I help maintain and drive a 95' Liberty Xl 45 on the rally trip to spearfish, SD.. up the only long grade John in a Newer factory Newell with the 650 Cummings blew by me like I was setting still. I noted that the acceralition was steady but not impressive. But when at speed it makes time. Handling was good and a quite ride, I sorta like the retarder on the transmission. We made a 1000 miles or so in a day and got 7.4 mpg on the trip. My Newell experance is limited but like the ride and floor plans better.. The Prevost has 3 cruise airs and bus air.. Lots of maintiance and cost with them. 15k for a new compressor on the bus air last year alone.. The Prevost seems harder to work on than the Newell.. Hope that helps..
