This 1968 Prévost Coach was used as a passenger bus from new until 1985, when it was converted into an RV. After its retirement from regular service over 30 years ago, the bus was restored and converted for recreational use at Prévost’s facility in Sainte-Claire, Quebec. It was reportedly fully rebuilt apart from the 4-speed manual transmission. The seller has owned it for six years and had the 9.3L diesel V8 rebuilt in 2014 before driving the bus on a trip across Canada. No issues were reported during the journey, and it is now offered with a clean Quebec title in the seller’s name.

The extensive stainless paneling remains in good condition, and the tri-tone blue paintwork includes a mural at the back. A crack is present at the bottom of the left windshield, though the rest of the glass and lighting appear to be in good condition.

Unlike modern coaches that typically use automatic transmissions, this bus is equipped with a 4-speed manual. The wood-trimmed dash features extensive instrumentation including a screen for a back-up camera that was added by the seller.

The forward cabin shows little wear and tear, though some components look older such as the TV over the windshield. The interior appears to be trimmed with well-chosen materials that have held up well.

The bus is fully equipped with kitchen and bathroom facilities. The stove/oven is gas only, and the fridge can run on gas or electricity. A full onboard bathroom is equipped, and includes a small bath/shower, a toilet, and a sink.

The living quarters are located aft, and are well appointed with plentiful storage in the bedroom.

Extensive under-cabin storage is available, including pass-through compartments and shallow storage cubbies with provision for toolboxes.

The bus is equipped with both a generator for independent power generation, and a large compressor for its air brakes and suspension.

The 9.3L Detroit Diesel 8V71 2-stroke diesel V8 was rebuilt in 2014 and has covered around 20k miles since then. The compressor, alternator, and starter have also been rebuilt. In 2011 the seller had a long list of items addressed at Prevost’s main facility, and the full invoice is attached in the gallery. Highlights of this $32k major service included the following:

Complete inspection

Brake maintenance

Frame reinforcement

New coolant

New radius rod bushings front and rear

New front sway bar bushings

New air springs (all eight on the vehicle), and repaired air line for springs

Clutch adjustment

Alternator rebuild

New drive axle dampers

New generator exhaust

Repaired air line for parking brake

Repaired engine exhaust

A photo of the bus prior to its conversion is included, as is a large binder and VHS tape documenting the conversion and maintenance history.

The tires are older, and though they have good tread they are dry and cracked. The seller describes driving the bus as being like a 35′ long Westfalia, and notes that it will easily do 65 mph while towing a car.
