I saw this nice rig and a ROUGH looking bus at the Gas City exit in IN.

This one was at a VP and the rougher one was at the McClure across the street.

You will see a bunch of Prevost on the road heading for the Prouds rally in Pontiac MI that starts the 17th if you want to go that rally it will cost 995 bucks for 2 people and if you want a golf cart add 300 to that lol.That bus looks like a entertainer to me

good luck

Thats an entertainer coach. 5 bay doors is a dead givaway

That one there is an old Senetors coach out of Florence Alabama. They have 50 or so of them all painted that exact same paint job.

If you ever encounter one of these they are great buses.

They convert them themselves and then run them in their own fleet for 500000 and sell them.

Their service schedule and maintence records are second to none.

Those 45 ft XLs have 2 wheelbases the motorhome chassis  has about 3 ft less wheelbase that the chassis that come down to be converted to entertainers.

I saw another one very similar to this one heading north around 465 this afternoon. Very nice rigs.

Rosie lives in Gas City. Altho I haven't seen his bus's, it may be one of them. Maybe he will respond or I can call him if you are really interested. (I just camped with him in Louisville at the Street Rod Nationals)

I thoght Rosie was a eagle guy. This was right up the road from his place tho.

I was just curious, I don't really need to know.

Chaz -

I guess I've been asleep at the wheel, but I just noticed you changed your avatar!

Cool!



Joe -

Does Senator sell off their coaches directly, or only to brokers/dealers?

As you said, might be a way for a fellow busnut to pick up a 45-foot, well-maintained rig for a fair price.


FWIW & HTH. . .

 ;D  Glad you noticed. Typically stuff like that just goes over my head.  ;D I'm thought my grey epoxy primer looked better than that nasty old brown and black. Next thing is one day it will be shiney. That would make Linda happy. (she's all about the bling) ;)

Back to our regularly scheduled topic.............  ;)
