I have had 2 Prevo's a 2002 that was preowned and a new 2010. Leaving the Prevo world was a hard decision as my beliefs were that they had the very best chassis period. I really did not want to up my bay space. I have about 2100 miles on the Newell now and offer the following.
The Newell drives like a car the Prevo drives like a bus.
The ride is the same.
There is more bay space in the Prevo.
There is more living space in the Newell. After spending 2 weeks in the Newell the living space is worth giving up the bay space for.
Prevo's have there chassis issues and are from from perfect and or trouble free.
The cost to maintain I believe will be about the same.
Newell support and 24 hr customer service is unbeatable.
Every coach is a compromise and points can be made as to why one is better then the other. They both have their better points and there short comings. Each converter does things a big different and have different beliefs on how mechanical things should be done and have reasons for their decisions. One thing I have come to appreciate with Newell is as custom as they build they keep there systems common so they can be supported 24 / 7. I have had to learn Newell's thinking behind their systems.
