Prevost questions

If I was looking, it would be 1999 to 2002 chassis model.  Around late '98 two great improvements came out; the new style instrument panel with integral diagnostics (prior to this a DDC Pro Driver was optional), and the twin Bosch 140 amp alternators.  Coming from the standpoint of commercial service, the Bosches were far superior to the Delco 50DN.  Also, you will have the Knorr-Bremse disc brakes on all wheels (now Bendix).  The best brake system out there.  Also, you would have a non EGR DDEC IV engine which has better diagnostic and reporting software compared to DDEC III.  We experienced no problems with our 2001 XLII's with IFS.  'Course we had no problems with our '99 H's with axles either, LOL.  As always, strict maintenance and inspections equate to long life.  JMHO

I might add also that Prevost tech support is unmatched in the industry.  I might qualify that by saying that I was a commercial operator and not private and I always delt with regional service managers (and occasionally the North American service manager) and not the 800 tech hot line.  So can not comment on what service they provide to motorhomers.  I could call 24/365 and explain the problem and the person on the other end could tell me what was wrong and how to fix it.  You can't get better than that.  Do I like Prevost?  Best on the road if you ask me.  Not to knock MCI, we had them too. But that was then and this is now.  I left the industry in 2005, it might be different now.
