I can't get the pictures downloaded--I'll figure it out sooner or later.
I really don't need help spending money, I'm married. [hope that is PC].

The answers here about the V is very much in keeping with what I have been told. A few folks said it denoted a 'type' of 45', that there could be an XL45 and XLV45.

Thanks , Larry

XL, XLV, XLII, H340, H345, are all Prevost type designations. It all started with the Prevost LeMirage XL, a forty footer, which morphed into the XLV, a forty five footer.

When the XLII came out I do not recall seeing a designation to denote a 40 or 45 footer.

The H340 was actually 41 feet, and it also had a 45 foot version, the H345.

If you really want to go deeper Prevost makes a conversion shell (which is what we all drive), an entertainer shell and a seated coach. All you have to decide is if you like stainless or the painted look, and if you like stainless you (or your budget) has to decide if it likes rivets or smooth sides.

We won't go into variations of the windshields or powertrains.

I didn't forget. Prevost does not appear to denote a slide in the shell designation.

I mentioned the entertainer version in the forth paragraph.

Peter, thanks for clearing that up for me.
