Entertainer vs Motorhome

[Jon Wehrenberg]

When Prevost is producing the new shells they are going to have some changes. On the XLII style the stainless will now stop at the top of the bay doors. The bays have been changed and I think the fuel tank relocated and all shells including the MH are going to have the longer wheelbase of the entertainer shell.

Right now an XLII wheelbase for a MH is shorter than the entertainer shell although the lengths are the same. Next time you see a Prevost on the highway look at the rear overhang. On a MH shell the length behind the rear wheels is longer than the entertainer. On the MH shell there is a small compartment behind the tag axle. On entertainer shells the rear wheels are moved back and only the perforated radiator and eingine doors are behind the tag axle.

Yes, but why are they going to model based on the E? Is it because of the load behind the tag or some other reason? Will increase turning radius - that's not good - unless the front wheel radius will change. Where can one find information on the next generation Prevost chasis for the MH or are you saying there really isn't a next generation they are just discontinuing the MH and rolling only E's off the line.

Prevost web site has the info,they are just not building enough XLII to justify a MH only version.I have heard that the new one with the Volvo D 13 will also have a 19,000 LB front axle.
