Holstein13, they don't call the exterior fiberglass, it's called Kelvar. I can't quite explain the difference only that Kelvar is glass smooth, no ripples/dimples like in most regular fiberglass coaches.
Do you mean Kevlar? I've never heard of Kelvar and would think it would violate Kevlar's trademark.
If it is Kevlar, that is a super strong and expensive fiber that is much better than fiberglas, but if it is Kevlar, I would also expect Prevost to brag about that. But all they say is that they are using a fiber composite. I'd love to learn more about this.
Well, now you have caught me, a slip of the finger and I spelled it wrong. Prevost uses Kevlar.... it's smooth as glass and is very strong.
I typed in Kevlar in 'bing.com' and Prevost comes up as using this material.
