Quick Question.  Does anyone know what the inside ceiling height is in a 1993 Prevost H3?  When I Google I can only find the exterior height.

Also while I'm here.  When did the Skin Delam issues start with Prevosts?  I think it is later than this bus, but not sure.

Thanks a million

You also could be a member of the Prevost site on Facebook. They are fantastic at answering your questions, no matter how basic.

Did you look in the Encylopedia of Buses under Prevost H3 on our Documents page?  ;)

Ok, this is new info to me.  I was not aware that there were 2 different shells.  The one I am looking at is a passenger bus, so I assume it has the larger bays.  Larger bays of course is nice, but I was hoping for more headroom since it is about a foot taller than the MCI 9.

Thanks for the insight

Thanks for your response, Gary.  I wasn't aware of this resource.  I will take a look at it.

Super, thanks for that. 

Well, that is a little disappointing.  I was hoping for my ceiling height in a Prevost, but taller bays are nice.

The VIP shell has a raised roof not lowered bays.  You can see the raise between the drip rail and the top.
