The first we show (pictured below) is the H3-45 VIP. This has a length of 45' overall with a width overall of 102" and height overall of 149". The floor to ceiling height is 83". The body construction - structure - is of stainless steel, with the outer shell of fiber composite. A truly beautiful coach as you can see:

The XLII-Series (pictured below) are 40' and 45' coach shells with unique styling and stainless steel outer shells. These coaches have the same width overall (102") as the H3 shown above, but with an overall height of only 140". Despite this, the floor to ceiling height is greater - 86" Whichever shell is used, the converters have the basis for very beautiful motorcoaches.

Glen Faraday : I have a 2003 Prevost Country CoachVantare XLII - great coach. I have had not one problem at all. It's difficult to believe, but it's true. I had one coach before this, I'm not prepared to say the name because it was much less cost and therefore you can't really expect it to be of the same quality. Problems and more problems. But the Prevost is different. This is the way to go if you can afford it.

R. Kennedy : When will they begin including RedyTemp hot water circulators as a standard "Green Friendly" component. A couple we met had one in theirs and they loved it. Not having to wait for hot water was impressive. The install seems pretty straight forward and quick. They liked the fact that their water lasted a lot longer before having to refill.

maria : please call me for quotes onshells of luxury coach buses

Ross TX : Prevost is definitely number one for conversions. The traditionalists will always go with XL and the modernists with the H. Me? I'd settle for either.

TravlynWomyn : The Country Coach Prevost is gorgeous. My son worked for Prevost in Indiana several years ago when they built two for Dolly Parton - one for her and another for her entourage. Some of the ones I've seen at the huge Tampa show have been a bit TOO frilly, but I sure like how the Prevost sets up. For now, I'll stick with my 2005 CrossRoads Cruiser fiver - it's paid for!
