Plateau TS model years

Does anyone know if there is a significant difference between the 2013 and 2014 Pleasureway's Plateau TS? Thanks. I'm trying to decide which model to buy.
  • Actually, that reminds me of another potential difference. The 13 had a 3 year/36000 mile and the 14 had 5/60000 but it wasn't clear whether that was what he purchased or whether it was transferable. Would MB have different warranties like that?

    Yes, I believe so. My 2013 had a 10000 mile service interval. 2014 was 15k

    My 2015 is 20k
  • I could be wrong, but didn't MB make a considerable change in the engine service intervals around then?
  • Thanks. The 2013 has a 2013 chassis, not sure about the 2014. But the 2013 is cheaper and has virtually never been used. Is the silver paint anything other than cosmetic? It was an option on the 13 and seemed pretty expensive, it's not on the 14.
  • There is not that much difference in the Mercedes Benz Chassis of 2010 to 2013 to worry about. The 2014 chassis was redesigned cosmetically in the front end and had some desirable safety features added if Pleasure-way included them. The front end redesign was to unify the look more with its high end luxury cars. It was subtle. The steering wheel was redesigned as well but the rest of the cab not much different. All in all go with the price.
  • We purchased a 2014 Plateau TS (2013 chassis)last year. We also looked at a new 2013 Plateau TS on a 2013 chassis. The most obvious difference to us was that Pleasureway added the continental spare to the back starting with the 2014 models.
  • the thing you should look at is what year the sprinter chassis is on each. there were several additions by MB to the sprinters around them most notably the luxury packages. since it's not uncommon for an rv year to be different from a chassis year you should look at that

    a 2013 pleasure way could be 2012 or 2013 chassis.

    a 2014 pleasure way could be 2013 or 2014 chassis.

    lots of internal changes on sprinters in those years
