One of the reasons is they are based in Illinois(Chicago area specifically). One of the highest taxed states in the union. They have got to pass those tax costs off to the consumer. They are just a high end converter same as Marathon and Featherlite. I think once I win the lottery I will be heading to Oklahoma and talking to Newell.
Liberty understands their product, their network, their operations, and their customers. Kudos to them for standing behind their products when others fall short.
Andrew, you’ve been in the top of the line Liberty and Newell Coach. They both top out over $2M. - Which is higher quality? - Which drives better (active steer and an extra 100hp on Newell)? - If you had $2M, which would you buy for yourself?
If I was to get a Liberty I'd be happy with the 500hp Volvo engine as I drive a truck with the same but I'd scrap the Allison and get a Volvo iDrive gearbox as I think it would better suit the engine. I'd want bunks too. I'd love to see a paint job from Dean in a deep midnight blue non metallic.
Andrew, this was actually a very good video. You did a really good job interviewing Frank and the questions you asked and Frank's responses were very informative. When ever I pass by Liberty in Stuart, I find myself dreaming of the day I own one.
Andrew, another great interview and you are covering the topic I believe to be the most important for a buyer of this caliber. The national service network and the single phone call regardless of the product brand. I have been the owner of production-level motorhomes where I am told to take the coach to one of the many different brand suppliers for the generator, the roof-mount air conditioners, the refrigerator, etc. I typically paid the one company to buy it but end up dealing with a half-dozen vendors to get things fixed. I hated having to bring my coach to a service provider who was not especially involved with motorhomes as few treated our coach with the same respect. I am looking to jump back into another coach (at this caliber), primarily for work, but I will use it for personal family events periodically. I am hesitant to look at coaches that force me to drive 2000+ miles (off the mileage limited warranties) to get something fixed factory right. So this is why your in-depth warranty coverage is so important.
Frank is the most active Owner of any converter company hands down, It really says a lot about liberty. When you see these coaches you know they are the best in the industry, Second to None. Just an amazing machine that they put together, from Dean Loucks paint to Kims Interior designs its just amazing.
Great video Andrew! Very informative ! Maybe in the future ! Thanks and be well and safe ! Liberty has some really great looking RV's. Love the exterior !!
Andrew Steele singlehandedly did more for rv industry including sales of used motor-home and new from anybody else in the business , reporting ,testing,driving different motor-home you getting wealth of knowledge that you can conway to people interested buying new or used RV. Motor home is very expensive and wrong decisions can cost very much . Thank you Andrew!
Great video; as always. Great to see these types of questions asked. I know that they don’t post prices but what would the price range be for the coach you showed ?
Hmmmmmm, I honestly don’t see much, if any differentiation between Liberty and a Marathon or a Featherlite and the rest. Everything he mentioned, the others do the exact same thing. No doubt Liberty is a premium coach converter but so is Marathon and Featherlite for that matter. I would say the only true innovator is Newell Coach as they build their coaches from the ground up rather than being a Prevost converter like all the rest. JMO.
You are pretty much spot on. Newell was formed to make a nicer conversion than Bluebird which at the time were school buses and made into motor homes. Bluebird eventually modernized their units but are no longer in business. We have a Wanderlodge.
@@DLTJR1959 Yep. All of them are beautiful high end quality coaches, no doubt. I just find it a bit disingenuous for any single Prevost converter to represent their conversion as having a remarkably better ride handling quality over any other Prevost converter considering they all utilize the exact same frame, undercarriage and powertrain etc. Then when compared to a Newell, a Prevost has a higher center of gravity - Period. As far as customer service and after sales service etc every single converter provides the same remote service options etc. This is not unique with Liberty. They all send service vehicles and techs to the major destinations Etc. I also find it misleading on how they present the lower HP and lower torque Volvo engine as being an overall advantage when compared with the Cummins. Completely ignoring the relationship between Volvo and Prevost and I’m sure, the mandated usage of the Volvo. The Cummins X-15 is a better power plant hands down. All the rest is subjective and a matter of personal preference. But clearly, Newell is unique. Chicago hustle at its finest. :/
@@stevest.martin3940 I don’t? I know enough that it takes more than a paint job to truly differentiate a common product. Deans paint is exquisite, no doubt. With this being said, he is far from the only talented painter that s painting coaches. So please tell us all just how different a Prevost chassis is after Liberty converts it as compared to a Marathon or Featherlite. Also considering that a Featherlite is actually lighter than a Liberty. Please tell us all. LOL. Oh and here are some crappy Marathon paint jobs. LMFAO th-cam.com/video/5Zyb-RAqgxQ/w-d-xo.html
@@stevest.martin3940 You should contact Featherlite and inform them that they don’t know high end coaches and how they are doing it wrong. LOL. th-cam.com/video/ZD0v4-0Sk1Y/w-d-xo.html
Question for Frank regarding the lifetime warranty on conversion parts. Would that include air leaks? Since so much of the coach has air compressor functions like the doors, slide outs, air bags etc. so many posts on Prevost sites on these issues on how hard leaks are to track down and repair. These are installed by them. Or is this a wear and tear type part like brakes or tires. Same question for plumbing leaks. Thanks
There was an interesting comment about coach owners not cooking in their coaches. I’m curious why people who own these kinds of units don’t tend to cook in them. Is their usage and camping profile that much different from us regular folks who like to camp in our RVs?
I don’t understand him saying no one ever uses the cooktop. Does that mean they go out to dinner every night for a month? I know you are filthy rich if you can afford one of these but never cooking in?
I do agree that liberty coach is one of the finest but I still don't see liberty is equipped with audio video power amp components like marathon coach or am I just not seeing it
These coaches are awesome but they will tell you anything to make a sale. You have a problem with it and they will give you the run around like every other dealer.
Why when Frank is showing us the circuit breaker do you show us Frank. Show us what he is trying to show us. Frank is a handsome guy but he gets enough face time.
Andrew, when he explaining something and he is showing you how it works, don't keep the camera on him, show what he is doing so we can see. Thanks again for the video.
Oh wow very disappointed at 15:28 just above the side lights... water spots on the chrome and a little dirty. lol Awesome coach and great interview Andrew.

In this day and age it’s good to see a company that is focused on customer service
No doubt you are paying for it - up front! Nearly $3 million for a bus, the expectation is VERY high.
Customer service is obviously a top priority for Liberty. Every one you show us is gorgeous, Andrew. Thank you.
Liberty understands their product, their network, their operations, and their customers. Kudos to them for standing behind their products when others fall short.
Great job Andrew. Every time I listen to Frank I want to buy a Liberty. Stand up guy !
I’m so impressed! Frank should be a model for all RV businesses. Such knowledge, he cares about his product, and truly this is a stunning coach!
Andrew, you’ve been in the top of the line Liberty and Newell Coach. They both top out over $2M.

I love the service aspect when you own a Liberty Coach.
Huge peace of mind knowing service/questions are only a phone call away.
Andrew, this was actually a very good video. You did a really good job interviewing Frank and the questions you asked and Frank's responses were very informative. When ever I pass by Liberty in Stuart, I find myself dreaming of the day I own one.
Another great video Andrew. I appreciate the slide out gennies in the Liberty units. Easier to service. Thanks again,

Liberty interiors are a league of their own, incredibly awesome!!!
These coaches and others too are truly massive pieces of art. Technically and visually.

Awesome, the best!
Great video.
Hey can you ask other RV manufactor of there warranty and I like this video
Nice but I'd still rather take and live in a Newell which is actually engineered from ground up as well as more spacious.
It seems that Liberty has done just the H chassis for the past few years. Do they still do the X chassis?
I don’t understand him saying no one ever uses the cooktop. Does that mean they go out to dinner every night for a month? I know you are filthy rich if you can afford one of these but never cooking in?
Do they build on the X3 chassis?
I do agree that liberty coach is one of the finest but I still don't see liberty is equipped with audio video power amp components like marathon coach or am I just not seeing it
These coaches are awesome but they will tell you anything to make a sale. You have a problem with it and they will give you the run around like every other dealer.
Charles, I have not had that problem. Have you personally? I have owned 3 Liberty coaches and they ALWAYS have taken care of me very well.
Are they more expensive than a Marathon ?
Cool hat Andrew, how can I get one?
I’m in love.
How Much??????
Why when Frank is showing us the circuit breaker do you show us Frank. Show us what he is trying to show us. Frank is a handsome guy but he gets enough face time.
What are the two things in the top corners of the windshield?
Than other coaches.
Do you have a service areas in Canada
Did I miss the bathroom?
Andrew, when he explaining something and he is showing you how it works, don't keep the camera on him, show what he is doing so we can see. Thanks again for the video.
OKH THANK YOU
How much was that coach? About 800k?
Oh wow very disappointed at 15:28 just above the side lights... water spots on the chrome and a little dirty. lol Awesome coach and great interview Andrew.
Who is cabbage ?
Than not then
Take the camera off the guys and show me the couch.
Audio is always most important. The cameras have directional mikes so as soon as I point the camera away, it kills the audio.
Paint job sells it live by marathon see them every day. Got nothing on that paint job.
THAN...NOT then...
These coaches and others too are truly massive pieces of art. Technically and visually.
