RV HAS SOLD
Detroit Diesel 60 Series 500 HP * 60,000 miles
SOME HISTORY ABOUT THIS COACH:
The conversion from a new H3-45 shell was being done in 1997 by a new company called Marathon of Canada. The company's intent was to build quality high-end motor homes while keeping the MSRP well below the prices of the competition. This was to be accomplished by trimming some of the frills and flashiness, yet still offering plenty of comfort features, quality and great looks. While a great idea, unfortunately, Marathon Canada was unable to remain in business for very long and a financial institute ended up owning this coach as well as other assets owned by this converter. This motor home, while not 100% completed, remained in a Canadian storage building for several years awaiting legal release. Finally, the coach was placed on the market around 2002 but remained unsold until Galatic Travels purchased it in 2004. During the next 2 years, the coach was brought up to 100% completion, including some very expensive upgrades. And since, the coach has been used purely as a motor home for the next 8 years. During that period, the coach has only been driven 107,600 kilometers (which equals about 50,000 miles).
For the comfort of potential buyers, the coach was inspected by Prevost Car in October, 2014 for mechanical defects and the only item noted was with the muffler having outer skin corrosive defects.
THE FOLLOWING MODS WERE DONE BETWEEN 2005-2006:
1) Installed a 2005 style front cap at a cost of $24,000, and a 2005 style rear cap at a cost of $14,000. These mods give the appearance of a much newer coach (similar to 2010 style).
2) Installed a 15 kw Martin/Yanmar diesel power plant (now has a total of 460 hours).
3) Custom painted the coach.
4) Finished all incompleted conversion items.
5) Dome In-Motion Satellite dish on roof.
THE FOLLOWING MODS WERE DONE BETWEEN 2010 - 2013:
1) Professionally repainted in ultra-modern scheme with 6 clear coat layers. Paint scheme was copied from a 2012 Prevost conversion.
2) New batteries for chassis and house.
3) Serviced all brakes, bearings, and hubs. (due to age, not miles).
4) Installed top-of-the-line steel-belted radial tires all around. (replaced due to age, not miles). Now have less than 10,000 miles on them.

This coach is in very good condition overall, and while an interior update may be desirable for some, it looks very nice, is very comfortable, and you will notice very little wear and tear throughout the coach. And as one would expect from a 17 year old used motor home, there are a few minor items which the new owner may want to address such as: 2 or 3 of the windows (all windows are insulated double glass) have some fogging between the glass layers; Although the front entry door can be open/closed manually or by air, the air ops needs some adjustment; The door bell has become inoperative; And, some may think the privacy shades for the front cockpit area needs improving. This coach is very sound mechanically, so there are no worries here.
