Update.... (kinda)... After comparing the Newell to the Prevost, we're leaning towards the Prevost. I will be test driving a 2014 Prevost Marathon on Saturday. If we decide to go forward, I'll start a new thread. This particular coach is not equipped like I would want it. We would order one from scratch.
The first big test is to see if the Volvo 500 hp engine with 1,750 lb. ft. of torque is adequate. There is a good test hill with a long incline that will give me a good idea if this is the route we want to take.
I didn't want to leave you guys hanging.
