    Just picked up a new 2020 Dutch Star 4369 at North Trail in Fort Myers, FL. I just took it on a maiden voyage to South Carolina for a dirt bike Enduro. Then stayed at Lake Greenwood Motorcoach Resort for a week. I put 2,000 miles on it and it performed flawlessly. The comfort drive is a serious game changer. In my old Thor Outlaw I experienced white knuckle fever every time I drove it. You can’t go wrong with a Newmar.

    We just sold our Tiffin Allegro Bus and bought a Newmar Mountain Aire. Couldn’t be happier with our decision. Those 365s on the front rims are sweet. Full wall slide out, awesome. We only drive about 8,000/year, but sleep about 3 months. The extra room in nice.

    We are dry camping, dirt bike riding beach going folks. Our Tiffin Allegro , 2 slide is a great coach. Every thing works, every time you need it. We stole it at 15,5000.00 its a 2000 with 35,000 miles and 400 hours on Gen. It truly is about how you are going to use the coach. Adding a strip LED light down the passenger side is a must for light.

    We run a Tiffin with 920 watts of solar 600ah of lithium. We fulltime boondock and run 9k to 10k a year. There have been suspension changes made koni shocks and a safety plus. Our coach is awesome we do our preventative maintenance and annual inspections. The problems we have had have been minor because of our maintenance program. If you think you can own a large motorhome without a maintenance program and drive it 20k a year You're dreaming.

    OHHHHHH YOU'RE KILLIN' ME SMALL'S! You know what you need to buy, you know it.......weather its a serious crunch on the pocket book is a true thing. You know if it's not on a Prevost chassis you KNOW the issues you are going to have. Go back to your interviews of people for moved up to the Prevost. I KNOW its tough man it's fricken a TON of loot! Getting another Class A is like selling a Chevy Suburban and getting a GMC Denali XL it's the same thing and same issues. I would be super happy for you if waiting several months or even a year to build up that dollars! Yes sell that Tiffin, you did right by that coach and the new owner is getting a super coach! What an awesome journey you are taking us with you, I can't wait to see what you have chosen.......TAOD??????? Hummmmmmmmm

    Looking forward to seeing what you wind up with. You probably can’t go wrong with a Prevost chassis. We’re on our 3rd RV a 2017 Tiffin bus we ordered new. For us it’s all about how you’re going to use it and the floor plan. Also where you’re going to store it when you’re not using it.

  • @bigdanc.8429
    @bigdanc.8429 3 года назад +1

    Have you considered a non-slide Prevost then having one or two slides installed? I understand that it costs about 1500 to 2000 per foot for slides. If you do an 8 foot in the bedroom then a 22 foot in the living area that's 45-60k which I think is a lot less than buying a double slide unit. I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Good luck on your sale and purchase. Love your videos.

    Jokes aside with you wanting to put lots of miles on a Rv and worried about high end Prevost or Newell being expensive to fix then a Super C based on a big truck chassis might be the way to go. If i didnt already drive a big truck for a living i would buy a Renegade XL.

      Let's be honest, super c's are not on the same level as a Prevost. There's a reason why they cost a million dollars or more.
      Super C's are definitely setup for road travel and are more serviceable so that is something.

    Love your videos. That said I would never recommend that anyone buy a typical RV. They are all junk. My first "RV" was a 1977 Blue Bird Wanderlodge with the CAT 3208 and it was built like a tank. IMO the biggest mistake RV buyers make is buying a typical RV. It's best to skip all that and go straight to a commercial grade motorcoach. The Prevost, Wanderlodges and Newell coaches would be the best options with Prevost by Liberty or Marathon at the top of the food chain. It's like buying a camera tripod. Get a good one and skip all the junk. In the long run you save money. By the way I would go with a riveted Prevost maybe 1996-1999 non-slide. Get a garage kept one-owner with a great service history if possible and call it a day. Then own it for the rest of your life. This while other folks are going through a half dozen or more RVs and spending GOD know how much money on them. Keep up the great work Andrew!

    Looking to put 20-30k miles a year on a diesel pusher, and on a pre-owned Prevost or Newell at that? You know your stuff Andrew no doubt about that but the question you *should* be asking is how much money do you want to spend on maintenance a year. The bells & whistles are nice but like you said that stuff breaks down. If you're looking to push an RV pretty hard for the next few years I'd suggest going with a Super C, bank some bucks THEN buy that Prevost or Newell; you'll have the bank to help cover the maintenance. Personally, if I'd just dropped $30k into a Phaeton and it's in great condition, I'd keep it while putting money away so that finances aren't a concern when you upgrade to what you really want. Sounds like you have "new RV fever"; keep the Phaeton awhile longer.

    I wonder if Newell would do a minimalist coach? Your point about when gadgets go wrong is spot on. I’d love a single color grey metallic Newell. Manual basement slides. No power washer. No disco lighting inside or 1500 leather patterns. Simple, elegant, a less is more coach. I wonder the cost for something like that?

    Andrew, you have been an important resource for those looking at a premium level motorcoach (especially me). Now it's your turn to listen to your own advice. As the owner of 3 previous motorhomes starting with a gas-powered Pace Arrow years ago and then moving to two levels of diesel pusher, I am suggesting that unless you are looking to constantly turn over your coach, plan on buying what you would consider being your last purchase. Production coach products for the last 5 to 7 years have been going down in quality as more units get pushed out the door. Don't settle for another stepping stone. I love the new 2021 Newmar King Aire but I don't want to drive 1850 miles to get factory service.
    In following your videos, I have been most interested in the post-sale warranty and service policies you feature during your tours (as well as what most often breaks). The idea that when in trouble I can wake up a knowledgable technician in the middle of the night at Newell and get help is the type of support I want when spending this type of money. The last thing I want to do is be told to go and find a different service tech for each major component on the coach. Had that with Fleetwood and American. As you stated in this video, you need to figure out your objectives and lifestyle. I need the coach for both business and pleasure. I will use it frequently but I don't plan to live in it for long periods of time. It seems as if bus-based coaches offer the maximum over-the-road durability but you give up some of the smaller things like head height, or an interior that can't accommodate more than 2. As for selling your existing Tiffen, with all of the work done to yours and the accountability that your video history shows, I would look at $120k as the hard stop.

    I think your Tiffin is amazing. Your comments about needing to baby the Tiffin to keep it from breaking worry me.

    So this is just a question since it's on you, but you spent all that time in Oregon at Preimer RV. No interest in a Country Coach? No secret that I'm prejudiced on the subject, but it seems you could pick up a really nice CC for a decent price. Between their quality construction and the Dynamax chassis those coaches were made to last.

    You need a Prevost 1996-2000 riveted non slide. I would prefer a Liberty, Marathon, Country Coach in that order. Polish and detail and have the nicest rig of that era. I would like that for myself but I have a family of four, so we went with a CC Magna.

  • @brettster3331
    @brettster3331 3 года назад +1

    Andrew, an RV from a company like Prevost is kind of like a Lexus and is a lot more complex but also much better built and as far as problems go I can give you my car experience, we keep cars a long time and usually about 20 years, I had a Nissan maxima that was purchased new and over the years even though it was well serviced it had a ton of problems, fuel injector, new transmission, HVAC fan, three door window suspension units, and lots more. While we had this car we purchased a used Lexus ES a year older than the Nissan, and in the years we kept that car until it was 22, the only problems it ever had were the volume control knob on the stereo got loose we had that fixed and is was expensive and we had a power steering hose develop a leak, easy fix. So for us we replaced the Nissan with a new Toyota Highlander and eventually the Lexus with a used Lexus LS and both have been trouble free for many years now.

    You can do a ton of maintenance on that Tiffin and not get anywhere close to Prevost cost. Consider the $$$ you are going to have into a Prevost, that is a continuing depreciating asset. + 10 to below, Super C would be a lot less money and maintenance friendly with forward motor.

    Pickin up what you’re puttin down, but I’ve put about 4,000 miles this summer on my ‘97 holiday rambler endeavor diesel with no issues. I don’t see how racking up miles would hurt the house part of the rv in something like mine any more than a bus chassis except that maybe the bus chassis rides a little smoother. Y’all, putting 20-30k miles a year on any diesel pusher should not be a struggle for it.

    Hi Andrew....well, it is definitely non standard times. I'd bet you could get low to mid retail on your rig + 50% of your interior upgrade. Normally, I'd say you're going to be eating your interior upgrade and the highest you could hope for is low retail.
    Though I hate to see you get rid of your Phaeton as you haven't really had it very long, it will be exciting to see what you do get. With your status and contacts, I'm sure you are going to stumble onto a Prevost that will be within your $$ comfort zone in no time.

    It's a no brainers Andrew, you have done a lot of work on your coach, basically, it's like new almost. So, the only way to go, would be a prevost, be it liberty, marathon, featherlite or whatever, your coach is pretty nice, so unless your going prevost, you should keep it. There's a saying for cars that would apply to any vehicle, "if your vehicle is paid for and you have to put some maintenance into it every year, its still the best deal you can get,"
    Unless your going prevost or not happy with it, you should keep it. Ask Sadie, she will tell you the truth.

    Why does your Tiffin wear you out to drive? Are you sawing the wheel a lot?
    I just knocked down 650 miles in 11 hours on Saturday and never tired. Although I’ve done some suspension upgrades to our Dynasty, it drives like a dream and I’d rather drive it than the car.
    We only put about 8k miles a year on it since we quit racing but I can see us doing many more miles once we are able to retire. Our Dynasty only has 128k miles on her so there’s a lot of life left in her yet.
    Good luck on your search.
