I hope no one took my previous post to mean that I would pick one of the Prevost conversions over a Newell. That was certainly not the intent. My post was strictly dealing with what I have seen in Prevost conversions.
I prefer the Newell over any of the Prevost conversions.
As far as American Carriage is concerned, I have not had any dealings with American Carriage in a couple of years but at that time their slides I saw were hydraulic and were top notch. Because they build their own slides you could pick your slide size and configurations. Their website still says that they use
hydraulic slideouts but you seem to have more definite information than do I.
