History

Millennium[2] is a family owned company in the marine, aviation and luxury coach building industry. After many years of service in the luxury motorhome market, Nelson Figueroa and his wife Evelyn founded Millennium Luxury Coaches in 2000. The Figueroas launched Millennium Luxury Coaches in Sanford, Florida during the 2001 recession[3] but built the bus conversion company into a leader in the field with more than 85 employees.

Products and Services

Millennium builds Prevost XLII, X3 and H3-45 luxury coach conversions, available in multiple slide and bay configurations. In addition to new coach manufacturing, Millennium offers consignment services as well as an extensive second-hand inventory. The Interior Design Center is run by people that decorate and design custom, one-of-a-kind coaches, as well as offering full interior remodels and updates.

In 2013 Millennium started using a Savant systems custom interface, that when paired with an iPhone or iPad, allows Millennium owners to control virtually every aspect of their coach including the lights, awnings, entertainment options, security system, and even flush the toilets from across the county.

Millennium is a Prevost authorized service center equipped to provide professional collision, fiberglass and dent repair. They also provide awning installation, de-lamination, window replacement and full detailing. Additional services that can be found at Millennium are free insurance estimates, secured coach parking and RV storage.

Achievements

Facility Inside

In January 2011 Millennium was a recipient of the inaugural 2011 Florida Companies to Watch Award,[4] as selected by the Edward Lowe Foundation.[5]

July 2012, Millennium gained approval to be added to Transport Canada’s List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States, after confirming compliance with all applicable Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA).

In December 2012, Millennium Luxury Coaches announced they successfully relocated the Diesel Exhaust Fluid inlet to the drivers side of the coach. It had previously been located on the passenger side which presented a problem at filling stations because of the pump being located on the drivers side. This stirred controversy as skeptics noted it brought warranty concerns with Prevost. Prevost engineers and management visited Millennium's facility to view the modifications, giving the modifications a thumbs up and eliminating warranty concerns.[6]

May 2013, Millennium receives the Association for Corporate Growth’s (ACG) SMART Award for the field of Distribution and Transportation. [7]
