I visited him twice and spoke on the phone at least a dozen times.  When he gets a coach in, whether it's a Prevost or a Newell, he goes through the entire coach and replaces whatever needs to be replaced.  Rip in the seat?  New upholstery.  TVs outdated?  New flat screens.  Inverter going bad?  You get the point.  And then he sells it with nothing wrong with it at a premium price.  Getting a 3rd party PPI is always a good idea, but I'm confident that the PPI will prove that the coach is solid.  In fact, I wasn't even thinking about getting a PPI when I was there based on what I saw.  Also, a quick story about my experience with PPIs: I brought the coach that I have now to Newell for a PPI since I bought it from a private party.  $1800 later they said the coach was solid.  In retrospect what that meant was nothing was currently broken.  What that does not mean is that the shocks and airbags and seals were all on the verge of imminent replacement!  Of course they don't tell you that part.  So was the PPI really worth it?  With a private party sale I would still say yes especially if this is your first coach.  With Excalibar I know Doug already went through the coach and checked and replaced all the expensive parts.
