Dougjpr, I didn't take your post as a 'shot' at Prevost at all.
Prevosts are made of a Kevlar composite material giving the exterior a very smooth look. The 'H' chassis, which we have, doesn't not have the lower stainless panels as we have a full body paint job. The chassis's that have the stainless lower body are the 'XL' chassis (Prevost makes two type chassis's).
The Prevost 'empty shell' chassis's are driven from Sainte-Claire, Quebec, Canada, to the converter to be turned into a motorhome. The slides are installed at the factory. There is a small driver's seat for delivery.
The coaches are completely painted first before anything is done on the inside. Then, the conversions starts. The passenger side windshield is removed to install the larger items. It's a very interesting process.
Some people debate on buying a used Prevost rather and a new manufactured coach. Prevost's are really timeless. A 15 yr. old coach is often mistaken as new.
MM.
