2014 agile vs ascent

Good points. I dont focus on my neighbours plumbing. I do like to have my galley next to the sliding door so I can have my sous chef hand me cooking tools,plates and stuff while I am cooking outdoors,just outside doorway. I just find it so much more convenient. If one cooks inside it really doesnt matter bcause you would probably be eating inside too. Thats only factor I considered when choosing a passenger side galley setup. They all work anyway and it is a matter of personal choice.

Hmmm ... I think you have this backwards.
My B has the bathroom on the passenger side, so the galley is on the driver side. I don't recall ever seeing the neighbor's stinky-slinky, hook-ups and external generator from the galley window. When looking out our galley window (driver side) we are looking at the passenger side of the other motorhome or trailer. That isn't where the utilities are located! However, with the galley on the passenger side, you are indeed looking at your own site, and a bit further away the neighbor's stinky slinky, hook-ups, and possibly an external generator.

Question about the Ascent, does PW offer 4 AGM batteries, and a 300 watt solar system?

The dealer I went to said no.

Checked as well, not from the factory.

Passenger side galley also allows me to interact with visiting friends outside, etc. while still doing whatever in the galley. I think passenger side bathrooms could/would possibly inhibit activity in said bathroom; I doubt any friends visiting my campsite would want to hear my melodious voice singing in the shower, or other more intimate sounds and odors emanating from the passenger / campsite side of a bathroom.

I'm an unabashed fan of Pleasure-way. Based on comments on this site, first hand info from RVing friends/ owners / neighbors, etc., even if I were to consider other B's, Roadtrek would be closer to the bottom of my list than most others.



Just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

+1

I really have to agree based on practical aspects of the PW

Question about the Ascent, does PW offer 4 AGM batteries, and a 300 watt solar system?

Most people cannot use the Roadtrek toilet with the door closed. The ascent bath is significantly larger. I would also check the chassis build year if you have not done so already. Tthere are differences between 2013 and 2014.

Another factor was that the RT dealer is close by and the PW dealer is about 4 hours. The PW dealer didn't have an Ascent to look at (nor did they have any older Ascents any time we checked, so we had to drive much further to just to see one.

With a quality product, this is no issue except for the initial look at a unit.

When we bought our LTV in 2005, the closest dealer of any kind was three hours away. We went to both of those dealers to see their product and then bought at Van City in St. Louis because they greatly undercut the more local dealers in price.

Not having a local dealer has never been an issue since. Oh, and I totally agree with bobojay5 on the refrigerator down low. It was one of the deciding factors in our decision.
