What would you consider under powered on a 45′

Sorry to disappoint you. I won’t laugh my ass off at you. I will smile. Been there done that. It took me much longer than I think it should have to figure out the Roman numeral thing.
Its unfortunate someone answered the question for you, so you still have to pass this part of the test. Do a new question:
How long is an “XLII” coach and an “X3” coach?
Please, NO OUTSIDE HELP for Ron. Otherwise it will take him forever to get past this phase of the test.

Dick you are to funny
xlII = 40ft 2 slides
x3= 45ft 2 slides
Did I pass?

I don’t think so.
XLII is the 45′ coach that succeeded the XLV; about 2000 chassis year. It would not surprise me that a handful of 40′ XLII’s were built, but its possible that all XLII’s are 45′. As I understand it the XLII 45′ motorhome chassis had the shorter wheelbase with the small “tag bay” behind the tag axle. XLII’s for entertainers have a long wheel base with no tag bay behind the tag axle.
X3 is the 45′ successor to the XLII’s. As I understand it the X3’s are all long wheelbase chassis; i.e. the X3 entertainer chassis and the X3 motorhome chassis have the same wheelbase. Which should be the same as the seated coach wheelbase.
As Prevost moved from XLV to XLII to X3 more things changed that just the wheel base in the coach. But this will get you started understanding the differences.
These may or maybe not have slides, depends on how they were ordered. The further you get into the 2000’s model year coaches, the more likely they are to have slides, as the years go by more slides.
I trust if I’ve characterized anything incorrectly I’ll be politely corrected.

Oh well. I am not looking at those models anyway, but thanks for the education. Nice to understand the progession of the Prevost. Now we better keep ths thread on track so it does not get locked up like my other question about OTR air. Thanks Dick

I know some of you probably thought I had a screw loose on my post on diesel-electric Coaches, I know this is pie in the sky and way off in the future, but think of the possibilities if a Coach was diesel-electric. No torque issues, all the power you need and no transmission, direct drive. Michael
