Entertainer Shells?

[Jon Wehrenberg]

I'll stop beating this poor dead horse, but if the specs on the Prevost Car site are reviewed both the entertainer and motorhome XLII shells are the same materials for the outer and inner structures.

I'm thinking of going ahead and just having my double slide H3-45 built out and keep it since it's not selling. I have always figured on recommending the buyer I sold it to get an entertainer company to built it out since it would be less than a major name brand converter would charge. Does anyone recommend a non name brand converter or an Entertainer converter and if so, who ? The times I've been on the Entertainers, I've noticed them to be built more durable as was mentioned in this thread but the workmanship didn't particular strike me as being low quality. The hit and finish were good with the added advantage of being able to take more abuse. I presume they would work with me to build whatever floor plan I came up with and I've always thought the smaller kitchen and bath space was a good trade off for a larger bedroom, small computer work station and maybe just two bunks for guests.

Aren't our shells usually referred to as VIP shells ? This is the first time I've heard the wheel base or other things were different on a VIP and an Entertainer. I thought only the floor plans were different.

Jeff,

There are two converters in Nashville on the west side of I-24 (?) from the Prevost facility. The times I've been out there visiting family lots of coaches were on site being built/remodeled/rebuilt. I don't recall there names but Google Earth should help identify them for you. I was too enamoured looking at the coaches to consider memorizing the converters names.

I like your new avatar. I just hope you didn't lose any of your eyesight while spending those many hours trying to find a PG-13 thong on the web! I mean really, I'm sure the pictures are so small on websites that feature other than PG-13 thongs!

Later ...

Hemphill Brothers http://www.hemphillbrothers.com/ has a fabulous facility. Other than theirs, the few working entertainer coaches we've been in are built primarily as transportation machines with easily replaced surfaces. There's quite a few small converters in Nashville, one right across the street from Prevost.
