The Most Expensive Motorcoach in the World! 2023 Liberty Coach Artist Series

The foreign Liberty Coach has done it again, Frank, unlike anything we've seen. What's happening Sir, happy new year to you and to the viewers, I'm sure this is

2023

, it's a special

series

we did for a client, everything is blackout. on the exterior and interior it has some different changes, we are very excited to show it to you, to the best of my knowledge, Liberty Coach makes the

most

expensive

coach

in the

world

. What's different about Liberty Coach that you can command? It's so premium, well, the interior design that my brother Kurt and his wife Kim do, putting it all together, a lot of manual work is done, although some of the things are done on a machine, there is a significant amount of manual work to be done. bringing those thoughts and dreams together so that they come together, the quality of the finishing work when everything is done, the technology we use inside the

coach

plus the electrical architecture that includes the Volta lithium ion system, which is extremely

expensive

not only to buy, but Implementing the finishing work we do within the Bays is second to none when we look down we can see everything is in place as it should be, it's not like it was just dumped there and wherever it landed.

It was put that there is a lot of thought process there for the weight balance and how the coach handles as well and then we have to go outside as far as the paint scheme, the Dean Locks paint jobs that are on the coach are also extremely expensive, so the entire package itself is important just to buy it and on top of that you have to add the labor that we all know today. Labor is extremely expensive, so in a short time it is not difficult to determine where the price differences really come from. and as far as I know you are the only one that has a lifetime workmanship warranty for the original owner.

The trainer has been taken care of so you know there is a cost factor to that and what that number is is very difficult to determine because again, the way we built the trainer we don't really have to worry about it too much now. We're looking at early

2023

. We just left Liberty Coach celebrating its 50th anniversary. We have been building coaches for essentially 54 years. This coach that we are looking at here now will be coach number 896. each. of them is hand made, hand massaged and well cared for, so there is a lot to say about it, yes sir, and this is

artist

series

number 20.

I see we have now seen some of Dean Loucks' paint schemes from the

artist

series, right? able to reveal how much additional cost it is for a number of artists compared to just regular Liberty Coach, it's a little difficult for me to determine that because I'm outside of that Loop, so that's something the client does with Dean. specifically, we have a package that we do that is part of our cost of the coach when we do the interior of the entire package and then when the design process starts with Dean, he can throw in some things to say Hey, listen, this is part of a series of artists or this is what it is and then it builds from there so it's hard for me to determine what it is yeah the other thing too is we're the only company that has a

world

renowned artist doing the exterior of the coach, but we also have, I would consider world-renowned people doing the interior.

The number of coaches that Kim and Kurt have under them is over 600 units, so there is a complete package here between the interior and exterior of the coach. that makes Liberty Coach what it is, yes sir, absolutely fine, can we take a closer look at this coach? I mentioned before that this is a series of blackouts. You can see the wheels here are custom black wheels from American Racing Wheel Pros and then made by Dean Louks. some custom work there we also get here to the first bay our traditional design that has the two slide out trays again our slide out trays are the lowest profile in the industry these are trays that we make ourselves now is there a reason for you?

We have manual sliding trays instead of electric sliding trays, so power slot trays are an option that we have, but if you do that, you will lose about three and a quarter inches in the height of your bay by doing that, so we have offered that. On different occasions people have said okay, maybe we'll do one instead of two because they don't want to lose the height of the bait. Our toolbox. We normally always provide trainer storage drawers above the second bay. here again we have a slide out tray, this takes up three quarters of the way across the coach, we have the storage drawers up here, we put a lot of labels on the coach because not everyone uses the coach every day or daily. so we label a lot so you can go over what certain buttons do and you don't forget what they do, how they work, they get more storage drawers here when we go through this, it's hard to see. on camera, but when you look at how the edges are done, how all the cabinets are finished, if you look at that on a new coach, look at a 10 or 15 year old or older, that Liberty Coach and you're still going.

To see that all of that still retains its quality, it has to do with how we put everything together, it is made for the long haul, that is why we are never afraid to take a trainer here at Liberty Coats that is 10 years old or older. The RV trade-in could be 20 years old. It must have something to do with there being no squeaks or rattles for the original owner. There's a 65-inch TV here in the compartment. The mechanism that comes out is manufactured by Liberty Coach. How long has Liberty been around? The coach has been using this mechanism.

I think I'll go back to 2013. Now we're going to use it for about 10 years down here, in the second bay, on the front wall, you have the Moritz octuplex 110 and 220. volt electrical panel, they all work with remote control, you can see the lights of our compartment or the cargo lights that we have here, these have also gone out. Third bay, here we have the Kenyan grill that we supply, this is where it is stored. Get it out of here and then plug it into a table. We have outlets on the base so we can plug the unit in and we also chose to have a wine cooler down here, as opposed to a normal refrigerator that we normally have.

Crestron panel here that will operate all functions from outside or inside the coach. There is also a handheld remote control for operations of the exterior functions. Note that the back screen is an image of the paint job for this layer. It is something that is programmed. each Liberty Coach, so each Liberty Coach has its own unique background. Graphics or wallpaper, if desired, is a copy of the exterior paint job on the coast, making it unique to each storage drawer above. Here we use all the space we can in the other. The side of this cabinet is going to be the Volta lithium ion system and the three 5000 watt inverter units that are in there, which is a 58 volt system.

Two of those inverters are also stacked so we can run 220 volt equipment off of them and also the washing machine. The dryer, the quick oven uh the wolf uh, which is a microwave and a convection oven, can also run on that and I don't know anyone else in the industry that uses three 5000 watt inverters. How many ACS can you run for how long? Can you get those ACS working? In a typical system like this that has two 58 volt packs, you can easily run one of the roof air units depending on the outside temperature for 15 hours before the generator starts.

You can run two. Air conditioning units for eight hours, seven and a half to eight hours, so the longevity of what we have here is second to none. It would have to have 38 8D batteries which you are used to seeing in

most

coaches out there. capable of matching what we have in this package and those 38 batteries would only do that once, so we are looking at a longevity of 20 to 25 years, so it is a completely different way of doing a home electrical system, it is something we've been doing since trainer number 806, we're now on trainer 896, so we have 90 of these units that are working and it's the best decision we've ever made. storage drawers here, the other side of this wall goes to be the DEF tank, you can fill the depth on the driver's side of the coach, your fuel is in the center area.

Here we have 220 gallons of fuel that can be fed from both the passenger side and the driver's side, a thing that is unique. Prevost, unlike other companies that I see and use their product, you have to fill the diesel in a different place than you have to fill deep or in the other part you have to get down on your hands and knees to be able to feed the coach or Duff because everything is so low that this is built thanks to the response and integration that Prevo has done for a hundred years, almost 100 years, listening to operators and users, what is easier. to fuel a coach, how is it easier to put death in a coach?

There are so many different things that the Prevost chassis has over any other chassis, just in terms of longevity and serviceability than any other product available, and Prevost does so much more than just the size of the motorhome, do you know how many coats a year that Prevo built at one point, there were up to a thousand, they were probably comfortable and from seven to eight hundred units a year there is a significant amount that goes to Shell? business that we are considered in, every one of the performers on the road have Prevost chassis, whether it's an X3 or an h, and then they have significantly taken over the tour bus industry in recent years and Some of the Greyhound products you see will be on the X3 platform.

Now we're back here in the fifth bay on the passenger side, as you can see the traditional Liberty Coach will have a very polished rear end. here we've gone ahead and crossed out this section, so what's unique about this is that we did this in a situation where when this trainer goes on sale, if someone wants the traditional way of doing it, it's extremely easy for us and you We've brought back what we had previously or what we've done previously, so it was a little bit of a challenge to get that working properly, but we think it's going to be good in the long run, yeah, I don't think it can.

I'm looking at some Raven, is there any Chrome in this trainer or not? We get to the other side and you might be a little surprised by what you see there. We've made the adjustment here that traditionally it will be the polished stainless steel is also darkened, but again, this material can easily be changed to fit the stainless steel. You have a pressure washer here in the rear engine passenger side compartment and you have the DI tanks that are in the first bay. on the driver's side, which we'll see when we get there, we chose whether or not to install our traditional polished belt guard back here so you can see all the alternators that are here for the main engine, as well as the alternators for The Volta has 20 000 KW of alternator power here, so we can charge those packs from a 20 percent state of charge to a hundred percent within two and a half to three hours of driving down the highway. that's unprecedented, so normally when you drive you probably don't even need to use the generator, there's no need for the generator, most of our customers don't even know why they have a generator here on the driver's side, as you can see .

The blacked out wheels are now what we traditionally have as far as the polished stainless steel area of ​​the Liberty Coach here for the tanks and the areas here, all of this has also been blacked out and has a totally different look than we've seen before, how has Have people been responding? or probably not many people have seen this coach this will be the first time anyone has seen it yes sir yes sir fourth compartment on the driver's side this can be a closet if one wishes or we have the storage containers here in the generator compartment, so again All of this has been crossed out of the traditional high polish and it's a 12 and a half KW Onan, so because of the extra power from the batteries that we have we were able to reduce the size of the generator so we didn't have to get involved with death, so that we are a complete level four package with the Volvo engine as well as the less particulates there are in the 12 and a half KW Onan unit compared to the larger units and is there a weight difference between the 20 kW generators that you used to use, I'm sure there was, you know, when we used to do the slide-out trays, the airbag suspension, the physical weight of the 20 kW of wiring that would go with it, so there's probably three to four hundred pounds.

There you could probably easily get out of the second bay on the driver's side. We have the electronics here all the way to our transfer case. We have circuit breaker panels for the differentDC charging panels for the Moritz Octuplex system, all of which are electronically programmed circuits. switches and we have what is called BMI or the battery management box for the Volta system. This always has to be connected to 50 amps. No, if you want to store the coach and do not have the ability to plug it in. You can easily turn off the coach instead of having to go to these battery switches and the batteries lose their life while sitting.

In fact, you can come here and press a button and you can turn off the trainer completely and this state, if you're at a hundred percent charge, you come back three, four months later, you press that button and you're ready to go so it comes back for complete to a complete clean reset of all the systems that are like this, unlike the typical battery systems out there, you would have to charge them again before you even think about turning anything on or everything would start to get unhappy, yes sir, and They have instructional videos on their website that explain that to Liberty Coach owners and those instructional videos are exclusive to Liberty Coach owners.

Yes, there is an owner portal located on the Liberty Coach website and people who own the coach must email us specific criteria and we will then send them the password to enter. Now we have the first bay on the driver's side and this is where the DI tanks for the pressure washer system are located. Some chrome still has a polished stainless steel lip, though the reason. The fact that we left something there was because of what we considered high traffic areas. High wear areas so we thought it probably wouldn't look as good after a period of time so we would leave it.

Yes sir. Look around you. the exterior of the coach the lighting that is on our cargo lights our exterior lighting that is completely turned off as well as the lighting for uh the turn signals and the position lights have all been smoked the door handles have been painted through this series of artists actually takes the paint and vinyl graphic painted vinyl graphic across much of the window that you see here and when we're inside the coach you can still see how much you can see outside the coach with that covered, the Mirrors have also been darkened on the outside of the coach, so it has a unique look and we are very excited to see the response, yes sir, and very quickly.

I'm noticing that the paint scheme continues through this little sensor here through blind spot detection. system yes, so they are all installed before the coach goes to Dean's workshop and they will check them and paint them, the layer of paint, the thickness of the paint, the size of the metal, everything has to be regulated so that we do not interfere with the sensitivity of the radar system so you know that the paint that's on those parts and the metal is going to be different than what's on the railcars, you totally know that, so that's a completely different aspect of where the costs are as well, yeah Sir, I don't know.

I know if I've seen this before, there's like a little light bar in the front, it's something new, yeah, that the client asked for it to be done, so this thing that fits in with everything there is going to be bright, yeah, certainly, snow mountain, yes, sir, well. Do you think we could take a look inside? I hope we can, yeah, let's make it absolutely awesome. Liberty Coach has done it again. What are we seeing here, sir? Well, this is a 2023, this is a triple super slide in the rear, uh, which is the what? It has been called super sweet.

This is a one and a half bath that has the extended galley layout with the waterfall. Edge this single chair here with a desk. This arrangement has become very popular because most people do not use the front seat most of the time. They are switching chairs from front to back just to make sure the wear pattern on them looks the same. The client wanted to make the stand L-shaped instead of the traditional bar layout that we have done, which is now the second one. The first time you've seen this here it worked really well, the finishes and the textures that were done here were done in collaboration with the owner and Kim turned out really great as far as the feel of the whole coach also has a bit of a sailing feel to it more modern, yes, very light here, yes, sir, cabin.

The layout we have here is the same one we've been doing essentially since the 2016 model year. On the left side, across the width, are 18 different molds that span this. This was completely designed by my brother Kurt. We reviewed and made new equipment so we could sew. We do all the upholstery in-house on this, so it's a big hit. work to do the whole arrangement, we have a monitor on the center pillar here that we make our own support and our forward tilt also knew a little bit about the new upholstery design here that we have for the driver and passenger seat. iPad Pro, the 12-inch iPad Pro here, does all the interior and exterior functions of the coach.

This panel is unique, it has an additional screen for the cameras that are on the coach. You have the exterior camera with pan and tilt. We have the 360-degree panoramic view camera that Liberty Coach was the first to install on the late 2016 2000 model, which the other companies have been using in recent years. We also have a rear view camera, so we have a proper camera. on the engine door, that sole purpose is to look down at the hitch and the hitch ball of the trainer, so you have a lot of view here, turning the turn signals on and off, we will change the cameras to the 360 ​​system, so So you can see what's going on, you also have the blind spot detection system, those indicators on both driver and passenger side windshields, which is exclusive to Liberty Coach and has been since the 2021 model year coaches. that begin with the number 865.

That is a The radar sees one lane on each side of the coach plus about 25 feet behind the coach, so when a car or truck is approaching your trailer or tow vehicle, you will be able to get that indication here too. Prevost has in the last two years created an advanced driver assistance package that has a camera mounted on the passenger's windshield that helps in the collision warning system that applies a lot of braking if you are on top of someone and that also has to see with the adaptive system. cruise control system that they have and now the lane departure system, so they also have lane departure, so the safety aspect of what we have here is superior to anything.

This coach has the driver's air conditioning system, so you have two. systems here you actually have one that works across the entire front of the coach. Here you also have an auxiliary system that blows behind the driver and passenger area, so I normally use the coach with the driver's air conditioning in the kitchen ceiling air on and the bedroom reference and I can assure you that from here to the coach bathroom area will be in a snowmobile suit. It can get cold up here, yes sir, the engine area, we're trying to keep that area comfortable. because obviously we have some heat in the engine that comes up, that's why we run the bedroom air that goes down the road.

We have a couple more things here in this that are unique. We have some lighting inside the stair area here. on the bands they stayed at night the textures that we have here are finishes one thing that people will say when they come in or specifically this this client when he came in they have built boats they have made other coaches that they were not prepared for how We are detail oriented when we select all the fabrics and all the finishes that are on the coach that they are used to. Hey, this is the way we do it.

You have this color. You have that color. We ran out. here in a couple of hours this is a process that takes a good day and a half and they were surprised by how detailed we are when they left, they felt extremely comfortable that the coach was going to come out perfect and they were surprised when They, when they saw it , yes sir, you noticed that this monitor is a little different from what we have seen. This is a new Crestron thermostat. There are two of these that are in the codes. There is one here. There is one in the bedroom.

You have a specific purpose. for the bar heating system, then it is what activates the automatic heaters or fans that are in the car. There are seven of those fans that are inside the carriage and then there's actually one of the two that are down in the Water Bay Bay on each side and then there's one in the front bay that has to deal with the system. EI that's in the front bay for the pressure washer, so we have 83,000 BTUs of heat in the S Bar system. which then also heats up the main engine realistically, this coach can survive about 65 degrees below zero and be able to start the main engine and start.

I know because I've done it, wow, wow, and being 72 degrees inside the coach and none of the water systems freezing, those are the climates we designed the coach for. It's got some a little bit different details here on the backsplash with the mosaic feature that we have here, yeah, totally different pattern than I've seen on our paper. towel rack what we do here yes sir inside try to keep everything clean off the counter yes sir Wolf induction stove they wanted to make an espresso machine instead of the Keurigs or Brew Express units, the Wolf Speed ​​oven which is a microwave in addition to an oven full convection many storage drawers here all the lining we make inside has been changed from some previous trainers to make it sturdier than fabric please phone we make this material with rubber texture on the area under the sink so you know you're usually going to put cleaning supplies and things like that that are easier to clean up if something spills.

This is a little different than what we've done on the last few cars, where we're building a box to bypass the drain. the sink to have more storage space in the coach instead of having all that dead space under something that you've pointed out in the past, every cabinet that you open has a light and that's something that costs too. a labor factor and a part so that each cabinet has a light when you open it, whether it's a lower cabinet or an upper cabinet, and that's something else you challenge the rest of the manufacturers that don't do it. do it, yes, indeed, very quickly.

I have to take a look at these apartments. This is a really different texture and style, but a beautiful very light colored floral, yeah, it's great and it gives it a bigger spatial feel when you do it. We are also inside the coach, everything is heated, the mats that we make there are sandwiched in another subfloor that is on top of the subfloor that comes from Prevo and then it has to be finished perfectly because this material is very thin and over time. would begin to telegraph any imperfections through it, so there is a significant amount of labor involved in flattening and smoothing all of this out before laying the floor.

Mirror treatment here, this was something the client wanted to get as more antique field to add more to how the interior looks, that's not the easiest thing in the world to find these days, yes sir, yes sir, so we have the pantry unit here, all slide out, fully lit, as well as the built in unit. Fisher Pay Kel refrigerator-freezer unit, we've talked about that in the past, about how you don't even know it's actually a refrigerator that's in there, the center bathroom is amazing and, again, these doors, this is a pattern different style than chevron pattern.

Yeah, really cool again, everything solid, no rattles and all those stores are built by Liberty, so they're all built by Liberty Coach. The molding here is made of hardwood when you go around to the other side and look at the upholstered walls. amount of work that can be labor intensive to build those walls and finish them. I like the artwork and the half bath and washer dryer are here as we enter the bedroom area and then this is what is called super sweet. unlike the traditional slide room. This is 40 inches longer than the standard slide room packages that you get from Prevost, so it's the same on both sides of the coach, so this area is huge and then starting with the 2020 model, Prevo of your coach made this driver's side rear slide six inches deeper to match the depth of the front slide, so they are both 30 inch deep slides, this essentially becomes almost 11 feet here in these slide rooms length-wise , something we don't talk about a lot is how big our hallways are, I mean, you can walk through here, you have a lot of room, this is something my dad would always do when we were building a coach, he held out his arms, you know, can I do it? enoughroom to pass the same with the showers, make sure you have enough space inside, many of the other manufacturers everything is very tight.

One thing Kirk does when designing the interiors is build the cabinets to match the profile. From the Prevost chassis, instead of just building straight wall cabinets, we are building to profile so we can have more storage and more interior space to workout as we enter the Super Suite, if you like, we have cabinets on both sides. of the bed, large wide closet drawers that are enormously deep, we also have closets on the passenger side that are a good size, large basket underneath, we have many exits on the coach and you will probably notice that exit that is inside the closet here .

You never know if you want to plug in a vacuum cleaner or do something you know inside the closet, we have that ability. Nice, good drawer storage here, storage on both sides of the TV again, everything lit, big closet here again, nice big doors below. I like the mirrors are on both sides of the closet doors, exactly so with both doors here, ladies love this because they can see behind them. You know, yes, yes, sir, yes, sir, listen, listen, yes, sir, and then, of course, the bathroom here, which is. You know they talked about us needing light, we have a lot of light, yes sir, yes sir, I'll let it pass.

Here yes, it shows that part in the size of the shower. Yes, I think there is additional lighting in the bathroom as well. I can see it from the shadows on the camera, extremely bright back here and, wow, this is different. I'm trying to identify it. What is different about this shower that has to do with the marble that has a tiled area? Yes, and this is so cool, almost like a splash guard inside the shower. A nice little niche for your soaps and what do you have now? Bidet toilets are becoming a lot more popular and we are getting more and more requests for them so we have the ability to include them so it is an option for people, if they want to do it safely it can be added later of the fact because we can obtain the power. and the water is essentially right behind it, so we can get the job done very well and we have all the electronics in this closet, so everything is very well laid out, easy to maintain, anything that needs to be reset.

All of that is moved back here too, so it's easy to access a lot of storage space above the vanity on both sides, plus you have storage here and then of course you have plenty of storage space in the vanity area as well. dresser. the backsplash here matches the backsplash that's in the shower niche so it all comes together nicely Frank. I really appreciate you taking the time to show this beautiful trainer to me and the people on YouTube now if anyone is a serious buyer and wants it. to place a custom order for a new Liberty Coach, can you discuss pricing?
