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 ...

Hi gang.
We purchased a 2016 Ascent, for the very reason to use it as our only vehicle. Although, we only use a vehicle maybe once a week at most, and we are on the Sunshine Coast, where not a lot of chemicals get put on the road over the winter season. I am going to coat the bottom of the unit with fluid film, which I will do once it warms up a bit. The Ascent has been great so far. It is easy to get around in and fits where we need it to fit. The Ascent replaced our newer Ford F150 Supercrew 4x4, so the length is the same.
I won’t comment on the Promaster chassis, or the other PW models as it really is a personal choice and your comfort level with the chassis manufacturer, etc. All I can tell you from experience is that for a ‘daily driver,’ the Ascent was the only real contender and it is working out very well.
