Looking at the Pleasure-Way Ascent
We are looking closely at the Pleasure-Way Ascent right now, a class B built on the shorter MB chassis. We would appreciate any feedback on this unit, mostly about storage space, maintenance costs ...

I really don;t know, a big part of our choice ( 2006 Lexor TD) was the Chev chassis.
Proven and plentiful parts and repairs anywhere- I have GM's so the layout of the chassis was a known.
These factors make my own cost of ownership much lower than average.
so apples/oranges.
when we started shopping I was pro-Sprinter and anti-Ford v10. The sprinter we test drove was wonderful...the quality of the conversion was shockingly bad (2009 era). I had long rented fords vans for work and don;t much like them or the MPG
For any of the newer van offerings- I'll be waiting to see how they do in use.
I remain very happy with the quality of the PW conversion- and mine is now almost 10 years old- everything works ! The Chev has about 95K on it and no repairs- just oil, lube, filters, tires and gas.
And I would look at PW again. I will be in Saskatoon in May and hope to visit the factory if my time allows.
