Danss,
contrary to what you know, Vantare bought the rights to Vogue from Mitchell and screwed Mitchell to the wall as they do everyone. Mitchell took it back through some further negotiations.
Consider yourself informed, I rest my case.

Amen, brother
There was once a transition time between the Vogue brand and the Vantare brand. We had looked at a Vantare that was made in Pryor, Oklahoma at the Vogue factory. Featherlite has just bought out Vogue and this particular coach's owner had the choice of a Vogue or Vantare badge and he chose Vantare. That's the story I heard. I've talked to people that worked at Vogue and they confirmed stories like that around the 2000 model year. I would guess there is very little difference between the brands in that era.
I can't confirm this but my understanding is all the Mitchell built Vogues have cabinets installed tight up against the ceiling whereas the Featherlite Vantare Vogues have a space between the cabinets and the ceiling. Why the difference I have no idea.

Lew,
I asked what was happening to the Vogue name when Amadas bought Vantare, I think there was a big shrug of the shoulders. I had also heard Parliament looked into the Vogue name quite sometime after the Featherlite purchase but it didn't happen at that time. When did you hear the information Mitchell had the rights to the name again?

Thanks for the info Sandy - I figured out you were referring to the XLII bunk coach. No thanks on the window replacement, etc. Marathon Dallas has a nicer looking 2 slide XLII Royale that is probably worth looking into.
Jenny and I looked at a beautiful 04 CC yesterday. What a beauty it is. Flying to LA in the morning and going to drop by California Coach and check out Steve's inventory on our way to visit our son at Cal-Poly SLO. Should be a fun week.:D
Gordon,
Sandy answered your questions for me, about the XLII Royale with bunk beds.
Check also the XLII Country at Ebay right now. It is for sale by Chad that is working for Marathon in Texas. Good person,
Alek
Beech,
I either mis-spoke or didn't write the facts. Either way, I guess I don't know the final outcome but I heard that it was finally either worked out or grounded. Sorry.
I have had very good luck with my 2001 Royale. Built well without frills. Monaco dealers have most small parts. Today I needed a door latch and went to Monaco Las Vegas and got one and three spares for $15.00.
Good luck, you will love a Prevost
