What Did A Prevost XLII Royale Look Like In 2005? (14L Detroit Diesel!!)

What happens here

Exiting the coach, the presenter demonstrates the heavy-duty, robust nature of the exterior bay doors. He points out the solid construction, including large, polished stainless steel handles and six sturdy bolts securing the hinges, signifying their design for frequent use. Moving to the rear, he opens a compartment to reveal the engine: a Detroit Series 60, 14-liter engine producing 515 horsepower, which he notes is a 'big boy' usually found in semi-trucks. He also highlights a unique feature: the belts are tensioned by air, a detail he finds intriguing.

Goal: Examine the exterior compartments and the coach's powerful engine
