Thank you for sharing this Andrew!! Looks like a lot of capability for the buck! I guess I'd definitely want to ensure the mechanical reliability is there; these comments about updating and modernizing interior stuff could wait, if it were me buying this.
I like the colors inside. Actually I like the paint job outside too. In the end I think you would be buying $99,000 worth of problems. You can see wear and tear on the outside, some of which could be a red flag for water damage. Buyers beware. I can only look myself and I do appreciate that opportunity. I sure do love the thought of this type of, "camping". lol
Andrew your Awesome, I love the videos!!!! I’m a Prevost bus conversion enthusiast, keep them coming. Been to Tucson AZ in Feb almost went to Gilbert AZ to look at those coaches but couldn’t talk my wife into going😒
Watch out for all of the underlying issues Premium Coaches have. Best advice is to have it independently inspected. We bought from them and are still working out all of the issues
Andrew, you truly do a spectacular job putting your videos together. Keep up the great work and ignore all of the haters. I am 57 and my wife 52 and we can’t wait to join this RV lifestyle and you are a huge reason we will be pursuing this. Thanks for sharing your life style and RV opportunities with us and all of your viewers!
Wow for the age of the RV it's in definitely beautiful condition! Someone probably paid some serious $$$$ for that when it was brand new. Looks like the owners took great care of it and for the price of $99,000 it's some serious bang for your buck! - bloggin brandi
Well, that's NOT bad at all for $99k! However, a few upgrades in the interior wouldn't hurt but, overall I would DEFINITELY invest in this one right here if I was in the market for such a unit!👌🏾👍🏾❤💯
A lot of these coaches are pristine in appearance. The mechanical issues are what will kill you financially. I follow several sites and they all tend to gloss over the engine/transmission and focus on amenities. The 8V92 Detroit is an expensive motor to fix and maintain.
I'd be more worried about the suspension. Those old 2 stroke Detroit Diesel engines are easy to work on. The suspensions are a pain in the ass to work on, on any big heavy machinery like that. I maintain my own bus myself, so I know.
@@therealjayseh You have the ability to do your own maintenance, and that's crucial. I'd love to own one of these, but I don't have the skill set or necessary tools and equipment.
@@wallochdm1 if you're not driving all over with it loaded down with people and cargo, you can get a gas class A, will work just fine. Especially the new ones. The new Ford chassis is really nice. It's gas engine, has airbags, 26,000 lbs maximum load chassis.
Nice paint, well taken care of, but not surprised it's $99k, it IS a 40', 27yr old, no-slide, coach .... seems only updates were on items that normally wear over time anyway...at least it wasn't abused and tore up like many I've looked at from the 90's...
*That is a late 90's coach... If you buy it negotiate a RE-CAP with a 2019 CAP and get a new paint job for them. Then take it and have the VIN# changed to 2019.*
@@diy-mitch-vlogs Ya but your not spending $99K on it are you? to many things outdated and ready to break. Pass but the paint is the nicest part of that coach.
Nice looking coach. First upgrade would be a two piece windshield and get some nice led head/tail lights installed. Just a little to make it look more modern.
Ha-ha....a "steal"...right up to the time you have to dump $50k into the drive train and another $25k into deferred maintenance of the coach systems. Figure on about $100K to get the interior out of its 1990s vibe. I love how people can proclaim "its a steal!" without getting within 1,000 miles of a coach that is almost 3 decades old and has been sitting for years.... Funny stuff!
Add the cost of a new interior plus electronics upgrade and go looking for other couches in that price range. chassis don’t go bad and the drive line is always repairable.
That KW was a cab-over with a sleeper. A 1968 that cost me a whopping $18,000. Brand new, powered by 8v71 (318). Plus I bought 2 Trailmobile 28’ trailers to go with the it.
@@dannysdailys not in the 70s I had a twin turbo 8V92 in a freightliner cabover it pulled pretty good but loved to leak oil from about 100k miles on I traded in 1978 for a pete with a KT600 you couldn't beat it I put over a million miles never leaked a drop heck of a motor loved a cummins from then on all that truck did was make money never broke once
I have noticed RV parks asking the year of my rig. They are not registering RV’s that are more than 10 years old. That might apply to this but it is an issue I am running into. Just FYI These are not off road dry camping units.
@@timholmes_actor9978 didn't know they were that much in '93, what would it be today $1.5 or so... I used to drive past the place twice a day on I-5 and wish I was in one...
The bus with nothing inside was probably around $300,000 to $400,000. The engine and transmission alone were over 50,000. These were built to transport people and luggage all day 24/7/365 for 10 years plus without major failure. The wheels and tires were probably 10-20,000 alone. A yellow school bus with a rear engine diesel and rear AC was 100,000 back then. Comparing this to a school bus is like comparing a gocart to a Corvette.
Andrew:. Appreciate all the videos for newbies like me. I'm looking for a riveted non-slide coach for $100k or less. Any ideas on where to start looking?
I think it is flashier than many/most newer ones. The outside paint is awesome but I prefer lots of stainless! The inside would be better with more black and less white.
It would be a great poolside Casita or guest house for many homes backyards!!!. I've been in numerous buses in my life, some of them smell like booze, drugs, pets, vomit residue, and urine. I think a lot of these party buses have been used for chauffeurs services for parties. I see a lot of these luxury Party buses passing between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and you can just tell they're just giant party buses. Also, some of the windows on these party buses, are used for mooning other cars, during bumper to bumper traffic across the desert freeways, during peak traffic holiday weekends. Know guns/hoses ( police-firemen groups) are prime mooners when they gather for parties on the Colorado Rivers.
I love the paint. Interior is so so. 180k miles on the old 8V92 2 stroke Detroit Diesel is worrisome. Price should be $60k or less depending on its mx history. DiD I say "I LOVE THE PAINT"?
A couple of sheets of laminate or even plasticoat would do wonders. For 100k, that's an absolute steal! Considering a 'modern' camper with fancy doo das and only sleeps 2 to 4 people will set you back about 100k. Remember I seen a 2 birth off roader for like 260k. It's a great concept having an RV coach but this kind of limits you to where you can stay. Still though, if I could I would.
Thank you for sharing this Andrew!! Looks like a lot of capability for the buck! I guess I'd definitely want to ensure the mechanical reliability is there; these comments about updating and modernizing interior stuff could wait, if it were me buying this.
The inside looks like it's stuck somewhere between the late 70s and early 80s......I honestly thought the bedroom was going to have a waterbed
that's cold...lol
Katrina Mintz 😂
I was gonna say 1992. 70 and 80 would be brown orange green

I like this H3-40. Factoring in the mileage, if the maintenance records are in order, this might possibly be a great value.
I'm surprise that it has't have the updated 2 piece windshield, but sometimes original is always better. Nice motorcoach.

Nice find Andrew, if it had the series 60 it would likely be sold already!
You can always put a rebuilt Series 50 in it

The 80's phoned, they want their interior back.
Even in the '80s they would've had better dining chairs than these second hand shop rejects.
LMAO!
Good Mid Morning My Good Friend Of RVing With Andrew Steele & Thank You My Good Friend Andrew Steele
very nice in and out i would buy it very nice andrew well done on the video thumbs up
love paint work and design!
I wonder what $40,000.00 upgrade would do inside. I think the paint job is the best thing about the coach.
Best question I've seen.. I would go nuts inside this with 40k
leather couch, valances freshened up, some living space entertainment, and I’d call it a day on that. The paint job is fantastically groovy!

What a beauty! A wonderful time capsule.
We had custom paint jobs done to 2 of our past coaches. They sold quickly afterwards. Very expensive thou, $20k+
Great looking coach!!
I LOVE Coach buses i loved this blue color paint 💖💖💖😍😍😍 a sweet homes in wheels. My dream home 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Beautiful paint job but interior is too dated.
Jesus, it's gorgeous! That livery is smokin' hot!!
14 more years..thats all i have left...14 years and ill be getting my first RV..and its gonna be a PREVOST
I'd get a newell, not a Prevost, if I were you. A less "bussy" and more "rvey" design with a newell.
This paint scheme smacks away many that are produced today i love it.
New coaches are going away from fancy decals and pain in favour of more automitve styles
Good looking unit. 1993 modernism.
Wow turn the lights on...
@Andrew, can a 3 wheel adult bike fit into one of the bays?

Next time you review a couch please open the shades or turn on some lights, also don't be afraid to open some cabinets and and exterior hatches
just joined.. and subscribed.. been watching your videos.. in market for a coach..
Absolutely beautiful

Hello may friends Good morning to you
So feeling original Miami Vice vibes in this one.
Very dated, what year is it? you are right Andrew best part is the paint, LOL thanks for sharing
The outside was promising, but as for me the inside was horrible and needed a gut job (hence the price). Thanks for the tour!
I think the main issues are no slides and its age. Most RV parks won't allow coaches older than 10 years.
For me it's the engine. Interesting to know that about RV parks though!
Sounds like a good deal!!!
What a beautiful coach! Just reflects that there is a price point for every budget! Take Care
There's also a fool for every sale.
Add the cost of a new interior plus electronics upgrade and go looking for other couches in that price range. chassis don’t go bad and the drive line is always repairable.
I wish I could buy this and just living it feel
interesting interior. does the buyer get a free Members Only jacket with purchase?
Andrew, I spent my career in the trucking business, and my first new KW was painted these same color combinations
I would love to see that Kenworth!! I bet she glowed!
That KW was a cab-over with a sleeper. A 1968 that cost me a whopping $18,000. Brand new, powered by 8v71 (318). Plus I bought 2 Trailmobile 28’ trailers to go with the it.
Andrew your the man! When I need another full time RV, my first call will be your #! Hopefully the last # also. Keep up the great videos. Thanks
The 8V92 is the reason for the price I loved the sound of the 92s but wouldnt own another one. they love to leak oil.
They're city bus or garbage truck engines is all they are.
@@dannysdailys not in the 70s I had a twin turbo 8V92 in a freightliner cabover it pulled pretty good but loved to leak oil from about 100k miles on I traded in 1978 for a pete with a KT600 you couldn't beat it I put over a million miles never leaked a drop heck of a motor loved a cummins from then on all that truck did was make money never broke once
Just to let you know that is a coach it is a bathroom a head is on a ship or a boat not a vehicle with wheels
No slides at all? C'mmon..))
Beautiful

These are not off road dry camping units.
Problem with a beautiful paint job like this is, if anything happens it's almost impossible to match.
Was this even $99,000 new?
Probably closer to 500,000 new if not more.
750k new, i have the build sheet..it’s not a Fleetwood class A diesel ..its a marathon prevost!

I do not like the charts,
Is there models that can be around 20-30 feet?
Are there any slide out's on this RV?
Wow, what a steal. We have a fifth wheel but this would make a good rig for someone.
Yeah, but you won't have your truck with you. You'd have to tow it. Sound good now?
@@dannysdailys like I said, for some one. We love our fifth wheel and Ram 3500!!
don't let the new guy drive it : )

Yeah, the engine is a huge strike against it. Detroit's are garbage.
@@dannysdailys I am sorry look like you don't have mechanical knowledge on DD60 series i have one with 1.8 mil miles regular maintenance !
