Thanks for the video. I am watching it to learn some things. You bring lots of exploration about RVs and things around it, but *please take a few lessons how to take videos, so it should show us more. Like what to point the camera to rather, Etc. So many times we don’t need to see your face, but rather we want see what you see.* (I will post it in several of your videos since I bump into those problems there as well. Its constructive critique.)
OUTSTANDING. ! Can't be much different between a 43 and a 45 foot coach. Drove a 78 foot truck and trailer all over the US for the last 25 years. All it takes is some road time and a lot of paying attention to what you are doing. Every day is a new situation. Time and patience goes a long way. STAY SAFE OUT THERE. 😷🙏🇺🇸
Great job. I am a CDL instructor (former OTR) and I have a 45' dual axle freightliner cab party (limo on steroids) bus I drive. These buses are harder to drive than the tractor trailer combos. Another great vid Andrew and as always stay safe and give Sadie some love for me.
Andrew, I'm sure your support for Heather to drive helped Court over the hurdle giving her confidence to drive. Now she can drive most anywhere. I enjoy the positive energy and like you say, meeting, getting to know cool people. Thank you for sharing, this will help my wife get confidence to go for it also. Have a great day!
Hey Andrew Kevin from central Florida. Just what myself and my wife needed to break up this covid 19 stress. She should be vary proud if herself with driving. A prevost is in our future for sure! Excellent video as always.
Heather you did so good! You too Andrew. Very Informative information from Court too. My wife wanted to drive our coach the other day but I wasn't ready. After watching this I think she is going to be driving ours soon. I had fun watching this video. Thanks guys.
One cool thing about your videos Andrew is that you're helping people realize that their dreams are possible whether they buy a Prevost or not. Great job!! ;)
A "Prevost" is the Scalade of all motor coaches. I've been a commercial driver for over 30 years. And I'm very familiar with: Prevost, Van Hools, MCi's, dual air braking system, including the Thelma braking system they need to be aware of.. In addition to the tag axle, turning in the opposite direction as you turn left or right to accommodate your turns.. I wouldn't mind coming over and do a proper behind the wheel training.. on these Coaches
I agree with you! It is always good to have two people that know how to drive the rig, never know when you’re needed to drive it. It can be very daunting but there are people who can help with the learning. We don’t have a rig of any size & never drove the van with the tent trailer, but am going to learn to drive our next configuration, I’ve started to boost my confidence over it! When looking at rigs, test drive it, just like the smaller vehicles, some drive easier than others. Thanks for this video, you rocked it!
I’m a commercial driver I’ve driven everything from school bus, motor coaches, Entertainer motor coaches with mega trailers and semi trucks and this is a prime reason why I think those that own buses of this size should have a CDL and a minimum of training requirement. If you notice in this video he was saying you need to make sure your air pressure is up and working properly and she was worried about the seatbelt. When she was making her left-hand turn she was looking forward but she never looked in her mirrors to see if her rear with hit a sign or pole when she swung to the left. These are not big RVs these are buses that way a minimum 50,000 or more pounds
Way to show how it’s done Heather! Well done. You’re probably a good motivation to a lot of peeps afraid to give driving a rig like that a go. And Court seems a supportive good sport too. Happy travels!
Andrew dude!!!! What a super cool video, with a super cool couple!!! Kort (hoping I got the spelling of his name right) is so chilled!! I'm hoping to meet them someday along with yourself. As soon as this mayhem subsides. Blessings upon you, Pastor Kevin aka Preacherman
Awesome! We have a 30ft Class C and are planning to upgrade to a 40ft Class A. We've been worried about the transition in driving a longer coach, this gave us the confidence we needed.
Great job !! I remember my first time driving a prevost and it was quite a trip. Tampa to Sacramento in 3 days and it was really fun. It made me a believer in large coaches such as a prevost with the great ride.
Good to see you guys out driving! I actually wish more people produced driving videos of the Prevost coaches. So many people tour them but don't show what it's like driving them. Hi Court and Heather!~
Been driving practically every thing , from MOTORHOME, with a 53 foot trailer, extended hood W900 large Sleeper, 53 foot trailer, for years, and last week gotta drive a diesel pusher. It needed to go to the shop in south Florida, 45 foot. Never driven one, so my friend asked me if I could take it from Daytona to south Florida, yep I said. Absolutely was easier than I thought.
Court, Heather and Andrew, you guys are killing me. While I love our Dynasty, a Prevost conversion is definitely top on my want list for our next coach. Watching this isn’t helping any. 😜 Andrew, like Court, I like to coast as it’s my favorite “gear” for economy. I didn’t like the immediate downshift and activation of the engine compression brake. I wired in a normally open switch as a foot pedal like the earlier Jake brakes used so I can control when the compression braking activates and I can coast. It may be something you want to look in to. Great video and love your guys’ coach. Mike
That must've been one of the highlights of your life, Andrew. Vicariously, too, I found it quite enjoyable,. I thank my lucky stars for the vicarious experience, since not too many of us here below get to enjoy what you've just enjoyed not only on board of a great product but two utterly pleasant people.
Absolutely, I am extremely thankful for Court and Heather and their friendship. so glad I was able to make a UA-cam video out of this so I can go back and relive it as well.
@@RVingwithAndrewSteele - I think your comments about the differences in the "feel" of the Prevost vs your Tiffin while on the road are VERY revealing to those folk who are stuck in the stick 'n staple mindset.
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for.. Many don't admit it but it can be quite scary to learn the turn radius, swing etc.. Especially if your Hubby cracks jokes like mine did. You did marvelous.
For sure with the people on the road treating buses like a sports car! I drive a 39ft school bus and and the amount of times people cut me off on a daily is remarkable! You def have to be focused and super cautious when driving these things! Lol
My favorite video so far, I really enjoyed the ride along with Heather driving then you. It was like being there with you all. Mid life Prevost couple Court & Heather are super cool couple. I have watched so many Prevost video, I would pick a used Prevost if I get the chance one day. I noticed some jitter, was this the GOPRO? Good work Andrew, stay safe with this virus.
@@zaptor1514 right!?! Totally think there should be a class I could take, like my motorcycle license! And maybe not a CDL levelbut something relatable to the RV navigation
On the subject of the transmission brake. Keep an eye on the trans temp. If operating any were there a long downgrade. The trans temp dill climb very quickly to a point that you can cause damage.
Heather, you are the bomb diggity! Glad you're in Arizona I love Arizona I try to go there once a year to Tucson but very good your husband's face was red the whole time but it was good LOL
The steering wheel looks just like the steering wheel from a j4500 .either way this prevost sounds nice and to drive a beast like that whether om the highway ,city streets or even in some type of lot or yard that is darn impressive
Good job Heather. I was going to drive trucks coast to coast or local runs after military even got 100% correct answers on Virginia CDL exam. Just never followed up with getting license. Should have got myself one of the Provost coaches when it first crossed my mind. I only pull into truck stops or gas stations I can pull straight through without having to make any difficult maneuvers even guys in Miatas think they don’t have to move. I mean you be doing a small turn guy be like I want a new car because you crushed the aluminum can I was driving. I live near a church I was once debating paving the lot with one stipulation I could used the lot to get coach turned around if I came home approaching the from north and needed to get into my drive way. I mean I can swing out into other lane and make right turn into my driveway but not trying to rollover or buy somebody a Miata because they not paying attention to me. I jump into left lane to turn right they see my blinkers but they don’t care they be like I can still make it even if I decide to start the right turn. Next thing you know they be like you saw me alongside of you and now they want next years newest Cadillac and they were driving a 1974 Pinto.
Something to consider is making sure that if you only use the trans break does it light up your break lights? CRAZY! You alll addressed my question as I was writing this !
Honestly let’s just face it, and the reality is that some people -(whether male or female) are/were born with a high motor skill predisposition...and superior performance of motor skills. Some were born with it, others acquired it through early on the farm training as kids...then still some or probably most attending some type of vocational training. I started driving my dad’s car out on the highway at eleven (11) years old - sitting on telephone books, and drove my granddaddy’s John Deere tractor at an even earlier age. Even though I’ve been driving since I was a kid, I didn’t get my official state license until I was in college at 21years of age. I studied for my CDL, drove 18-wheelers, church buses and RV motor homes. I share all this to say that anybody who already has an experience and how to operate any type of vehicle, can train another person to operate said vehicle. I learned all about pneumatics (air brake) systems for trains, buses and trucks long before I got behind the wheels of any. Anybody can read up on how to do anything and pass a required multiple choice test, -but hands on training is another thing altogether. Many people quite often flunk the hands on or field training tests. So if the lady in the video (Heather) has already acquired experience in driving a 43’ RV and now feels confident enough graduating up to a 45’, I’d say leave her alone and let the lady continue learn while she’s training (it’s a life long endeavor anyway). It’s obvious her husband or partner has instructed her in safe RV driving -of which I’d bet females are way more careful at -too, than males are. Everybody doesn’t struggle to learn how to operate an air brake equipped vehicle. Why, it’s just air brakes for goodness sakes. Pre-trip inspections are not just native to large and or air brake equipped vehicles. No, most school districts always did require both a “pre” and “aft” trip inspection of their buses and or just vehicles period. With semi-tractor-trailers there’s always an added “post” trip inspection, because loads have to settle-in and can shift around along the journey. It seems to me like certain folks want to make life just as complicated and or if not harder for other folks as it was for themselves. CDLs’ are not needed because of air brakes -or size of vehicle- as many non air system vehicles require a CDL. You may need a CDL for operating a vehicle for commercial commerce purposes. Just like a chauffeur license is a type of CDL but of course with the appropriate endorsement(s). Some states require both a CL and CDL to just commercially chauffeur people around. I hope the authorities that be never-ever require neither a CL nor a CDL to operate a private non commercial RV, and it don’t matter whether it’s a train, plane, boat or locomotive train; as long as it’s being safely operated correctly. 🤫😇😷🙏🏾🚎🚚🚜🏍🚁🛩🚂🛳
Driving this would be so much fun!!! I drive a school bus and i feel more comfortable driving my school bus than my own car. LET ME DRIVE THE BIG RV PLEASE!!
I have not figure out yet ,why i am glue to your channel lol. The best thing is watching you drive .Your so nervous but handle it like champ. Now you want one right ? What are your thought on the super c compare to class A as far drive ability and ride smoothness. Great people Court and Heather. Court is so laid back, No problem for Heather wheeling the Big boy down the road.
Heather did great, I was anxious and super nervous when I drove my 38ft class A for the first time. I still don’t really like driving it through the city.
Nice! -- QUESTION -- That was great - what an awesome RV. With that Detroit Diesel, what would your highway cruising MPG be at 55 mo/h also what would it be at 60 and at 65 mph? Just want to get a feel for it at different speeds as I heard that higher speeds hurt mpg a lot. FINAL question, is it possible to install new technology such as adaptive cruise control or even better, lane keep assist sensors? Is there anything like that?
Tip or tilt the back of the chair forward it gives your back more support . In turn will give you more control of the vehicle. You will be more relaxed during a long drive. Keep on Truckin'👍👍
@@midlifeprevost1182 - From my days as a bus driver training instructor, ergonomically, the seating position that is the least invasive on your body is three right angles: a vertical line from your ear thru your shoulder to your hips, your thighs horizontal, and your lower legs vertical with your feet flat on the floor while stationary and adjusting your driver's seat. Obviously, your right leg will not be vertical while operating the pedals, but the closer to vertical the better. Oh, one other quick point: Always, always, ALWAYS keep the palms of your hands facing the steering wheel, NEVER reach through and grab with your palms up. Should a wheel catch a rut or chuck hole, the wheel can kick back and potentially break your wrist.

Like a preflight check list!
her confidence in her husband is solid heavenly gold..
That was awesome! Very cool to let Andrew take the wheel. I think I was smiling along with you Andrew on the first drive!
Awesome video...such a COOL couple! Thanks for taking me along for the ride! I really enjoyed it!
That woman looked really solid turning the coach, hard to beleive it was her first time making turns.
Hey Andrew Kevin from central Florida. Just what myself and my wife needed to break up this covid 19 stress. She should be vary proud if herself with driving.
A prevost is in our future for sure!
Excellent video as always.
I have 6 percent battery, battery. Very busy today. Can't wait to see you guys!

Great educational...so great they let you...dear Andrew, drive...very helpful to newbies to be..thanks to all!!!
I love this bus conversion Prevost XL :)
nice ride Heather :)
hi from France
I really like this channel, excellent job!
Good job to Heather, driving a coach around town is hard. This is taking me back to when I first drove a big coach.
Great video and a great couple sharing with us. Thank you Andrew for another awesome video!
Good vid Andrew, great job Heather, yes the mountain backdrop was awesome.

Andrew I’ve been watching your videos for about a month now, and I much appreciate your channel. Wow, you got to drive a Prevost. So cool...
Great thorough, instructional videos! Awesome, down-to-earth people! Thank you for all the information! You go girl driving that Prevo!
Nice job girl !!!!
Keep the video coming ANDREW.
I forgot cat pillow need to go lol 😂

Thank you! If I didn't have him I'd definitely seek out an instructor
Wow, Ive been waiting so long to see a drive like this. Im in the market for a Class A, from a 5th Wheel. Thanks so much.
How can you not love Heather and Court? The world would be a better place with more Heather and Courts in it.
True Story!

Ok Andrew, time to pull the trigger on that Liberty Prevost Conversion; just 2.6 million and it's all yours!
Is it really 2 mill?
Awesome! We have a 30ft Class C and are planning to upgrade to a 40ft Class A. We've been worried about the transition in driving a longer coach, this gave us the confidence we needed.
Wow. Thanks for sharing. I always wondered what they are like driving.
Great job !! I remember my first time driving a prevost and it was quite a trip. Tampa to Sacramento in 3 days and it was really fun. It made me a believer in large coaches such as a prevost with the great ride.
That's a nonstop drive!!
That huge ear-to-ear grin on his face means Heather & Court will soon cost Andrew some BIG $$$$ by putting him behind the wheel of their coach 😎
Really nice people with a great attitude. Safe travels
It really shows how easy to drive those things are notwithstanding their size. Although I'm surprised that Court hasn't changed that windshield yet.
It just cracked we haven't had a chance- we are going to replace the fridge and window same time
Good to see you guys out driving! I actually wish more people produced driving videos of the Prevost coaches. So many people tour them but don't show what it's like driving them. Hi Court and Heather!~

What a difference between a Prevost and nearly any production coach. No runs, no drips, no rattles.
That’s awesome you got to drive, you did great Buddy!
Loved watching Heather driving in those shorts. She did a nice job with the turns.
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for.. Many don't admit it but it can be quite scary to learn the turn radius, swing etc.. Especially if your Hubby cracks jokes like mine did. You did marvelous.
Thank you!
Nice driving and beautiful rv
Buses are surprisingly easy to drive. I imagine a million dollar coach like that one handles like a dream.
Lovely entertaining travel, awesome view of places, great driving skills,,,, 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Loved it! Thanks for sharing! I have a new dream now 💙
Looks like your in gold canyon/AJ. I live off Crismon and the 60. I love the east side of the valley.
Love it out there too!
Now you did it Andrew! You've been bit. Time to list your RV and get a Prevost
Heather did just as good driving as she did with the camera. Well done. BTW.....I want a turn driving. LOL
Andrew's gopros are amazing!!!
Awesome Job Heather 👍
Beautiful ride. Wish I could get one...
For sure with the people on the road treating buses like a sports car! I drive a 39ft school bus and and the amount of times people cut me off on a daily is remarkable! You def have to be focused and super cautious when driving these things! Lol

Everyone needs a Heather to drive the coach .🤣🤣🤣🤣
Having driven these hundreds of thousands of miles, I still can't understand why a CDL isn't required.
Agreed!!!
No training on air brakes? Unbelievable and unsafe.
@@zaptor1514 right!?! Totally think there should be a class I could take, like my motorcycle license! And maybe not a CDL levelbut something relatable to the RV navigation
It is not a commerical vehicle it is a privately own vehicle. But training is needed to operate them.
s jones Well it’s obvious she had no training and she admitted it. She should not be driving it.
Absolutely the best "RV Porn" channel for prospective buyers trying to learn everything there is to know about RV life.
Nice video congrats on being able to finally drive a prevost
I felt a little anxiety watching her drive.. LOL Great vid.
You and me both Tim!🤣🤣🤣 I had 2 good instructors with me
On the subject of the transmission brake. Keep an eye on the trans temp. If operating any were there a long downgrade. The trans temp dill climb very quickly to a point that you can cause damage.
Heather, you are the bomb diggity! Glad you're in Arizona I love Arizona I try to go there once a year to Tucson but very good your husband's face was red the whole time but it was good LOL
Robert he golfs all the time that's his golf tan 😁🤣
I've always wanted a rig like that and have been concerned about driving something so big. Just imagine when these things drive themselves.
The steering wheel looks just like the steering wheel from a j4500 .either way this prevost sounds nice and to drive a beast like that whether om the highway ,city streets or even in some type of lot or yard that is darn impressive

That is one beautiful RV! Ninety degree city street corners would freak me out.
Man Heather and Court are pretty cool too let you drive their baby. That's one step closer to having your own Prevost Andrew:)
Wow thanks for the ride. Maybe someday...
Tire upgrades 👍👍 I went from 245 to 275 on my coach. Big buffer on weights and feels a lot more solid
I'd feel safe with her driving anytime, She did a great job.
Wait until you see my tow and backing up skills🤣🤣

Something to consider is making sure that if you only use the trans break does it light up your break lights? CRAZY! You alll addressed my question as I was writing this !

Hi Nick me to . The bigger the truck the better for me . Have a hgv class 2 can drive upto 32ton . Round central London .
That is right in my neighborhood, east mesa!
Awesome video !
I have not figure out yet ,why i am glue to your channel lol. The best thing is watching you drive .Your so nervous but handle it like champ. Now you want one right ? What are your thought on the super c compare to class A as far drive ability and ride smoothness. Great people Court and Heather. Court is so laid back, No problem for Heather wheeling the Big boy down the road.
Thank you Harold! I don't have much experience with super c but hope to learn more about them and make videos in the future.
RVing with Andrew Steele Thank you for the reply and you stay safe out there looking forward to the next video
Oh shit! Now I see a Prevost in Andrew’s future. This is the day everything changes.
Heather did great, I was anxious and super nervous when I drove my 38ft class A for the first time. I still don’t really like driving it through the city.
Great video!!!
The Allison retarders are quite the feature.. Great vid Andrew.. thanks for taking us along
Andrew, you’re courageous!
I can’t deal with anyone’s driving, I do all the driving, even in the Class A!
Great job Heather! Very nice couple.
Good 😌 on you cindy . I’m the same . I don’t feel at ease with anyone else driving.
Nice! -- QUESTION -- That was great - what an awesome RV. With that Detroit Diesel, what would your highway cruising MPG be at 55 mo/h also what would it be at 60 and at 65 mph? Just want to get a feel for it at different speeds as I heard that higher speeds hurt mpg a lot. FINAL question, is it possible to install new technology such as adaptive cruise control or even better, lane keep assist sensors? Is there anything like that?
Cort's easy attitude and persona , would have made him a good Flight Instructor
Tip or tilt the back of the chair forward it gives your back more support . In turn will give you more control of the vehicle. You will be more relaxed during a long drive.
Keep on Truckin'👍👍
🙏🙏 thank you!!!
@@midlifeprevost1182 - From my days as a bus driver training instructor, ergonomically, the seating position that is the least invasive on your body is three right angles: a vertical line from your ear thru your shoulder to your hips, your thighs horizontal, and your lower legs vertical with your feet flat on the floor while stationary and adjusting your driver's seat. Obviously, your right leg will not be vertical while operating the pedals, but the closer to vertical the better.
Oh, one other quick point: Always, always, ALWAYS keep the palms of your hands facing the steering wheel, NEVER reach through and grab with your palms up. Should a wheel catch a rut or chuck hole, the wheel can kick back and potentially break your wrist.
This rig is beautiful.
To settle the problem.....trade your Tiffan in a get a Prevost!!!
