration points, for sure. I slightly feel like I sold my sole to the devil and have been unfaithful to your channel. I've been watching your channel for a year and really looking forward to getting a well loved diesel class a; but I knew we had to wait until after the new year to get my daughter's last semester of college paid off. Well, about a month ago, we finally had our family pow wow and went over all of the considerations that were important to us. Fortunately, many of the talking points in your video were included in that discussion. If we were diesel class a (think 1992 Prevost or something like that) bound, I had a budget of about 175k. Once we started really talking, we agreed that for the next 5 years, which is about the length of time I plan to work, we really were mostly going to take 1-2 week trips that would mostly focus on boondocking in national forest or on BLM lands. As you can imagine, the diesel class a concept somewhat dies in that plan (for now). We also didn't want to spend mega cash when we knew our rig requirements were going to drastically change in 5 years when we started doing 1-2 month trips. So, our options landed at either a very small 20ft couples trailer and struggle with our Toyota Tacoma, getting a new full sized truck and getting either that 20ft trailer or upgrade to a mid sized 25ish ft travel trailer, or go for a class c and just know that our boondocking would be limited a bit. We set 100k-ish as our limit. Well, we settled on a new f350 gasser and a 26ft travel trailer. We just went with the max truck in the event we ever upgrade the travel trailer. And, we went with a modest trailer that will still fit in most spots. I didn't want the trailer to dominate the truck here in CO or any of these surrounding Rocky Mountain states. Both of these items are ordered; truck will be built in April-ish and the trailer will be built in July. I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos that spill the beans!! I do have my annual aircraft training down in Phoenix in March, I may just have to come visit Premium Coach Group too to do some tire kicking for the 5 yrs from now period. Safe travels!!

Having 4 slides isn't a liability on the road. Just don't put out the ones you don't need on a particular stop... ;-)

Is this a repeat? Seems like i have heard this before

"consulting," but I don't usually write stuff down...there's a strong credibility statement.

Retired 33 years otr truck driver maybe willing to chauffeur you around in your soon to be new used Newell luxury coach.

So you say you're no longer running your detail business Andrew , what are you doing now ??? Is it RV reviews full time ???

Biggest obstacle: Spouse

Which one are you getting?

Was that your Cadillac in back of your coach

I thought Country Coach made their own chassis. Many in this video you called Prevost C Coach

Mmmmmm....? So you shopped prior to your last video? Kinda thinking that Newell is your new coach?.......Mmmmm? maybe I should have watched the whole video before posting. I'm going back to my original guess. New "shorter" Tiffan from General RV. But can't help but wonder because you like Newell and Prevost so much...Guess we all just have to wait.

I dislike Prevosts. Feel too much like a bus. Newells are awesome though.

They nearly all look like a fancy hotel room in Vegas. Disappointing. People making themselves feel good, look good and phoney. Why not a nice diesel pusher without the Vegas bling?

$$$$$$$$$ :) PEACE mister

And Andrew traded his Tiffin in on.....wait for it..... Wait for it................. Waite for it.......... To be revealed soon.........,🙂

What your bank account can afford.

If you want to learn more about Truck Conversions Class 8, go to TruckConversion.net

I'm waiting on my Doge Coin to explode and I'm buying a Newmar.

If you are considering buying a Classic XL keep in mind that there is a good chance the TCM will go out. If it goes out #1 your coach will not start and #2 it will not shift as it is the module that controls the transmission. I have a 1994 Vogue and can not find a new TCM anywhere in the country because they do not make them anymore. I am having to ship it off and have it rebuilt (1-2 week process)

Don't worry, the average consumer is not going to afford your RV's
