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

What happens here

The presenter shares his personal driving experience, noting that while both are impressive, a 1995 Marathon Prevost XL (an X chassis model) offered an exceptionally smooth and solid ride, unlike anything else. He emphasizes that Prevost is designed for high-mileage, heavy-duty commercial use (like driving a million miles), with robust bay doors and infrastructure. Conversely, Newell prioritizes living comfort, offering more living space and residential-style amenities. He notes the strong, helpful community of Newell owners as another significant advantage.

Goal: Evaluate the pros and cons of each brand based on driving, living space, and owner community.

another cool thing about the Provo's is they are made of stainless steel the whole thing the frame is stainless steel and it's of a monocoque construction so that like the chassis is part of the roof and everything they were extremely safe they're really rigid they're the best driving ones on the market I've driven I haven't given a ton of these my test drove a few I drove a quad slide 2002 Newell and then right after that I drove a 1995 marathon Provo Excel 40 foot and within the first 30 feet of driving the Provo I was like wow this is nice like it was just no comparison it was such a nice driving bus and that's exactly why it's a passenger bus it's designed to drive a million miles to be is all the time the bay doors are rigid cuz you got people unloading and loading their crap all the time it's meant for like high duty-cycle high use high volume high driving it's commercial bus so that's one of the pros to them where you're the null you get a lot more living space I think and it's just designed better for living it so for my situation I was I'm gonna be full-time living whatever I get and after looking around I really felt like an old better option because of that it's better geared towards the living into things and not the traveling into things none of these things don't drive green they drive really really well but just the X chassis preggos of the 90s I've just on another level you could ask just about anybody that and they'll tell you the same thing even the guys at know or like those things are really really good and I've gotten to know a lot of people at Knoll and some of the money watch this video there are awesome people and that was another reason that I really wanted the duel over raivo is the network of new owners is so tightly knit and you would not believe it like there's a forum new gurus and basically everything you would ever need to know about one of these things is on there and it was not on there you can ask somebody and they look go out of their way to help you learn it I've learned that firsthand awesome people well that's that I'm really glad I got a Newell I'm really enjoying being
