I took the Villa sofa out the 2000 CC I had by taking it apart and out the front door, but as Jon pointed out, removing the windshield is not a big deal.
Last year I had a local upholstery shop do our couch, chair and foot rest. We picked out fabric and hides from a local fabric dealer and saved a pile of money. They did a great job, so you don’t have to break the bank, use your local resources if able.

I don’t understand the pressure set at 25/48. The air toilet, if it’s a Microphor, needs 60 psi. I’ve always set my compressor at 70/100.

Jon,
Thanks for answering some questions that I had thought of, but had not yet asked :-). For example, I wondered about the year that the XLII line began. I had not heard about the riveted side difference.
You mentioned the aftermarket slides. I asked that question in another thread also, so that is something I’m curious about. I’d rather have a coach without slides than to have one with them and constantly be having to work on them or deal with leaks, etc..
OTR heat and air is definitely something to think about. I’ve never driven one without whole coach heat and air, so I might not have thought about that being an option on Prevost shells. The last coach I drove for an entertainer years ago was an MCI built by Custom Coach. It had both CruiseAirs and coach air.
Your answer gave me some other things to consider as I begin this journey.
Thanks again.

Gil:
On the search check the vehicle type and then check the manual type. It will list manual sections grouped by year. for the years prior to 2000.

The regulator pressure setting is more than likely going to reflect any anticipater minor pressure increases due to temperature rise. The issue relating to a check valve is that it must be ahead of the valve and regulator on the supply side so you do not defeat the belt tension release if you need to change a belt.
The belts should remain tight for days. If not there is a leak (duh!) and as Andre pointed out the regulator appears to be the biggest contributor, but it is probable the valve itself can be an issue. But then the air bags can leak and so can the fittings………..well, you get the drift.
Look up articles and posts by Hector. He is our leak guru and as he proves the rewards for chasing and curing air leaks is a coach that holds air for a long time. As to the seller saying “they all do it” what he means when talking about leaks is all the poorly maintained coaches do it.

There’s one of about the same year, if not the same, parked behind me now. It too has the 2 bunks and the owner said he’s pretty sure it was custom. For kids, they would be great.

repoer,
I’m kinda known for making modifications that
shouldn’t be. I could really use that style lift. Since the weight is shared
between the original hitch on the cradle and 2 other frame mounts I’m about 60%
– 70 % OK with it, but not completely sold.
The weight is still hung on the back of the chassis. The static weight doesn’t
concern me, it’s the force generated when driving at highway speeds and encountering
an unexpected dip or even traveling slow over speed bumps, combine that with
the lever effect of the weight, maybe 2 feet out from the mounts. I would be
hanging about 1000 lbs off the rear. I’d like for you post some pictures of the
side mounts and how they are attached to the chassis. If the guys at Nashville
Prevost say it’s OK that makes me feel a little better about it.Ken
