Pleasure Way

The PW part of my Traverse has been fine except for peeling clearcoat on the fiberglass top and running boards. Even though the van is now in its 13th year, it sort of surprised me as the Ford paint has been fine. Just got back from an 1800 or so hundred mile loop through the Four Corners region and driving an average of 60-75 on the whole trip, I averaged about 16 MPG. Fill ups where I was driving more leisurely got me high 17 and the worst was a fill up after driving north on I-15 to I-84 in crazy high winds and driving a good part of it at 75 MPH (until the winds got too bad). That was about 12.5 MPG.

I actually use my Sprinter as a second vehicle as I get 30 MPG regularly on a Canadian Gallon. It is useful for many hauling jobs or trips with the pooch to the shopping centre plus of course RV trips. It has saved my pricey BMW a lot of miles too as it sits in the garage more now with the SPrinter. WHen I upgrade, a journey not yet finalized, I hope for an equally economical RV. Pleasure way is pricey but outstanding quality all round.

I to have a 2006 PW Plateau TS on the Dodge Sprinter chassis. I get 20-24 MPG at 65-70 MPH. However, I drop to 15 mpg when towing my 12 foot enclosed trailer with the Harley inside.
My only complaint with the PW conversion is there is little to no insulation in the walls or doors. Makes for really cold nights unless the heater is blasting. I did add a second coach battery, under the passenger seat, to allow the heater to run thru the night.
