Confirms my belief in the quality of a Marathon Coach. If I am going to dream I am going to dream big.

It’s great that we have prosperity like that in America where folks can afford and enjoy any of the items these folks have had and the Prevost. Grats on your new purchase guys! Hope it gives you many years of safe and fun filled memories !

I just love marathon coaches. Congratulations on your new coach

The Newmar King Aire is a top end coach. The Prevost Conversion is another level. I have an 06 Wanderlodge 450 Lxi. They all have issues and need constant attention and maintenance. That costs money. As long as you know that upfront your expectations are realistic.

Still rolling with my Blue Bird, next best thing to a Prevost IMO , not sure if or when I'll move up because the Bird has been so great....

Yep, it's Prevost all the way for me. Again, it's simply a matter of which conversion company you prefer. Liberty or Mararthon or Millenium.

Great story and very informative Andrew. I can't wait for part 2 and see 1124.

Being a truck driver and an owner of a 2015 Ram diesel pickup I can say from experience that the problem with DEF systems overall are over blown. All one has to do is learn how the system works and how to prevent issues in the first place. 149000 miles on my RAM and only been in the shop once for DEF issue and it was the wiring harness. Our tractors hardly ever have DEF issues. That being said, I would still prefer NOT having it at all.

We have a 38ft 2012 Tiffin Allegro Red qra bath and a half. We traded up from a 34ft. Winnebago Suncruiser both diesel pushers. The move to Tiffin from the Winnebago was startling with the improvements in handling, power, and interior aesthetics. And even though we are very satisfied with the Tiffin, it sounds like a move into a Prevost would be a likewise eye opening, albeit much more expensive experience. Thanks for sharing. I will check out Coachnet vs. Good Sam or AAA RV towing options. We switched to Good Sam from years with AAA and had to have our coach towed due to a water pump problem, while snow birding in Phoenix last year. We were advised by the tow operator to go back to AAA because of his years of experiences dealing with both. So we will add the Coachnet advise to our consideration process.

Thanks for sharing this story. Whole lot of RV’s for these folks, hopefully they found their dream coach. We also have coach.net. Small cost for piece of mind.

My cornerstone is 2017 its 45 ft and it jas 605 cummins . As far as power you order a 605 in a king air I owned a 2012 king Air myself it had 600 cummins i bought it from a Nascar race team it was nice it had snap on tool boxes my good friend bought it

I even had a 2007 winnebago Tour 400 cummins 3 slides 36 ft 89000 miles when i bought it . My king Air had 149k miles at the time of purchase

Very interesting interview, I enjoy the interviews as much as the walkthroughs 👍

DEF was the worst thing they ever did to diesels. Many a trucker has gone broke with DEF issues. They are pure crap,

WOW what a beautiful Luxury Motor Coach . It's a 2008 but it looks new . Hope Fred & his wife are able to keep it forever . I'm going to recommend Coach Net to my friends that just bought a 2013 Fleetwood Bounder w / 3 slides . I don't know if they have coach Net or not .

He's got the Detroit, that engine is sparky. Lol. 2 things to remember on Detroit's, they will leak oil eventually, the alternator mount will eventually break.... Fitzgerald does a alternator mount upgrade that works flawlessly. The oil leaks, between 750k and 1 million miles. That coach will do 2 million miles with proper maintenance

Wow I think that was a great move by those folks!

AWESOME video and information!!!

I think these folks didn't say what they were really feeling: "If we're paying about a million dollars for a coach, we expect better than what we got." The idea of buying a luxury RV is to be able to travel comfortably, but what they seemed to have gotten is, "don't worry, we'll have this problem figured out ASAP, and get you back on the road soon (even though it's brand new). At this level, maybe Newmar should have King Aire loaners available when customers go in for service or try much harder to produce a flawless coach?

Hi Andy, I think most of us know the difference between Prevost vs production coaches. I see you have about 15 videos trying to prove how much better a Prevost is over production. WE get it. I assure you. Let's move on. Everybody would be ridding in a Prevost if they could afford them. I bought a 2014 Tiffin 45 LP never had any problems what so ever beside changing motor for blinds. That's it! AS far ridding down the road, (smooth as silk.) I assure you I have double the Sq footage as Prevost. Prevost would be my choice if I was going coast to coast once a week.. My two cents. lol

Great interview Andrew. When I hit the powerball I'll buy the biggest and most decked out Prevost there is. I'll have someone drive it everywhere for me while I ride my Harley in front of it and sleep in luxury.

The basic premise of the New owner’s conclusion is flawed. There is expectation that the 2008 Prevost that they haven’t even taken delivery of will be better than what they have now. My guess, there will be a new set of problems. These are very complicated vehicles built in very low production. As owner’s we are the guinea pigs debugging them. We must create the lists and then have the problems fixed and after a certain number of service appointments the kinks are worked out if the coach was built properly in the first place, a big “If” in the world of RVs. Yacht owners have the same struggles during the commissioning period, and many of those yachts cost $10s of millions, but again, are custom built.

What Ive always been saying. Any used Prevost is better than any new fiberglass RV

Beautiful coach and I concur on the benefits of Coach Net. Mike

I was pretty amazed something interview I'm glad that a lot of people of different ethnicities buying coaches now I just hope they come out with better prices it'd be nice if they had a company that can make tires for these big rigs that do not go flat at all 🤔 🇺🇲 🇵🇷 😊 🖖🏼 🤟🏼

Prevost just makes the chassis, the Coach Builder is responsible for everything from the paint to the interior. I don't get the obsession with Prevost...several generations of those chassis are know for their panels on the sides delaminating and it cost a fortune to repair. I always laugh when I see someone running around an RV lot going, "Where's the Prevost?"

How could the Prevost be quicker off the line with less horsepower? It would have to be gear ratios or actual horsepower to the wheels. Newmar King Aire has 605HP, Prevost has 505hp? Something doesn't add up unless the newer Newmar is so choked down with the DEF and it's heavier

I noticed the Newmar is made in Indiana. It seems like all I hear is horror stories about RVs from Indiana. If I was the owner of one of these Indiana RV manufacturing companies I would invest in getting my plant ISO certified to eliminate these problems.

Suggest folks get on Prevost Forums to do further research...

When trading up is trading back. I know your a big LIBERTY COACH guy, Andrew, and liberty coaches are awesome, and would be my second choice, I am a MARATHON guy and believe they are the best. Going from a new coach to a 10 year old coach, wouldn't normally be a trade up, only with MARATHON and LIBERTY, would that be a trade up. As always Andrew, stay safe and give Sadie some love for me.

Andrew, I thought you got in a Prevost. But it was still a cool interview and I'm still excited for these new coach owners living the dream.

Great vid. Other brands I’m curious about for build quality are 2007-2008 Country Coach and Beaver Coach. They seem to have a great following. Lastly some Super C’s from Showhauler and Haulmark.

Would like to see an update of these people and their coach

Thanks for the video. I would like to contact those new owners to collaborate any glitches. Iam the owner of Mararthon 1118.

Small world: the cabin heating system in both uses coils built at my factory. Look for a BDI **** stamp on the metal endplates on the coils.Anywhere from 5 to 15 in each coach:depends on coach design. Have those on a 10 year warranty btw. In 20 years I have yet to hear of one starting to leak.

I just watched this video now but knowing that you are looking to upgrade your coach, seriously, you need to look at some of the Bluebird Wanderlodges that are currently for sale. Any of the 'Birds for sale on __T Trader are going to be very close to what you are looking to purchase.

When I win the lottery the first big purchase is going to be an pre emisisons 07 H3 (I think the news / lotto corp will write a news storey saying I'm buying a used H3 Hummer lol)

well... not so good review of NEWMAR King Aire... honest folks, I like it, good job Andrew. Prevost all the way baby

Good Q & A with actual owners

Andrew when are your trading the Tiffin in on a marathon or liberty coach?

Maybe you can get the Newell owner from the other video to do a Newell vs Prevost comparison. Which would you pick out of the two?

Great interview Andrew,

Great information Andrew!!

Wow ..really nice!

Dang Andrew.....you better start marketing that tiffin of yours so you move up to a MARATHON.........#1Marathonfanboy

Guess those poor people are unaware of the delamination problems,,,, in the XL 2

Shit i sold a King Air for a Cornerstone My cornerstone shit is 45 ft i have a 605 cummins

I own a Cornerstone mine has a 605 cummins i hsve every options

In defense of king Air sounds like your problems were with the POS exhaust and emissions system and not the coach.

Wise choice

More!!!

Them folks must have lost their minds😩😩😩

ok healthy debate or food for thought here - 1st show me a guy that has driven his motor home 100k , seriously i want to meet him- so Freakin rare! much less a million miles,A New Prevost will lose every one buying one more $ than a new king aire every single day of ownership BAR none! now is it nicer? well yes but what i said is 100! for those who can afford a prevost well more power to you! but what i said is true, it may hurt, and may suck but if your talking $ you will lose more daily! :) price a 2000 prevost vs a 2000 king aire that proves most of the point of cost of ownership . yes i do own a 2000 lol , is my 2000 newmar still valuable? look one up on Rv trader and a prevost also the #s are way closer to the same value now, they are both toys! now if you say the boy with the most $ to buy the most expensive toy wins well then in your book the guy with the Prevost wins:)

AS far how fast the coach is HP , Type Transmission Weight . Me personally my Cornerstone performed better than king Air . Much cleaner ride .

Why buy New when slightly Used will do, lol now I remember hearing that from somewhere. Anyway Thumb Up liked for you all.

Bull shit that is your opinion I think Marathon is overpriced there are so many features out there that they don’t put on the coach this is 2019 get with it NEWELL He’s a much better coach they manufacture their own chassis

this guy is the most negative person to any coach other than Prevost on KZfaq. I do say one thing, any brand new coach no matter what the cost is should leave the factory with everything working as should and, should work well at least through the time of the warranty. Whatever the King Aire had for warranty for that should last for years and years without problems.

Boring content Andrew, speed? My Bus is 56 years old, who's in a hurry when you have so much weight under you? Goodluck with your Career.
