Tom,

Newell is a motorhome. The Newell chassis is built using bridge truss construction; very strong. It is built from the ground up as a motorhome. It is custom designed so that all of the major components are located so that maintenance is facilitated. This is a big advantage when you are paying $$$$/hour for maintenance.

Prevost primarily builds buses. There are converters who purchase a shell from Prevost and build a motorhome inside of the shell.

BlueBird is out of business but IMO built a very strong chassis and a good motorhome.

Foretravel is still in business and they build a very good motorhome.

I just like Newells because I have owned them for 20 years and I am familiar with the systems.

Hope this helped you. If you would like to talk send me a PM and I will give you my cellphone number.

Good luck on your search!
