The big boy class A's
Just returned from approx. 8K mile trip from NC to OR and back. In all the campgrounds we stayed at we didn't see any of the Prevost motorhomes. Where do they stay? Am I missing something?

From my own experience with the Prevost chassis is that they are built for continuous duty and designed for long life, high mileage, applications. That is why they are used primarily by NASCAR drivers, celebrities, and other notables that criss-cross the country on a daily basis. Their livelihood depends on them getting from point A to point B and they cannot afford the occasional breakdown/delay that the rest of us have to endure in a "standard" RV. Prevost chassis coaches are built to last 1,000,000 miles as a minimum with minimal interruption of service.
I've put several thousand miles on a Liberty Prevost and all I can say is that other DP's are just wannabes. The only comparison between a Prevost chassis and a sub $500,000 DP is that they all have the engine in the rear.
Based on millions of miles of experience, Prevost knows what will last and what will not. I believe that the Prevost still comes with a two piece windshield. Many others have tried the one piece windshield, AND failed miserably. A Prevost will not shake itself apart on the road, like other coaches. They are designed for reliable long distance travel that usually includes things like 1500+ mile fuel range, large fresh water and waste water tanks, generators so quiet that you have to be right next to one to hear it running, copper plumbing, 20,000 trailer hitch as a standard, engine fires suppression system as standard, and so on.
They are not practical for everyone but are unbeatable if you plan to put tens of thousands of miles on your coach each year.
