Prevost vs Newell: High End Motor Coach World Explained! (Million Dollar RV's)

What happens here

The presenter clarifies terminology, explaining that what many might call an 'RV' or 'bus' in this high-end category is correctly referred to as a 'motorcoach' or 'coach'. He specifically introduces Prevost, a brand often associated with tour buses due to its distinctive stainless steel sides, identifying its different chassis types: the X chassis (XL-40, XL-45 from the 90s, and XL2 from the early 2000s) and the H chassis (H3-45 and rarer H3-40s). Prevost coaches are initially built as passenger buses and then sent to converters for RV outfitting.

Goal: Learn the correct terminology and identify the different Prevost chassis models and their original purpose.
