2021 Prevost Emerald RV: Let's Tour the Most Luxurious and Expensive Motor Home on the Road!

[@jeremychristian1282]

Nothing like waking up on a lovely weekend morning, making a decent cup of coffee, checking out the latest TFL videos, and realizing that you’ll never make it to be worthy enough to even venture onto that kind of piece of eden. (Deep, longing 😔 sigh)

[@willhutton1516]

Maybe you guys could do a video on the first gen Ridgeline and see how good it does offroad

[@SRQmoviemaker]

We can dream... and possibly hit the lotto hah

[@kreativenarciso4199]

Your wildest dreams will come true if you consistently build towards them each day. I hope you may realize your dreams one day~!

[@fidlaf1]

Well there is a way for you to buy that motor home. I know of a way that will allow that for you. And all you need to do is invest $100 dollars, that is all. You do it yourself. You don’t need anybody to help you. The investment is call XRP ( The company Ripple uses XRP for their native asset) Google it or go to You Tube and find information. Do your own research about it. You won’t regret it. ( if you buy XRP, give it 2 years and you will have that motor home ) www.xrparcade.com/news/ripple-makes-cnbcs-disruptor-50-companies/ www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldelcastillo/2020/06/17/xrp-isnt-a-security-declares-former-cftc-chairman/

Ben Renner + There is something better than the lottery. Or actually is like winning the lottery in slow motion. But at the end it is real you will be a winner, with XRP

[@turb0z]

Shows everything in extreme detail except for a complete look at the interior from front to back...

[@MsCNail-fe1sj]

I found that very irritating...why would you be inside...outside...inside...outside and still didn't show the whole interior?

@@MsCNail-fe1sj cause he didn’t take his shoes off they kicced him out

[@chronos4573]

RVs are just like boats, the two happiest days are when you first drive off with it and the day you sell it,.

[@glenncurley680]

That's why I told my Wife we're only renting them when we need them! I grew up boating and camping. My Parents were always complaining about the cost of everything involved.

[@HHowardHH]

haha you guys make them sound scary.

[@slugga7190]

You didn’t show the bedroom, bathroom, laundry or storage? Not much of a tour. You missed out half the features.

[@marp4735]

slugga 71 the guy too private, he won’t let us see inside?

[@ThatWhichISee]

Like he said. If you gotta see the room details.....you can't afford it. (Paraphrased) Lol. I guess they want to sale the details on how this house on wheels runs. But that doesn't matter to me if I don't like the inside layout. Ok

[@rumpustime5460]

@@ThatWhichISee He also said "It's all in the detail" at the beginning lol edit: and at LEAST three more times through the video

[@alldayvids3962]

Half? Whole.

[@darrylwoodbury]

Thanks. You saved me the time of watching this video all the way through. That's what I was interested in seeing.

[@lizzyincleoh]

Making my fortune and buying the exact same model. Traveling across America, chilling, enjoying retirement, and living in luxury!

[@donsmith7979]

Imagine you pull into a small, poor town and your bus is worth more than the whole town. My sister and rich hubby had a big bus and could not stop in Yosemite without a reservation. Just keep moving through the park. No parking for you." Hey buddy " could ya spare some change? Life Is Not fair.That's the Best bus I've seen. Thanks again Andre .

[@ronaldk3904]

If you've ever had the opportunity to drive a bus conversion, you'd truly be amazed at how easily they glide down the road. Effortless to drive would be how I'd describe the experience.

[@jaysmith1408]

Bloody beautiful. At my old company, had chance to drive one once, I can’t even describe it. Go in to the shop to ask about a promotion, guy from safety walks me right out to the coach, asks if I need any help, I said ‘give me five minutes for the buttons and I’ll be good’. They are so much easier to drive, than it is to describe it.

[@l.q.1253]

This is the most scattered tour ever..plus, you didn’t show the full interior. Huh? What? Pointless.

[@MsCNail-fe1sj]

Exactly!!

[@brandonjolley8806]

agree...he was all over the place ...and missed a lot of places

[@ledebuhr1]

While Emerald is nice, you should look at a much nicer rig like a Newell. They are 45ft quad slides, 600hp Cummins, and a rear steering tag axel. Newells are 63k GVWR.

[@uowebfoot]

Marathon.

[@overlord5580]

Newell coaches are nice but, they have a quirky design that I'm not too keen on so, I personally prefer the design and style of the Prevost motor coach.

[@keenerwood7533]

Have a look at the Liberty Coach. The nicest exterior paint in the industry and my personal choice if I ever had the funds to buy one of these.

[@ItachiUchiha-lr3yr]

Imagine watching that outside TV in the evening with bigfoot creeping up behind you.

[@anthonyc1883]

[@joanmorgan5318]

So, you like them and would buy one? You should have knowledge of their reliability.

[@dirkkeeler1348]

Since very few can afford this thing it was sure nice to see the detail of what makes it so nice. Enjoyed greatly. Thanks.

[@philtripe]

true that but then to see cheap plastic and weak plastic zip ties ... they do make metal zip ties that will last for twenty years and not the 5 of a cheap plastic one

[@jacobhudgens7892]

Only one thing I see wrong with it. The fact im homeless and im not the owner of. 😆 GOD bless you all! That thing is beautiful!

[@yahtzeejimbob]

Thanks for showing us your "Rebel" side by not taking off your shoes, Andre you rube! I can understand these units being desirable for big-time race drivers needing to have a home 24/7 at a track for a week or two. But I bet those folks fly to-and from the events, going home or to PR events and staying in hotels, not continuously riding the roads between gigs. Non-racing folks that have the bucks to afford one of these, instead travel by air and stay in hotels wherever they go. Much more efficient and comfortable. I had a friend of mine haul a luxury trailer around the country w/ an F-350 diesel and said the trip was rewarding, except for the reality of camping each night with the Great Unwashed. Most fellow campers were great, but there seemed to always be a few bad apples. Then there's the traffic, road construction, weather, etc. that can always challenge the fun. He saw a few of these behemoths at campsites and on the road, and when speaking with the owners, they had more money then God and just thought a cross-country trip was on the bucket list. He also said he has seen many more showing up on the used vehicle market than he ever saw in use. Then there's the size... You would practically need an Air Traffic Controller to assist you through a McDonalds. Sounds like an over-rated fantasy to me.

[@benissoto3324]

Wow that bus really nice.

[@JK-ri9jh]

I'm glad I'm not the only one questioning the quality of this marketing video

[@MsEnzoh]

If you're impressed by 'light through the marble' , or you think I would be impressed by it , then you're the wrong man to do the promo .

[@cdavid5524]

I thought they were gonna show us the rooms/bathroom etc. but got nothing of the sort

[@RVLivingYet]

Wow that thing is sweet, we full time RV and this would be a dream rig, we try to film all of the awesome sites where you can camp for FREE

[@rondogwil]

I laugh at people that drive up to a beautiful site in a rig like this and never get out. Why'd you burn the fuel? Just camp in your driveway.

[@kawaiisenshi2401]

[@wrzl1675]

As most of us RV owners know, Prevost has a big problem!! That SS siding is glued on and they’re famous for coming unglued and there’s no true fix for it. The other major drawback is that there’s no slides.

[@spyderlyf3]

Pretty sure your wrong on both accounts about this coach. 1:22 slides are open btw. They do have the SS panel coaches with delamenting problem..just break out another 80k to fix..

[@jaasun71]

That is on the XL model. This is an H , no stainless sides.

[@FeralPlumber]

Didn’t even show the entire interior.....

[@nlitenurmind]

Maybe if you have an extra 2 mill lying around.

[@kahless0173]

yep seeing other ones going for 2.2-2.5million. them not listing the price is a bitch move. its not like it will deter anyone who has the money to buy this rolling bank vault. a fifteen year old one with 150k miles goes for 300k. that engine isnt even broken in yet at 150k.

[@getlosttoday4045]

Wow! Great job Andre!

[@felixthecleaner8843]

absolutely outstanding - simply awesome!

[@verohandymike]

I would have wanted to see the roof filled with as many solar cells as possible to keep those batteries charged. That single panel is not enough.

[@KWlsuz20]

I love how it says "Most Luxurious and Expensive" even though, Emerald is the low cost version of the Liberty Coach converter...

[@attaat]

Jeez, the blind spots on that thing! A pillars are huge, B pillars also. The screen has a dirty great pillar in the middle of it as well...And you reckon the visibility is good!!!

[@Whitify]

This video reminds me of a conversation with a 6 year old. “Then Micheal said no more cookies. My favorite color is yellow and When I was 4 I use to wear this hat”.

[@petitchenil]

The difference between a typical DP and this one is the difference between winning a scratcher compared to the PowerBall. Cause that is what it will take to buy and maintain it. I would have to sell my current Class A to replace the batteries on that one.

[@jiceBERG]

I'm sure this complex mess is stunningly reliable too

[@silverstake88]

Nice coach. But the drive axle combo max weight allowed is 34-36,0000 lbs (depending on the spread) and 12000-14800 on the steer (depending on the axle and tire rating). That brings the total to 46-48k max. If the weight is more than that your looking at overeight tickets and getting parked.

wow amazing i like it😁👍🤗😍

[@DLTJR1959]

Out of my pay grade. If you have the $$$ why not? Great looking bus. It's over 2 million. The shell alone is over 750K. Most of these converters are very secretive about price and some require non disclosure statements. They have to make a profit and it is a really really really small market. Millennium and Liberty are the two biggies. Emerald is another one not as well known but been in business for a while and they do a fine job on the conversion. I own an 06 Wanderlodge and the systems are the same sans new technology. Bus standard build. Great review as always.

[@storymanaz]

I enjoy your videos and trust your reviews HOWEVER, I have to bust your bubble this time. Iowa Wrecker service make a better RV that is a WHOLE lot easier to tow if it breaks down and if it developes an issue while on the road while still driveable, you can take it to ANY truck stop or semi repair center and get it fixed while eating lunch inside. With a Prevost or any other RV of that style, the mechanic has to access the interior of your RV. You should check them out and do a review of them.

[@holsteincowboy]

Better RV reviews than Big Truck Big RV

[@ImYourHucklebery117]

Yup

[@charliepiland3285]

holsteincowboy, yeah he seems more focused on hawking the freebies he’s given nowadays.

[@Max34557]

Surprisingly little solar on the roof. I've seen Sprinter van conversions with more solar than this

[@overlord5580]

I have seen videos from other manufacturers ie: Marathon, Liberty, Featherlite and they say that the solar panels are not capable of producing enough power to charge the lithium ion batteries to justify their installation so, I'm quite sure that these solar panels are being used for another purpose!

[@JonnyRicter]

Solar is shit and looks ugly. They probably put that dinky one on their for some stupid environmental regulation.

[@redwolfexr]

@@overlord5580 The solar almost certainly is used to power "critical" items if the bus is parked for an extended time. Probably a few vents, water recirc, and basic lighting. So if its in long term storage it doesn't need to be connected to shore power. It keeps the generator from auto starting as much.

[@williamoverton7265]

I am sure that the engine keeps the lithium charged 96% of the time. The solar is for micro maintainance.

[@Max34557]

@@williamoverton7265 But what if you're parked in the middle of nowhere with no shore power, and stay at that same spot for a week. The solar will not be sufficient at all.

[@rightright6582]

[@cubbiotti1980]

I use to work at Country Coach in Junction City Oregon building the Prevost conversions and you wouldn't believe the stuff that goes wrong with these as soon as they leave the lot. Thousands and thousands of service $ on a coach that costs up to 5 million dollars, being built by people making a few $ above minimum wage. Lol

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

[@twonoles]

The handle on the right hand side of the wheels is actually a retarder control lever. On a B500R Allison its basically a giant torque converter built into the rear cover and planetary set that works reverse. And boy will they stop one of those busses no problem real quick.

Hey, I love them too -- but you are comparing apples and kumquats. Nobody who would be shopping for one would be interested in the other. This is for rich guys who go to specific places.. where they can get full service. Probably have a maid come in every day as well. But Roamers make sacrifices in luxury for capability. The biggest one being space.

It all depends on how you have it constructed. Some converters have these TV's hidden away in a box that protects them from damage. Emerald coach is new to the conversion industry so, they are still learning besides, these coaches are all custom built.
