I always thought that Marathon was the Rolls Royce of Prevost conversions. I don't know the difference in the slide preferences, I'll have to read about that more.
This is what we want:
-Four slides
-1½ baths
-Real wood cabinets, as I would expect in that price range
-Outside TV
-Exterior grill would be nice
-Normal interior (not flashy)
Over the road air would be nice but I'm not going to lose interior space for it. We would spend more time parked than driving. And, isn't that's what the generator is for? (interior air).
I'm not sure about the batteries. I will have to investigate that for sure.
If I could take the interior of my Dynasty and put it into a Prevost, I think I would be happy. We have the best rich looking cabinets, leather, tile, etc. I guess the tile would be marble and our Corian would be Granite.

The only thing I see on your list that may be difficult to find in a prevost conversion, especially an older one, is the 4 slides. If you are to custom order the unit new, then no problem I am sure....outlaw is making an H3 with quad slides with a price tag well over 1.5 million......
We too where looking for "no flash"....real wood, warm feeling hence why we wanted to find a Royale. Talk to brokers, owners, dealers ect...and they will tell you they love to take in Royale coaches on trade for one reason...they are known for simplicity and ease of maintenance. They also seem to be an easy sell. In the last 3 months I found 4 Royale coaches (2) 2005 and (2) 2006 and they have all sold. 2006 was the last year Royale produced.
I've had quad slides on my last 2 coaches and can't wait to get to a coach with 2 slides.
In my 12 years of RV'ing and 6 coaches from various manufacturers, ALL OF THEM have had some kind of slide issue. The week before I sold my coach in my signature, I had a slide cylinder go out....after replacing both solenoids, the equalizer cylinder and the front cylinder it finally worked again.....$6,000 repair but it had to be done because I just wouldn't have sold the coach with a slide issue that I knew about. When I was looking for a prevost one of the wise old sages who's on his 4th prevost told me to make sure the slide outs are from prevost and not the converter or after market....converter slides will have more issues. Nothing ruins a vacation more than having one or more slides fail...what a pain.
