There is only one situation in which I prefer a Prevost; driving on salty roads. Newell has a steel chassis structure overlaid with aluminum skin. The two metals are separated in various ways to prevent corrosion due to dissimilar metals, especially in the presence of salt and moisture. If that separation fails and you drive on salted roads you will get holes in the aluminum skin amazingly quickly. On the older coaches that used polyethylene film as the separator it would be wise to verify its integrity before venturing near salt. Prevost use materials of construction that don't have this issue, they will however be heavier.
