What our travelers say

"You asked what the Marathon Coach Club means to us. Short answer, friends and fun! Through club rallies, we’ve met some great people; these friendships are the most priceless benefit of the Club. And we almost always leave the rally thinking 'wow, that was a terrific few days. We’ve enjoyed experiences at the rally that we never would have had otherwise.' One other thing… the $20 discount on the hourly maintenance labor is a good deal too! 😊"

"Being in the Marathon Coach Owners Club is really like joining a cool family! We get to visit neat places and do fun things with people we share so much in common with."

"What we love most about our coach is the ability to travel with complete mobility, without compromise."
Chris Garrett
"We had been dreaming about owning a Marathon for a long time. When we decided we wanted to travel more, we realized that a special-shaped balloon would get us into nearly any balloon event, so we used that as our excuse to explore. During the summer, we are on the road three to four months at a time, traveling from event to event. We absolutely love it."
Katie G.
"Chris Lewis and his team are fantastic. They took excellent care of us, and it is clear they genuinely care about their work. Integrity and strong work ethic like this are rare."
Lisa Zachry
"As new Prevost owners, we did not know what to expect when we brought our coach to Marathon in Texas for service. Over the years, we have owned other coaches and were often disappointed with the service experience. Marathon was a refreshing change. The staff was outstanding to work with: extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. We truly appreciate the kindness of the entire team and look forward to returning for regular maintenance and any future service needs."
Brenda Gruninger
"After taking the factory tour, we were amazed by how many employees have been with Marathon for so long. It is clear that people genuinely enjoy their work. Team members took time to explain their roles and answer our questions as we walked through the facility. The attention to detail and sense of pride were evident everywhere. The positive culture gave us even more confidence that our coach was built by knowledgeable, dedicated professionals, resulting in an exceptionally well-built product."

"About Marathon rallies? Unparalleled. I had been told I would really like them and that the people were wonderful, but I was nervous. I had a stereotyped idea of what a Marathon owner was. From the very first evening, we were welcomed with open arms by veteran rally attendees. Every single person was welcoming, fun, and overwhelmingly kind. We loved the incredible organization and the fact that we did not have to worry about anything other than getting on the bus to the next venue. Food, drinks, and even simple things like water bottles on hot days were all provided. Silly, fun activities like Tolf made it even better. My advice to anyone considering a rally is to dive in with a willingness to participate. You can choose which events to attend, but honestly, we enjoyed every single one."
Cathy L.
"After touring the factory, we were blown away by how long so many employees have been with Marathon. You can tell they truly love their jobs. People stopped what they were doing to explain their work and answer our questions. Everyone has incredible attention to detail and pride in what they do. The camaraderie throughout the facility was refreshing and inspiring. It gave us great confidence knowing our coach was built by skilled, happy professionals, and that shows in the quality of the finished product."
Owner of Marathon Coach #1263
"I have been part of the extended Marathon Coach family for over ten years, and my expectations are extremely high because of the exceptional service I have always received in Oregon. On a recent visit to Marathon Coach Texas, I was equally impressed by the hospitality and professionalism of the entire team. The quality, workmanship, and service exceeded my expectations."
Rich S.
"We love tailgating at Texas Tech football games with our coach. Gary, the service manager in Grand Prairie, Texas, goes above and beyond. We are incredibly fortunate to have his support."
Jake P.
"Although I am now retired from the auto industry and primarily use my Marathon for leisure and family travel, the luxury, convenience, and relaxation it provides can elevate any business trip, wherever life takes you."
Ken B.
"A big thank you for everything you did for our coach. Your team delivers the very best in customer service, and your vision for our unit exceeded anything we could have imagined. Thank you again."
Jan O.
"Chris Welch and his team are outstanding. They are highly skilled, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely great people to work with."
Karen C.
"Twenty-two years ago, our Marathon Coach rolled off the assembly line in Coburg, Oregon, and it still looks brand new and performs incredibly. When Tasha and I visited Marathon headquarters last spring for new batteries, the team took the time to walk us through every system on our coach. They even offered a factory tour and reminded us to call anytime with questions. Our coach has been the most rewarding investment, allowing us to experience our beautiful country and spend quality time together. Thank you, Marathon Coach, for building the very best coach and for making us feel like family."
Bruce T.

"The finest coach builder in the business. All others come in a distant third. Marathon holds both first and second place."
William H.
"I have been around RVs most of my life, and when I moved to North Arlington, Texas, I was introduced to true quality. I have seen nearly every coach manufacturer, and Marathon Coach stands alone as the best. What Marathon built ten years ago is still better than what many companies are producing today."
Tim G.
"The best buses, period. Perfect for DJ entertainment and video or movie productions. Keep up the great work."
Jeffrey S.
"I took the factory tour for the second time and was once again amazed by the craftsmanship and professionalism. I would love to own one of their coaches."
Lee R.
"A Marathon Coach is the best coach made. The quality and attention to detail are extraordinary. I have thoroughly researched every brand, and no one compares to Marathon when it comes to exterior paint, interior design, and long-term reliability. The craftsmen and women at Marathon are simply the finest in the world."
Tommi T.
"Marathon service is second to none. Fantastic people and an outstanding product."
Mark J.
