Yes. XL for "X-tra-L-arge".....102" wide.

Post by: Joe Camper on August 17, 2010, 05:23:55 AM: Everything after and including 1985 is 102 wide

XL is Roman numeral for 40ft, XLV...45

Post by: luvrbus on August 17, 2010, 06:06:12 AM: Someone needs to study the Roman numbers they confuse me the XL is also a 45 ft X is 10 or 10,000 L is 50 or 50,000, think you will find out the XL and XL II stands for extra luxury in the Prevost in 40 and 45 models FWIW I always thought the XL II was the 45 footer I don't think Roman numbers have anything to do with the Prevost models

good luck

Someone needs to study the Roman numbers......X is 10 or 10,000 L is 50 or 50,000.

Correct - therefore XL is 40 (10 less than 50)

I believe that XXXX may also a valid way of expressing 40, as some clock faces have IIII rather than IV

And all these years my wife had me convinced that XXX meant 30 seconds (bummer) :o

Post by: Joe Camper on August 17, 2010, 07:36:35 PM: Up to 99 the 45ers were the XLV and the 40s were the XL. I assumed that was roman for 45 & 40. What is the correct roman numerals for 45 & 40 if those aren't?

In 2000 when they went away with the rivets and started glueing the stainless on they changed the name of the 45ers from the XLV to XLII.

All H-3's that leave the factory as a motorhome shell have the VIP designation.

What was the last year they produced a 40 ft shell for motorhome conversion? 2000?

Post by: luvrbus on August 17, 2010, 08:16:47 PM: Joe, I told you Roman numbers confuse me but for fwiw I have a friend that has 1999 XlII with glued on siding and the windows without all the rivets that is one of the things I disliked about my 1996 was all the rivets around the windows.
I do know about the VIP on the H series I have 2002 Featherlite I bought for resale from Newell at the moment I have it leased to a German couple for 4 months I am not impressed with a Featherlite conversion they are a little ruff around the edges but they like it.So now how do translate X3-45 I know it is a 45 footer

good luck
