Crah, yes, the slide-out's have inflatable seals. It also does not have slide topper awnings which I will definitely not miss (flapping on windy days). It will have four large roof awnings, 2 on each side for shade and will auto close if windy. I'm not aware of the inflatable seal on the front door on the Prevost, I do have it on my Dynasty. I have an adjustable valve for it in the generator compartment. The Liberty Coach will have 3 ipads through-out the coach to control the systems (awnings, air, heat, floor heat, window shades, TV's, satellite, etc.) It will also connect with an iphone (which I don't have yet) where I can control the functions remotely.
We will NOT have Over-the-road-air on our Prevost. You cannot have it with four slides, two slides max with OTR. Some people love it and will not have a coach without it. I would rather have four slides. We will have dash air along with four roof airs that will run off the four inverters without running the genny (if I want). Our coach will be equipped with 3 Lithium Ion house batteries that have a 10+ yrs. life expectancy ($7,000 each). When new batteries are needed, these can be rebuilt at significantly less money than replacing. The genny and motor will have their own AGM starting batteries.
I really don't know much about Kevlar only hearing the word for the first time when speaking with the Marathon salesman. I saw on the Liberty Coach website that they do use Kevlar. All I know is that it does make for a nice finish.
Prevost makes two chassis, the H3-45 and the XLIII. The XLIII (newest model), has the stainless metal lower sides and the whole coach is at one level inside. On the H3-45, the driver cockpit is set a few steps lower being separate from the salon. It does give you a commanding view out the front window with this set-up. The TV is on a lift in the ceiling in that area so the TV viewing is nice. The new XLIII will only offer two slides max as the wheelbase has been extended (compared to the XLII) and can't handle the weight of four slides, only two. Still a nice chassis if it works for the customer.
