Prevost Motorhome Chassis Advantages

Featherlite Coaches builds their premier motorcoach, the Vantaré, on the Prevost motorhome chassis due to the inherent advantages with the Prevost chassis.  The Featherlite manufacturing and engineering prowess has earned Featherlite the distinction of being the only US producer of motorcoaches to install their own slide-outs while retaining the Prevost warranty.  Some of the reasons Featherlite Coaches chooses the Prevost Chassis include:
