Bill,
I do agree with many of your points. Remember I own a Newell and have no desire to own a Prevost. But this is the first builder who has gotten the price of a Prevost coach BELOW a Newell. Hard for us to understand, but some people prefer Prevost coaches and I'm going to guess if this trend continues it will cause Newell some competition. Now in reducing the price $750K to $1M some things must be different than current Prevost models. In reading the press release the builder talks about taking the complexity out that many owners have criticized. And making the coaches more serviceable, which has also been an owner criticism. It sounds to me like this is the first Prevost builder who is moving more toward a Newell philosophy of less glitz and more emphasis on ease of maintenance.
