I’d agree somewhat until you really see the bones. If you figure an older one is priced at 10% of new, it’s probably about right - just 10% of a big number is still a big number. Look at any other 2000 coach and then really look at a prevost and you’ll see why.

Easy would be to add 12v lifepo4. Wouldn’t need a vanner though. Will also have to consider they can’t be charged below freezing. But if you get a battery with a BMS and understand its charge and discharge parameters and know your alternator and inverter parameters- it should work fine. It gets complicated when needing 24v though.

Probably subjective - I think at least annually and probably 10-15k miles. Will usually hit annually first.

I would say annually or 10-15k miles

Thanks

Probably was until Mr lawyer and Mrs liability came into the mix! Lol

We traded work - I did his install and he changed my oil, shocks and brakes. No idea what someone would charge to install the batteries, inverters and WS.

Thanks!

I left it in the video description- I found him through eBay. Highly recommend them.

It sold - thanks!

I respectfully disagree. If I turn off the air vent - you don’t really hear much at all. Don’t take my word for it though, I’d go test drive one and you’ll see why people like them.

They are something else for sure. Good to have a want, puts meaning into life. I will say you really have to want one, there is no monetary justification for one.

@@CampPrevost right. It's like a ¥hore. LoL 😂 She's gonna drain you, and you're gonna like it lol

I got it as a kit through prevost. I then sent to a company in Tx to install the leather. I think I have the company info in the video description

@@CampPrevost I actually ordered and already installed one from Prevost. I am having Brians’s RV (the original Country Coach electrician specialist) install the smart Module to operate the blinds. Thank you again for your help and the video.

@@richsanderson9103glad it helped! The smart module sounds interesting

Haha - sure! I’ll just swing by! Lol

You are very correct. It’s not for the light hearted. If you know your way around electronics it’s not bad but always something popping up. If you figure 5% going wrong - that’s a lot!

PJ with prevost and BBQ TH-cam channel does.

There will probably be an annual prevost gathering - join the FB group, find out when and go! One thing is for sure, everyone is great!

I think I would do slides next time. I also was thinking about an XL… I think they look sharp. I wanted no slides because I was scared of it going out. I think the air bladder may break down at some point but figure 5-10k for a fix and you’ll be fine. To be honest the non slide was fine. With two people, not sure a slide is needed. We traveled a lot though, so I wanted something that was nice driving - not cramped until your next stop. Once we stopped, we jumped in the truck and took off, really came back to sleep and shower - so we didn’t miss it. If you will stay for a long time - a slide would be nice.

PJ with Prevost and BBQ TH-cam channel should be able too give it to you.

You are correct

Ahh. Crap!

Thanks

Sold it last year. I need to put out a new video…

@@CampPrevost wait, after you spent all that time putting the CIGS up there? how were they working ? I'm about to do the same thing - any recommendations on wiring size ? i have a 100/50 victron . thanks!

@@DeFiDuke Hello - after installing them I think they did well. They stayed adhered which was my main goal and provided good power, my second goal. As for wire sizing, hard to say, I would need to understand how many panels you have, their specific output, etc. The higher you can keep the voltage the better, so the amp rating of the wiring can be reduced. This does, however, mean they are in series which kills all the panels in series when shaded. So plusses and minus. I liked having the MC4 connectors up top before entering the coach roof - this allowed me to disconnect anything should it need to be changed, disconnected, etc. I would also recommend a DC circuit breaker from the panels but before the solar charger. I would then have the solar charger DC power hit a fuse block before landing on your battery. This way you are able to unhook the solar charger from both sides, keep your solar panel power locked if needed, separate your battery from the solar charger if necessary - along with providing a path to sever the connection if things go wrong....

I know - I got busy and then put it up for sale and it was gone really quick.

@@CampPrevost why would you do that?

@@DeFiDuke I know. We have been doing this for 4 years, girls started getting involved in activities and we got super busy. We haven’t even had the chance if we kept it to use it. Worst thing for the bus was to keep her locked up all the time. She went to a good home in Tx. Ends up my daughter was just diagnosed with leukemia, so blessing for sure not having to worry about it.

@@CampPrevost locked up? Looks like you live in a safe neighborhood. Sorry to hear that heartbreaking, I hope she gets better I will pray 🙏

I'm about to install 700 w CIGS on top of my 2021 Fleetwood flair 29m and was using your video as a guide.. I will do part 2 for u 😁😂 hehee

Thanks

How do you know

They stopped making it - no idea why. I thought it was and still is awesome. I use it for my electric cooler all the time.

Thanks!

Wow!

Wouldn’t hurt to look. Where is the corrosion, on the SS frame? The rear end removable cassette that holds the engine is steel.

Awesome! My buddy had one too- can’t beat those planes! Thanks for watching!

@@CampPrevost Absolutely!!!

Thanks!

He keeps really good care of it for sure!

I think I just searched for the app through the Apple App Store

other port there say charge your cell phone not sure i would but you can

Xxrfmxx is correct

So I did with the v2 battery but they don’t have a software upgrade for the 24v version of the V1 battery. So it only read 1/3 of the set up….

Yes and no. I miss it, it was fun to work on and travel in. The kids are just so busy now we haven’t had a weekend open, it would just be sitting in the storage unit.

They sure do and when you least expect it!

Thanks and yes I did. Seems to have worked well. Thanks for watching

Thank you! Getting caught up.

Thanks

Great video as always, looking forward to the saying goodbye to sleeping beauty video 😢

Aaron, I miss your content, buddy! I can't even imagine the feelings you've had to deal with when you walk outside and realize your coach will never see that driveway again! I'll be subscribing to your new channel to keep an eye on your future projects! I'm looking forward to the farewell video!

Thanks

Was just time to move on. That was year 5 or 6, been to 36 states and probably 100k miles in total on all 3 of our coaches. Kids are older and busy with horse lessons, band, cheer, dance, family, etc. Probably be looking again in 4-5 years. Made some good friends, would like to keep posting some prevost videos in the interim

Unless it’s heated

Agreed but noticed you were pushing juice into the battery and battery temperature showed 28 degrees. That's why I posted. Nice rig btw.

Runs well for sure!

Agree. I don’t like to start it until the air has tensioned the belts
