If ever I were fortunate enough to be in this market, the Prevost would be the only option for me. With a coach that large and heavy, I want something designed first and foremost to be safe rolling down the highway at speed.
@@rnordquest not saying it's unsafe by any means, but I was a professional driver for many years and I know the testing that the Prevost chassis has undergone to prove it's safety for passenger carrier service. RV chassis are not held to the same standard.
I really like the front end design of the Prevost. Also the storage bays seem a lot easier to load and unload as opening are bigger, even if they are a quad slide.
Remember Prevost, who designed as a bus to transport people plus all their luggage, that's why there's more luggage space. If you had the money I would strongly recommend Newell, it's built to your specifications. Both a great motorhomes with my preference would be Newell every time. I'd like to make one correction, they both have engines not Motors. Motors are electric, engines are combustible. As of yet you cannot by either one of these coaches with the motor. Today is June 10th 2022.
I have learned so much about these RV’s. In would really like to see some of the “high end” super C’s thrown into the mix. Some Renegades, Showhauler, etc.
Great Video Andrew, and so much information with Brad. I have personally reached out to Brad and he responded immediately and was a wealth of knowledge and so nice. You can't go wrong with this company and what they have in the showroom. Thanks for bringing this to all of us out here in RU-vid land. I hope you are having a great day.
Retirement is soon and for us a 2013-2017 Newell mid entry quad slide is the ticket. I shopped both and while yes a prevost is nice and well done the Newells are on a whole next level. Prevost you take a bus and make it a motorcoach. A Newell was designed as a motorcoach a huge difference. The interior room on Newell is crazy plus having the driver and passenger seats available as living area makes a huge difference. The other thing after driving both the Newell with comfort steer and steerable tag axle is again much better than Prevost.
Seems to me that Newell is for the very experienced high end coach buyer. People who have learned over time their specific wants and needs that may not be standard fare for most coach builders. There seems to be nothing that Newell won't do, for those willing to pay. Nice upload, quite interesting, many thanks Andrew.👍
Obviously the Newell is flashier, more exotic, more custom. The Prevost chassis really depend which builder is building it, if it will be as nice as a Newell. But the Newell is the hot rod of the RV world.
Love these videos with real expert discussions. Personally I like Newell better, but if I was using it for business such as a band or race car driver, I'd go for the Prevost for the storage.
Every time I see Brad I just get more and more impressed by his knowledge and easy going way of dealing with business. It’s also quite staggering that he insists on the quality of the products that he sells after his company finishes with them. Top dude 👍🏻😉
Andrew I commented on one of your videos about the difference of a prevost and a Newell. I really appreciate your grind… Don’t ever stop your grind💯💯💯💯
Great interview, he answered all the questions complete. Very courteous for an owner of a company, sometimes they rush through everything. Great information 👍🏻
It's like Brad said, It depends on if you value the space more in the basement or the salon. I personally love the tall ceilings and quad slides in the Newell not to mention all the custom built to order details from the ground up, not just a build out on an existing shell. The devil is in the details and it sounds like Newell has improved immensely to the level of Prevost or greater.......Great comparison video Andrew! Can't wait to upgrade to one of those babies!!!
Newell is all about customization and that's the nost important thing when you're buying a new motorhome as first owner in my opinion. If I'm buying an used one (especially more than 10 years old) i probably choose Prevost over Newell because it has timeless design with so little differences.Also old Newells don't look pretty as the lastest P50 model i think. Great video as always. Be safe Andrew.
Newell v prevost. Being 6 ft 5" I would take interior head room over luggage space height. While I will never own either 😭 It appeared to me you buy a prevost ,and then with experience you have a Newell built for you,to your exact spec's. 👍
One comparison I’d love to see is usability of space while underway on the road… can a passenger even get to the rear washroom in a quad slide when retracted ? One thing I was alway told was to see the coaches with slides in first to determine if the floor plan still works.
Oh the cabinets from the top are longer and I like that because they looked more proposition to the down cabinets , it looks more even , more smarter !.
To me it is important to remember that the Prevost was designed to go down the road and carry passengers. Thousands were produced and errors of design were corrected. They were slow into the slide market because they felt it was a compromise to safety. Newell on the other hand was more of an extended experiment. They could be innovative vs. Prevost but with very limited numbers and less engineering they were at risk with the innovations. I will say what comes from several metal barns on the north side of Miami, Oklahoma is truly amazing and it seems to get better with time. Detroit diesel is almost bullet proof but I do not see the same with Cummings. That is just opinion but it comes with more than a decade of DD ownership. If its all about the chassis, I would give the edge to Prevost. But either one has more than its share of issues. One guy put it right on the back of his fiberglass wonder “little boy’s toys - grown man’s nightmare”.
The Cummins is as good a engine as you get today. I'm not a expert in these coaches as there all out of my price range but wouldn't this be more equal if they compared a Liberty coach.
What an objective review! First, he selects an H-series Prevost instead of an X, and then spends the majority of the review complaining about the low driver position and reduced headroom in the Prevost (the latter about 6 times), when choosing an X-series Prevost would mitigate these complaints. There is, in fact, no discussion of the X series whatsoever, and he says that's the headroom you're going to find "in a Prevost." Look at many of the comments--so many people are unaware that the X series even exists, much less recognize the headroom difference, and believe all Prevosts have the H-series headroom. He says the Newell power plant is "night and day" better when the Prevost's Series 60 has been arguably the best truck engine in the industry for two decades. Ask a truck mechanic. The interiors of both are almost entirely custom, yet he points to the decor, layout, and bedroom size as problematic when it represents the build choices of the original owner and doesn't represent either manufacturer. And virtually everything he pointed out in the Prevost interior, other than the much larger windows, represents the converter, not Prevost. Finally, how about discussing safety? Stainless chassis construction vs unfinished steel? The Prevost structure and chassis (that center windshield post has a purpose!)? Bradley's review was approximately as balanced as a news report on MSNBC, and he did a disservice to first-time buyers by conflating the interior amenities with the chassis manufacturer. If the intent were to compare Prevost and Newell, the review should have been on the chassis, drivetrain, reliability and driveability and stopped there. And if the intent were to discuss interiors, it should have been between Newell and Liberty Coach, not Prevost. Apples and oranges.
Andrew, If you think of these questions as you going, (Spontaneously) You are my Hero! This is Why You are the best in the Business! When I grow up I want to be just like you! PS: I'm 62 so I'm looking for a time machine! ;^)
Really enjoyed the information content. Thanks so much for doing this one..been waiting to hear the comparison from an experienced owner of both units.
SAL LUATI SI PE ANDREW CU VOI CA ARE EXPERIENTA SI AMPREUNA CU BRAD CADEYI DE COMUN ACORD ESTE GREU DAR XTITI SI VOI VA TREBUE SA LUPTAM SPUNETIM CU CE PROBLEME VA CONFRUNTATI SI REZOLV ACESTE PROBLEME EU .
Andrew - I had heard that the Prevost has it all over the Newell relative to safety and structural integrity, with the example being the framed windshield and the aluminum structure throughout. Any validity to this?
I'm not 6 foot anything, but the headroom in the Prevost is almost a deal breaker. Damn, and I think the Prevost is cooler looking, too. Plus, I don't know if Newell is made to drive a million miles like a Prevost.
Ford versus Chevy. In this instance it's more Lamborghini versus Ferrari. Both are great. The only differences that I can see is Cummins versus Volvo, mid entry door option on a Newell, an Aluminum skin on a Newell versus stainless steel or fiberglass on a Prevost. You will see very few 4 slide Prevost's out there, mostly 2 slides. Newell does a whole lot more 4 slides. Take your pick. My personal preference is Newell.
My Uncle wants to know if you can buy a Newell without the slide outs? FYI: When Prevost had Detroit engines, the company was owned by GM then sold to Diamler, the parent company of Mercedes, Freightliner and Western Star. For Newell, Caterpillar got out of the truck and bus engine business due to the new emission headaches in the trucking industry. Now each truck manufacturer use Cummins or their own engines.
Personally, I think 'visually' I much prefer the Prevost over Newell... As for 'slides', it doesn't really matter if we're talking 3 slides or 4...IMHO, the more slides there are, the more chance of something (motor/track) breaking..! ;-) If you truly want a 'custom coach', *Featherlite* gets my vote! :-)
Knows this is an older (2 years ago) video but one comment in here made me scratch my head. In talking about how they drive the comment was they are both fine like a Rolls Royce and Bentley. I, in particular, question that. First of all, everyone I have talked to say both are ok but Prevost is the better ride. Newell is completely customizable, Prevost is the better vehicle. Given Volvo is in charge Prevost, that is believable. Wish he had just said that. Then going into the comparison. I got a Bentley Flying Spur 2 years ago. Didn't test drive it as it was in Texas and the deal on it was great. I have another high end car (S65 coupe which sadly isn't made anymore) which I also got in Texas but in this case I test drove. It (the S65) is an amazing car and served as a comparison for the Bentley. Got the Bentley delivered. The interior is gorgeous. Better than the S65 but not by too much. The driving dynamics are horrid on the Bentley. So much so, I took it in to the local dealer to see if there was something wrong with it. It came back that no, nothing was wrong, thats just the way Bentleys are made to drive. Got an offer on it 6 months later that somehow was 15k more than I purchased it for so I got rid of it as fast as I could. Going back to the comparison here. Just because the name is great, doesn't mean everything about it has to be great. In this case if you said it was Bentley versus Rolls in the driving dynamics case< i would interpret to be one is better than the other which wasn't the intended meaning. Final point of this section, I love this channel but it seems to have become mostly all Newell cheerleading all the time. It is ok to say negative things about products that are otherwise great. The driving dynamics of the Newell is fine, from what I heard, but just not as good as Prevost. It is all about tradeoffs. Prevost isn't as flexible as Newell in design.
The Prevost Semi-Monocoque structure can limit some space options vs the Newel. The Prevost is built for both luxury and stamina. It is nothing for a Prevost to be in service for millions of miles. They have a very good support network. Both are beautiful and both have something for each buyer…..
