This reminds me of my thought process before I bought my first Newell. I'm not sure what the overall advantage is for a conversion application but I am somewhat partial to the stainless steel construction of the Prevost. The Prevost bus has an image with a lot of folks that would make Prevost the only choice for them. I don't see myself ever being in the position where I can justify the initial cost of a new Newell or a bus conversion. That being said, I would rather buy a used Newell that was not compromised during construction in order to meet a price point. I find the picture on Emerald's web-site interesting. It appears that they are using some kind of foil-backed insulation. Every Newell I have seen uses the sprayed in foam...A much better method in my opinion.
