Thanks James... a 40' Prevost would be my preferred choice of bus. Lucky me, we happen to be in Phoenix today and I will try to see this coach in person at Premium.
I drove bus in the 80s flew back to quebec to bring a prevost back to Marathon, they were all 40ft back then, don't know when they started the 45s but they were a joy to drive.
That is a well-maintained bus, standing the test of time, even the paint scheme has maintained its classic beauty. Kudos to the previous/current owner. Thanks for the tour James!
40 footers, better fuel mileage, better turning radius, go in more places 45 footers can’t. Nice coach. But where was the washer/dryer located. I did see the switch for it in the electric panel in the bedroom.
Yup, the early 2000's 40' XLII is my dream bus! In most States' licensing laws, you can drive up to a 40' RV with no special licensing requirements! In California, a normal Class C License will suffice! As soon as you go over 40', you need a non-commercial Class B.
James I almost fall from my seat when I read "SHORT" Prevost 😂 . I was so exited thinking could move up the ladder to luxury. Then you drop the bomb "42" 💔 yeah time to get 😥. It's really nice. Thanks for the tour.
I was very impressed with your excellent video James. You always open my eyes to the possibilities of a non slider bus conversion and it’s ease of use. I like the older motorhomes as I feel that they were built better provided they have been cared for. I love the real stone throughout as it’s timeless and strong. Not a great deal of space in the bedroom but I’m a slim 5’2 😉 I have looked for the price however it’s not yet available. Thanks for the journey around the coach. My only complaint is that more motorhomes should embrace the future by installing solar panels in every space possible. It’s not just a gadget it’s the new way of life and provides more power and helps our climate crisis. See you soon I hope 🤞🏼 💕💫
With a 29 KW gen Set and an all electric coach why waste money on solar that will not run the ACS or the 4K watt plus or minus inverter. If you are so concerned with “saving the planet” that is going to be destroyed by nukes anyway, then buy a bicycle and carry a sleeping bag in your back pack. 😂🤣
@@terrysmith2233 It’s appalling to see the complete lack of respect for our planet. If everyone made the decision to follow the science rather then the misinformation we could stand a chance but as you clearly demonstrate your understanding is both plagiarism and complete lack of knowledge. Terry you might want to see the world as it was 50 plus years ago however it’s no longer a reality. Your remarks are useful to demonstrate why climate change is not a priority for people who follow politicians rather than science.
If you don't like something that someone posts--it's ok to just scroll past. Your day will go on. And she is right--more solar panels are the way to go--who doesn't like free energy?
If I should ever win the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, I would love one of these for my dog obedience trials but I am not so sure my neighbors would enjoy staring at the side of a bus. It would be too large even for the extra side part of my driveway. A person can dream. I would prefer no slide out myself. As my dear late Dad would say, one more thing to malfunction. He resisted automatic windows on his vehicles until he couldn't anymore without buying a very old gas guzzler.
Hello. One day I hope we will be looking for 40 foot bus that we can covert. I am slightly frightened that you keep saying : rare. How rare are those to find ? I really like to see these busses to know what I like and do not. I also learn so much. Thanks 👍
Most the Prevost conversations were 40’ long intill they put in the inline 6 cylinder Series 60 Detroits. Then most were 40’ but there are quite a few 40’ers as I have had several. Watch out for the 2001 and newer Prevista that have the non riveted sidewalls that come unglued and are very expensive to replace, reseal, and repaint.
Why do so many people use and like Dicor since it shrinks, dries and cracks? Wouldn't folks be better off using AFCAT sealant cuz it doesn't shrink, dry and crack so easily?
GOES TO SHOW THE COUNTRY COACH ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT MAKES REALLY NICE COACHES AND I DON'T KNOW IF VISIONS STILL IN BUSINESS WE KNOW COUNTRY COACH ISN'T
No, Vision is not still in Business. They only made a few coaches. I had one and they were built one at a time with a very small crew. Very few were built.
Yes, also less chance of leaks. While I own a class c with 2 slides, that can still be used totally, even with the slides in. I'd love to own something like this, with no slides.
I have a question, have you ever looked over a 1993 Holiday Rambler Navigator, I've got a clean one spotted, it has a 180K on the odometer, few little things wrong but, they all do. What is your take on that particular model?
IF you are going to spray that crap on your roof, why not at least mask it off first. Looks bad but it wouldn't stop me from buying it lol. Would remove the Flexseal overspray.
That is a very nice looking coach, the owner cared for her well. Thank you for your time doing these videos Sir. Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks for watching! :)

You're welcome and good luck!
How can you get up on a white roof in complete sunlight without sunglasses?!? OMG, you are brave man!!! BRAVO!!!
My retinas have been seared
A good friend (now passed away) had a 35' Prevost -- Wife and I have a 40' MCI -- love those old coaches.
Vintage is a gem, really
I just love that Coach -I love seeing how they have no slides but yet so livable 😄🚌🇺🇸
Thanks for watching! :)
I like it. Pride of ownership. Thanks James for showing us this good looking coach. Happy trails!

It sure is!
I love that one. A lot of nice aneneties on it.

Sweet....really well kept for a 19 yr old coach. Hello James from Fresno Ca.
Thanks for watching! :)
40 footers, better fuel mileage, better turning radius, go in more places 45 footers can’t.
Nice coach. But where was the washer/dryer located. I did see the switch for it in the electric panel in the bedroom.

Other than all that gold hardware, that's a beautiful bus.
Gold is back in

❤it! Awesome video as always!
Yay, thank you!
Great video love watching these
Thanks for watching! :)
Those nightstands are a good size! I'm always amazed by how small some of them are.
You are easily amazed.
Some are barely a shelf!
You can scroll on by---you don't have to leave snarky comments like this. How does this improve anyone's day?
@@AZExpert Who are the poor saps that are the object of your unsolicited lecture?. Are they always free?
Really nice coach. Thanks for video. You left out I told you not to call me here. LOL 😂
Next time!
Nice Bus, Thanks James.
Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you James for another great video.

Yes ! Very nice !
Glad you like it!
Great review
Thanks for watching! :)
Really appreciate you showing your point-by-point process! Definitely helps to build my knowledge-base about things I need to look for.
Thanks for watching!
flawless bus ..i herd of campsites sayen no buses how could you turn that away?
I really liked the coach but would be better if it had those slide outs. I always love your videos thanks so much for sharing !
Some people like them, some dont
Nice bus
Thanks for watching! :)
It's a TINYBUS mannnnnn! Just like a TINYHOUSE! It's a TINYWORLD mannnnn! 😱🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸

I love it. I wish I knew the price. The rig’s not listed on their website.
I don't think they have listed it yet but soon hopefully.
so do you know when prevost stopped making the 40’ers?
great looking bus no idea they can be ordered shorter than 45
Its uncommon
Hey buddy I noticed it didn't have a washer and dryer it's a nice coach though
James. You've always extolled the virtues of bus chassis air. Why would they have used rooftop air units ?
Basement and bus air have disadvantages too, on a short bus with limited basement bus air would take over half the basement storage

Great video! Thank you. I have asked for info about this coach!
Glad it was helpful!
@@AZExpert The darn this was already sold!! Dang!!
Very cool 😎
Thanks for watching! :)
Pretty nice coach, except for the Mr. T gold decor.
Gold is back in
Did I miss the washer/dryer ?
James, how do I book an appointment? I have a 07 Dutch star, needs hvac thermostat upgrade, and roof checked/ repaired..
Hi Tony! I'm not currently taking on any new jobs
What is the shiny surfaces on the outside. Chrome, polished Aluminum, or polished Stainless? Thanks, incredibly good shape.
You prefer no slides because of maintenance or cost to repair?
Yes, also less chance of leaks. While I own a class c with 2 slides, that can still be used totally, even with the slides in. I'd love to own something like this, with no slides.
yes also it removes the rigidity of the sides of the coach
All valid points here

Is this still for sale. Very interested Please let me know
Hello, I am wanting to know if you know anyone that works on Aladdin sys. ?
Beautiful as they get. The age shows NOT!
Class is pretty ageless as long as someone takes care of it
Hi, could you help check your inbox about the product sponsorship?
I go through emails as fast I can, thanks
Not sure I would want a 40ft Prevo with no slides! A 45ft with no slides already feels tight!
Thanks for watching! :)
Reply back I like the 40 ft bus on this video.
👍🏽
