Dean's Tour of the 2015 Pleasure-Way ProMaster Lexor TS

We had a flat on Rt89 in Wyoming between two small towns. Fortunately we had cell signal and we were able to call AAA for help. They would not have been able to help if we had not had a spare. They sent a truck that could change the tire. That was it. Again we were fortunate that 4 miles down the road in the little town of Etna there was a tire dealership that had a tire to fit the MH so we could replace the tire and continue to have a spare. I would never travel without a spare tire.

There is absolutely no chance I am traveling with a vehicle with no spare tire. No chance. That would be a complete deal breaker for me and anyone with any common sense.

I've never had a flat tire on my PW either but have had to change the tire numerous times due to the Hankrook tires separating and tires that have failed in general. On the Ford chassis the spare is stored underneath and in front of the rear bumper. There is a cable holding the tire that can be lowered to the ground via a cranking mechanism. No, the spare tire is not light by any means but is always appreciated when needed. The alternative of waiting on the side of the road in the boonies for "someone" to come rescue you is not my cup of tea. Cell phone service is not always available and the tow truck that AAA or Good Sam sent may not have the right size tire to replace the damaged one. I gotta have a spare tire!

not changing the flat is one thing. having to acquire a tire is another. better to have the spareand just need assistance to change it.

there are too many tire sizes available for tow to have all

Spares are becoming a thing of the past. I would not attempt to change a flat on my Pleasure-way, it's too heavy. I can't even remember the last time I had a flat tire and rarely see anyone on the road with one anymore.

The promaster seats swivel. The bathroom wall behind the divers seat precudes it from swiveling. The passenger seat surely swivels. The promaster doesn't come with a spare.

erip=you own a travato-the regular promaster van does come with a spare under it. winnebego opted to delete the spare. we still don't know if the pleasure way has a spare.

Do the Promaster airbag seats preclude them from being swiveled? That would eliminate a front living area at least for one person in the passenger seat. That is a fairly big disadvantage for me.

I assume there is a spare tire under the van but wonder with the battery compartment and generator.

I would rather than MW hang down over the sink than have to bend over to use.

Same fridge & microwave as the WGO ERA 70A model. Agree with mlts22 on the microwave....

Price?
