traveling dude,
I will give you a few of our observations since we have owned XL,XLII, and an "H".. However,all were and are 45 footers.
XL vs XLII
XL has disc brakes steer & tag., XLII has disc brakes all axles
XL has single pane windows, XLII has dual pane, helps with noise, heat and cold ( no frost build up when below zero outside.
XL has manual telescope/tilt steering wheel, XLII air foot pedal activation
XL 45's needed a steering gearbox reenforcement update, XLII's didn't
XL riveted panel adher better than XLII, glued stainless.
XL front face can't be updated, XLII can
XL DDEC motors run cooler than the newer engines in XLII's
XL rear fenders are fixed in place, XLII fenders swing up which aids in tire changing, adding and running with chains on.
XL prior to around VIN T-5873 have a solid front axle, all XLII's are IFS
Older "H"3-45's, after mid 1998 have the same goodies as the XLII's. dual panes, tilt wheel operation, discs all the way around, cooler running motors, removable fenders.
We like our 2000 "H"3-45 the best out of the 3 we have had.
Softer riding, quieter, cooler running motor as opposed to our previous coach 2002 XLII Marathon.
Problem with all of them currently is Prevost has NO replacement window for the sides. We wonder when they will rectify this.
