Built in TV and electrical receptacles in the storage bay on the "patio" side is also a nice feature. Marble floors is also a really nice feature. It has three ways to heat the coach, electric heaters, AC/heat pumps or a diesel fired Wabasto heater that heats water and circulates thru the coach and also keeps the bus engine and the hot water tanks warm.
The part I like the most I can't duplicate with the KW. It rides better and quieter than my car. I had some difficulty driving it at first. You cannot hear the engine running so I was constantly scanning the gages to see what was going on. Found that the best way to drive it was set the cruise and let it do its thing. I was also surprised at the fuel mileage, 6.4 pulling 6000# trailer loaded with 4 wheelers.
I can only hope my toter does as well.
MMM

just think w/ some solar panels you might not ever need the gen.

I wonder, for as quiet as it is, how warm is the rear/bedroom going down the road ? Not that anyone has to be back there.

My wife has finally gotten comfortable enough that she'll go in the back & sleep occasionally....but she's got to be really tired. For the most part everyone likes to sleep on the couches up front while we're under way.

ouch on the mpg. we're a consistent 9.9 mpg w/ the cruise set at 72
we've seen as much as 13 mpg (non-stop from blacksburg va to destine fl) last october.

worst I've ever seen (heavy footed, trying to make up some time & jockeying for position along i81 from knoxville to front royal va) was 8.9mpg

does the prevost have a basement cooler ? its our #1 feature....holds more (w/out ice) and we never have to worry about running out of ice or searching for ice.
