I have traveled in 95+ with just the dash air and stay cool. I do have to run the generator is I want to use the roof airs going down the road.

The OTR is built by country coach. Very repairable with available compressors and parts.

Good luck in your search.
An assumption on my part that the 97 was the culmination of years of perfecting the straight-axle XL. I would consider a 95/96 also, given really nice condition and some service records. A 40' CC with roof-air and CC-air is really appealing, and really rare. I like Marathon a lot, but seems like they made very few non-CA buses from the mid to late 90s. Have the opportunity to buy a nice 40' 97 Marathon, but it has CAs and open bathroom. Willing to compromise on the latter, but really REALLY struggling with the CAs.

Coming from the Bluebird world I never expected finding a nice Prevost to be so difficult (granted, it's absolutely the worst possible time to be looking). All S60 powered Bluebirds have roof-tops and dash-air, so there was never a CA issue to consider. Plus, I would say that easily 70% of the S60 Bluebirds had private toilets. I'm finding that's not the case with Prevost, as the open-bath or 'toilet in the hall' (as my wife calls it) was a very popular floor plan.
