We are on our third Excel, our second V-8. I prefer the V-10, why I don't know I guess it just seemed a little more responsive to the pedal, gas mileage was about the same. We never had the handling issues that have been posted on here from time to time, all three of our Excels handled very well without any modifications. We don't camp much any more, just use it for traveling and running around. I'm anxious to see what Pleasure-way is going to do with the Ford Transit when it becomes available to them. Good luck with your Pursuit it's a very nice unit.
