Dan,
We only looked at the XLII model of Prevost. Getting into the living area of the H345 presented a challenge to my wife and her knees. We did several test drives with Newell and Prevost. I was impressed with the ride and handling of the Prevost, but the best test drive that we had was with a 2007 Newell. When we compared Newell to Prevost we felt that Newell met our needs better than the Prevost. Newell provided more slides, steerable tag axle, CAT engine, and emergency after hours number. Newell's customer service has an excellent repetition.
One feature that some of the Prevost's had was the transmission retarder. After owning two Foretravels this is a feature that I really feel strongly about. In fact it almost tipped the scales to us buying a Prevost.
Good luck with your hunt.
