    It used to be a Kevlar composite when first introduced. Stainless steel frame.

    When the H3 was introduced to the conversion market around 1990/1991 Prevost made it known the skins and door panels weren’t fiber glass or some other material associated with conventional RVs, but was a very strong and high quality material. If it has changed I am unaware of that. All the specifications say is it is a fiber composite.

    Since the H3 was introduced there have been a lot of changes in materials used for various products, such as the use of carbon fiber to replace metal in a lot of applications. I would guess Prevost has made changes.

    At least we know what’s under the skin.
