- We left for Florida for 2 weeks. After just a week there, my mother got a cold and we had her get tested and she was positive. After long discussions, we thought we better head home in case we got it too and couldn't drive home - this video is of our quick journey back home to Indiana.

Being able to see the USA in total comfort! That’s for us!
We love it. We are planing a trip to Panama for spring break, Yellowstone over the summer, New York and gonna try to make Mackinac as well, besides a lot of weekend trips.
So sorry to hear about your mother hope she is doing well 🙏 for her and your family stay safe.
Thank you - so far she just has a head cold - waiting to see what we get....
LMAO " I had to stop filming so she could scream at me" you had me dying
Can’t make that stuff up! Lol
Thanks for another driving down the road video. Praying for Mom and that the rest of you are well.
Its always good to have a backup driver, just in case something happens. Its always go to have the family learn how everything works and what is needed to get the H3-45 Prevost ready for a trip and how to hook up everything.
The back up driver had her back up and didn't want to get hooked up to anything.
Hope all the way are healthy, doing well, and going to have fun on the way back from Florida to Indiana.
Thanks - we all got CV - finally doing better - wear a mask, that stuff is terrible.
That is traveling in style. What a nice bus thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and the kind comment!
This is great. So much personality for each one of you!
Thank you!
Another great video! Thank you!
Your channel came up as Recommended. We're happy that we had a chance to see the video. The video was very well done. Nice Prevost.
Thanks for watching. RV is in storage but more videos will follow
I love how open the interior is without slides. You definitly get better fuel mileage then we do. We have a 2006 42' Monaco Dynasty. Towing the car we get 7.5 mpg. One thing I really like is that plastic cap over the air break. We have a kitten that is almost grown. She bounces everywhere. It scars me that she is going to deactivate the brakes during the night.
I am amazed at how quiet your coach is, my Newmar is twice as noisy. Your wife is exactly like mine and when she’s in a bad mood she lets me know and everybody around me to lol
I bought a 1992 marathon xl this year as well I live in Indiana I have it winterize now could not find storage that they didn't want a arm and leg for ! I am so glad there is finally a prevost camping you tube channel that shows your day to day content! They have a lot of systems that I will be trying to figure out! But anyway great videos look forward to more !
Love the TSD card. Sorry about your Mom. Hope she feels better.
Another great video and typical family road trip, I see your wife was not having this trip but she was handling that coach you go girl!
Wow that looks like a nice rig! We Have an older Newmar but it's gas and only 33ft. There is just the two of us so we don't need it any bigger, It has one big slide which gives us tons of room.
Enjoyed your video and I hope you all stay well. Covid has stopped us from going south this year to Florida but next year we hope to return to spend our winter in Florida. Bye for now.
This is one gorgeous coach, it's not a new one but I would love this own this one. It's well kept and runs smooth.
What year is this Prevost coach
Its a 2000
Great video, you have a beautiful family, your youngest is for sure a daddy's girl. I hope everybody is okay!
Thanks for the nice comment - she sure is! We made it through ok, it took me about 3 weeks to stop having symptoms though. My wife and oldest are shy and don't want to be filmed - I will do a better job in future videos - I guess it came across bad - if you know us it was funny. Thanks again!
so sorry to about your mom...what an amazing road trip from my eyes!!! Hope to see yall on the road next year. im looking at an XL tomorrow with inspections.....yeee hawww
Thanks! Don't drive it until your ready to buy! I think the XL's are so classy! Good luck!
Adorable family time. Hope you guys had fun ^_^
Very nice coach and you are to nice to be puting up with that
Thanks
That is an awesome coach. Even in the video it looks like it rides smooth down the road. I really like all the big windows too.
I would have loved to travel in a coach when I was young. So I much room and space. Not to mention a Prevost.
Its nice so far - I got to ride in it 2hrs this trip!
@@CampPrevost I'd like to ride in ours so I can just go around and listen and find anything that makes a noise. My wife hasn't driven it yet. I use the TSD card as well but my tank is only 125 gallons. You have a HUGE tank but going a good distance on half is awesome. Hope you all are healthy and doing well.
I just started watching your beautiful family in your travels. You and your wife relate just like me and my husband. You both had me in stitches with your exchange. That salty look your wife gave you, my husband knows that look very well.
Love you guys. Keep in filming. Love the content.
Thanks for the comment! I get that look one to many times but it’s probably warranted for sure!
Cool adventure!
Thanks
You got exposed but hopefully you are not positive. Hope your mother is OK. I was exposed month and a half ago and tested negative. Hope you have safe travels back up north. Love your Prevost. We have the TSD card too. Great savings. Truck stops are easy to get in and out of. Our Wanderlodge holds 200 gallons. Usually try to get fuel at the 1/2 mark to 1/4 mark. It's not an inexpensive proposition. Thanks again. Appreciate your content.
New subscriber. Excellent video! I hope to buy a Class A in about 6 yrs when I retire. Happy New Year!
So sorry that it all turn out the way it did.. Christmas to remember. And talk about. Every Christmas to come. Hope Grandma is well, and she well be with next year.
What a awesome awesome Coach you have. RING is what you make of it, you can see so much or as little as you want. I always laugh when the kids were working one another over and not see something going down the road if you were at home you would be doing the same, fighting hahahaha and seeing NOTHING. so have a great Season Holiday. Hey little one keep on videoing excellent job
RVIng is the word but phone doesn't like
Thank you! Your right - it is what you make of it. We will remember this one for some time :)
beautiful family you are all very blessed / Im going to subscribe /Merry Christmass & Happy New Year
thanks for the kind words!
Nice rig and gave a like.
Getting yelled at by your wife brought back memories 🤣. Great video.
I Have an older VanHool that I converted into in an RV because I couldn't find a bus or RV in my price range that had an actual Bunk Room for the kids or guests. I almost went with a Prevost but the bottom bays weren't tall enough to hold my motorcycle and adventure toys. I love how clean your bus is, inside and out and it looks like it drives like a dream. For your next trip I recommend getting the app GetUpside for fuel. you may have to go to a smaller gas station which can get a little tricky with cars in the way but totally worth it. saving $50+ for each tank isn't much at first but it adds up quickly. Hope your mom is doing better and glad you guys made it home safely.
The TSD program saved me $113 on that fill up and I can find stations along my route - its just like gas buddy if you have ever used that.
Beautiful family 👍👍👍👍
You got a like from me after the “she take after her mother comment” - I am a girl dad too totally understand! I’m enjoying your journey. A prevost is a goal of mine!
Thanks for the comment! Trying to have fun with them while we can - life is way to short!
Love "The Look"
Thanks for sharing your road trip! Happy New Years n hope your mom gets better! #newlysubscribed!
At 9:36 min, she’s just adorable. Sorry mom was sick. I’m in the market for a used class A, good content here.
Y'all are so beautiful I'm going to be enjoying my Silver Eagle motor coach next year Going to visit Florida stay safe and stay healthy Y'all
seems like a lot of tension --- I'd just lay down and take a nap
I love your coach. I see many with so much unnecessary complexity and over decorated. If I could find one like this I would buy it!!
that's what I wanted to - simplicity - to many things to go wrong when there is a button for everything. This one is bad enough but I feel like I can handle most issues.
Take a look at 5:17 while the cord in retracting it's rubbing on the lower part of the entry port causing some rubber to fray off.
You are correct - I usually lift the cord on the way in - just ran out of hands.
Great video, Ive had a used XLII (our is a used Hemphill star coach w/ three bunks for the kids and the cats) and I never have gotten to experience what you did from 10:00 till 13:45 (I have never been a passenger in my coach) We call our Prevost the Family Truckster, kids nowadays have no idea how fortunate they are to have one of these (or any RV) land behemoths for traveling , family is what its all about, spent may trips up and down I-75 to the Sunshine state, put a small spray of WD-40 or some type of silicone around the chrome bezel edge of your retractable AC cable so you don't fray that cord to much. At some point I need to consider trading for an H3-45 the bays are just huge
I think the XL’s are pretty classy! Splitting hairs for sure!
Please post more trip videos, thank you.
I have one taking a trip to Bradenton coming up. Been busy, my basement got wet so it took priority. Going to try for this Friday. Thanks for watching!
Hello from Norway and thanks for the video which I appreciated a lot as it shows natural daily life in a camper! I'm afraid your rig would be banned here, it's to big for our roads!
It’s almost to big for ours!
That was nice to clean up the coach
Thanks
Directions might work well to go to Florida in about 2 to 3 weeks approximately.
Nice Prevost
Wewww
Momma isnt happy
Not at all.
But she does a great job driving 🚗
Beautiful Rv. We had covid in the house for Christmas. So we were in quarantine to🙁Hope your next trip is a better one. Hope your Mom gets better quick. Prayers for her.
thanks - appreciate the comment.
Just joined your channel 👍
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Great video are you guys in the Tampa area?? the park looks like my Inlaws summer home.
Bradenton - just a couple miles
WOW ! your rig is beautiful . How old is it & are y'all fulltime RV'ers ?
It’s a 2000, no we just do this for fun and travel. My wife hates to fly so we drive everywhere - this just makes it better :)
Nice video. Nice kids. Nice dogs. Nice husband. What's with the wife? First time viewer. Very good editing and content.
Right I thought the same way to Connie.
I think she’s exhausted...possibly has COVID. Give her a break... I’m with her, put the camera down & actually be helpful guiding her starting the beast! There’s a lot of steps & he was not helpful!
We just lost our only 2 week vacation in '20 due to CV, she is intimidated by the size of the RV and didn't want to be filmed - was a train wreck. My oldest doesn't want to be filmed either - will leave the future videos to my youngest and myself. We all tested positive, just now feeling better.
Hey you might want to watch rving with Andrew Steele he talks about different RVs and he tells you how much they are worth. Also you might want to check out Brian’s rv videos he works for Country coach RV and he can Show you how to check your rv. If you ever decide on changing the paint of the rv reach out to dean loucks he is also on TH-cam with the other people I just mention. But he actually paint RVs professionally in his shop in Elkhart Indiana
If you fuel on the other side you won't get the fuel smell inside
In Volusia County we got down to 32 for a few hours but 70 now Sunday 12-27 at 4pm. Hope your mom recovers well . Safe travels!
Good choice to pass Atlanta at night cuz it gets ugly
It’s funny to hear you calling your luxury RV a “camper”. Great vids though. Keep up the good work.
Was going to subscribe but I’m afraid your wife is looking for a Lawyer. You seem like a really nice person though.
Yeah, probably shouldn't have filmed her 2nd time driving. Its a bit intimidating and she doesn't know what all the things do yet - and - she didn't want to be filmed - train wreck.
Well I wanted to see what these busses are actually like on the highway, noise, ride, comfort level etc. I was surprised at the noise level at the rear, I thought it would have been much quieter - maybe it was the microphone picking it up. The stereo sound was excellent. The ride seems so smooth - like floating on air - actually, it is!!! I was also surprised the tag wheel did not lift during that tight corner to save rubber.
Wifey poo wasn't too thrilled. I think it might be qood idea to have her taught by a professional for 3-4 hours. She would learn a great deal, be far more comfortable and enjoy the ride more. I only suspect that leaving was not an enjoyable moment and was sad.
At the end of the day, is it really worth owning a bus? This is a huge investment - your thoughts . . .
Yeah - the very back is a little noisy - but figuring it has a 12.7L 550hp, 1650 torque Detroit diesel semi engine in it running at 85-90% pushing a 50klb load - it’s not really that’s bad :). I never lifted the tag until about a year after this video - wanted prevost to green light it first before I ruined something. Wife was upset (we all were) to say the least. We took 2 weeks off to stay there and had to leave Christmas morning and come home to 5-7 days of hell. The Christmas spirit kinda went away. As for owning the bus - this is our 3rd RV and it’s hands down the best traveling vehicle out there - there is a reason just the Prevost rolling chassis is $800k before the conversion. I will admit it’s a little overkill to use as a camper at state parks and little short runs but we got it to travel across the states. Been to Florida 5 times, Mackinac island, New England area, Arkansas and then did a loop hitting Yellowstone and back (bunch of places in between). For that it’s perfect and couldn’t imagine anything else and I have had a Tiffin and super C. Now that we have hit most of the US, we are thinking of selling to let someone else enjoy it. To big for just a few little trips - love it though.
@@CampPrevost Just for fun, I took a look at a new Tiffen. In comparison to a Prevost or MCI conversion, I wouldn't touch it unless it was the only option. Busses are great. Make for rider comfort and safety. But then again, you need lots of $$$. Noise, I've seen engine rooms with sound deadening, concrete floors, lead etc. big improvement. And of course today's motors are much quieter anyway.
Prayers for you all and your mother. Maybe try to have your wife involved with filming a bit more. It could lessen the stares of doom. ;)
I think it might help - she doesn’t really want me to film anything....
Looking at getting a prevost I noticed yours seem to raddle a lot is that normal and when you wen to the back you could really here the humming noise of the tires do you like your Prevost
Not sure. It’s 20 years old, gonna have something make a noise. It’s really not bad inside, I think on the passenger side by the dinette, it sounds like something needs tightened / think it may be the awning or something outside... the engine is loud in the back for sure, there are 6 tires back there too. They are not perfect but drive nice. I would say it’s probably more for traveling then old fashioned camping - we will see this summer. Going to take it camping when the weather turns. We weren’t going to make a purchase till spring but this one came along and we liked the inside. I like the full size fridge, large kitchen, large shower, long range, large water capacity (160gallons). It doesn’t have two bedrooms though (super C did) and miss a screen door on the front. There is also a lot more going on with it, just more things to keep up with. It uses air for a lot of things too, toilet, back up camera door, tag axle lift, steering assist, rear air bag belt tensioners. I have a small leak somewhere - gotta chase that down next. Go look at few and drive them - compare to other class A’s. Might work, might not.
Life is rough in a Prevost. 😅😉.
It sure is :). I have actually been having some problems with it - electrical, air, leak in the window - so its been nerve racking for me. I am going to make a video of everything wrong with it soon - we are having another ice storm today though. Might be a few more weeks....
@@CampPrevost There are good forums for maintenance help out there that I’m sure you’ve found already. I think you found a new hobby. 😉. I have been watching a channel called Johnson Aviation. (I think). He does quite a bit of his own work on his bus. It’s a great looking coach for sure. I hope you have many happy years with it.
@@ashleymarks6144 thank you - I actually stumbled upon his channel the other day (wish I had his hanger!). I will be making videos on my repairs, I have all the service manuals and am ready to go. Anything I don't want to handle, I found a shop not far from me that will work on it (actually a luxury travel center that does their own maintenance on Prevost) - I will try to video their work on it as well. There isn't much on the web - trying to bring more content - it is a hobby for sure!
@@CampPrevost I've been watching a lot of videos on coaches lately and one thing they all seem to have is issues. it just seems to be part of the experience. get lots of tools and learn your coach, which it appears that you already have.
Was that an evil Chucky Doll in the back closet on top of everything?
I saw that doll when putting these clips together - scared me, I don't remember it coming with us..... :)
How far can you go from a full tank to about a quarter of a tank?
It’s a 265 gallon tank, I get about 6.5 to 7 mpg. So almost 1,300 miles - crazy!
How long were you in Florida???
We were there for 5 days, originally were going to stay for 2 weeks. Think we got CV-19 and didn't want to drive that far with symptoms - so we left asap.
Looks like your getting used to driving it now.
yep - you'll have to come on the next trip and try it yourself!
So................what was the outcome? Best wishes Thomyt
stay tuned! we all ended up with CV19 - still working to get over it... new videos will be out soon
Hope all of you are healthy, COVID can suck the life out of you (literally & figuratively). My Hubs & I had it & he was almost bad enough to be hospitalized but I was with him so he stayed home. I had mild symptoms but it has been a struggle breathing since November when we had it.
I hope your wife (missed names) is feeling better & I was with her...stop filming & be helpful! She gave you a kinder look than I would’ve! 😁
I was quite concerned with a few safety issues, the girls not buckling up, dog on lap while driving, casually walking through the rig, this video is almost a “what not to do” video. Oh, and be kinder to your wife & daughter. I’ll let you figure out where you slipped up with them.
It was bad for me, just now feeling better. Probably not going to film her driving anymore, she didn't want to be on film anyway. Wonder how many Class A, B, C and Super C owners actually stay seat belted in while traveling - I'm thinking 5% :).
I'm glad you and your family are feeling better now and that you are the lucky ones who didn't end up hospitalized or left your children without parents. I simply cannot understand for the life of me, why.. for just ONE Christmas, people can't stay home. FFS. I'd would have loved to taken my kid to see the grandparents over Christmas. But you know what? WE STAYED HOME. **THIS** is why you social distance, people. THIS is why the government is begging people to mask up and social distance. It's a small sacrifice to make in order to stay alive and not to spread it to others.
we did good for 9 months - made a non stop trip to see my mother and we think we got it in a car going to a park... still can't believe it
I'd like to know where to get the fuel card you mentioned. Couldn't understand the name of the company that issues the card.
It sounded like TSD Fuel Card.
@@winebox Doesn't ring a bell with me. Not any brand I'm familiar with.
@@davidhughes1702 It's probably a commercial card that truckers use and is prepay so he can use the trucks top commercial pumps.
@@winebox I'll check into it.

Sorry about the negative comments you’ve gotten on this video. Maybe people don’t realize this was Christmas morning and you had to leave because of your mother getting covid? Also it was immediately after the bombing in Nashville! I wouldn’t have been in the best of moods either. Glad you all
made it home safe and I pray your mom and all of you are healthy. BTW, your Prevost is absolutely breathtaking 👍👍
Thank you - that’s what I’m hoping... we had 2 weeks planned there and had to leave Christmas morning because we had CV, we were all pretty bummed! - made it home Sat evening and started a fever - been rough 2 weeks. Thanks for the comment - got the bus in storage for a few months - will get her out and make some more videos soon! Thanks again!
What year is your prevost
Its a 2000
You also forgot to put the levellow in drive... nice looking 20 year old H....
Thanks! When the levellow is not in drive it lets me know! (beeps loud)
Can you say how much you paid for your Prevost?
Less than $200k :)
Not sure about the wife, but the kids are cute and well behaved young ladies. Maybe your wife would have wanted to spend xmas with some of her other family also? just thinkin'. Nice video anyway. Happy Holidays to you and the family!!!
We lost our vacations in mid '20 and then finally booked 2 weeks over Christmas. Then we had to cancel a few days in and hurry home to beat CV symptoms - sucked - none of us were very happy! We all ended up with it and just now feeling better - wear a mask or get the vaccine - that stuff sucks.
This Virus came out earlier than they claim. My wife and I went to Fl. 05-2019 and came down with a nasty Virus, there was nothing that could be done for us, we had to ride it out for 9 days, we didn't do anything, Fever, Chills, Aches, difficulty keeping food down, trouble breathing. This was the Virus and we are still alive and kicking. I still would like to know How many people Died from the Flu in 2020! I haven't seen any numbers at all, this is why I have difficulty believing anything put out by the media or network tv, it is all scare tactics and it seems that you are believing the news media. Check and see how many died from the Flu in 2018, 2019, then tell what was bad! They are both BAD but the Virus seems to serve the Politicians and Medical Communitys needs to fill the hospitals pockets with tax payer's money! Now we have a JackAss that wants to give away the Country! Good luck.
@@mikemakuch2824 sounds like you had it! I am afraid of the after effects - a friend ended up having to have a portion of their intestine removed from inflammation and another developed blood clots in their lungs. Seems like it will come in, create havoc and leave - its the what did it do to me that is freaking me out. Glad you made it through!
@@CampPrevost I would not take the vaccine. The flu is never fun. You survived and you'll be fine. All my life (70), I and my family have survived flu. My son had asthma and that would always flare up when he was getting over any virus.
No worse than any other flu, I should know, my whole family had it!
Mom needs training to make her feel comfortable, safely operate the coach and, stop the children flying through the windshield. 🤭😉
Dad needs training to clearly explain things to others whilst not not making mom feel belittled and, make the children safe whilst travelling instead of focusing on You Tube videos. 😬😳😂
And for our next video, selling the r.v. 😳🤣😂.
I hope you guys work it out, mom may need to drive should dad be unwell etc... 🤔🤗
Agree! :)
You are so excited about your RV but wife not so excited about filming. If you are seen with your dog in your lap while driving, is that not an accident waiting to happen? Walking around inside while moving, is that not dangerous? Mother tested positive to COVID, should you not be tested and isolate in the RV? Ditch the wife and find someone who shares your interest in the RV and enjoy your travels. Maybe there's a personality switch for the wife.
She does fine, just not on film - same with the oldest daughter. Will have to leave the future videos to the youngest and myself. We learned about the positive test and loaded up and drove home a few days into our 2 week vacation. We all tested positive and just now feeling better - that stuff is real.
@@CampPrevost I am so sorry to hear that you all tested positive. I hope you all are able to enjoy your holiday in the future with your mother. I understand about your wife not being happy on camera and I think that must be a female trait. Thank you for your reply to my rather harsh comment.
I’m female so no one can say “figures, a guy would say that”. Your wife is an awful, unhappy person. I feel bad for you. If she hates it this much, leave her home, take your kids and have a good time yourselves. Those kids are already miserable and take after her. Damn, you seem like a nice guy.
Thanks but I probably should have just cut that out. Its intimidating to say the least and she didn't want to be filmed - was a train wreck. My oldest doesn't want to be on film either. Will leave it to my youngest and I from now on. We also lost most of our only vacation in '20, we were all pretty bummed to go back home. Glad we did, I was out for 2.5 weeks starting the night we got home.
Lori, Your observations are unhelpful and most likely inaccurate since they are based on what...a 10 minute slice of life with no context? How can you say the kids are miserable? You know NOTHING about this family and their personalities. Family life is complicated and if a video is awkward, then so be it. The moment will pass.
@@ashleymarks6144 thank you.
Thought about subscribing but your wife ruined the interest for me. She was miserable and sad to say has rubbed off on children. It was Christmas, and as a mom, wife, we smile when we don’t always feel like it, we laugh through difficult times, we make a bad situation good, for our family, if nothing else. Her lack of support, just made me sad. Fortunate to have each other, is most important, but to be grateful for that and have the experience many others don’t have, and not be able to see it is awful. Kids weren’t even grateful they had Christmas gifts. I’m a Foodbank and shelter volunteer, and there is a downside to things in life, and you all are not on that side. Not always happy, happy, joy, joy, but she appears to be miserable. Might behoove you, as the man of the family, to make it a family effort to spend a holiday doing for others. No one is perfect, but I hope mom gets well soon and things get better for your family.
Yeah I shouldn't have filmed her or included it in this video - its pretty intimidating to drive and she didn't want to be filmed - ended up a train wreck. All of us lost our vacation plans this summer and looked forward to our only 2 weeks off in FL - then had to drive home a few days into it. Glad we did, I was out for 2.5 weeks, would have never been able to get home. My oldest daughter doesn't want to be filmed either - I will leave them out in future videos. I know the story behind the scenes but it appears different on video then what it really is. We did build 2 Little Free Pantry's to help with community food issues and help Plarn at home to build mats for those in need.
wow man that is one moody women you have there .. how do you put up with her acting younger than the children lol
She was intimidated driving and didn’t want filmed. It was a bad snap shot of time.
I’m not sure why women get so moody? Always kind of drove me nuts as I’m sure it does many husbands.
That's their nature, can't do with them, can't do without them, just love them is all one can do. Ha!
Fear driven. Sad
France
Thanks for watching
