Pleasureway Factory tour

We just toured the PW factory in Saskatchewan Canada this week. What great people and
talk about being wowed. We have a 2006 Ford Exel B class. There are a lot of new units coming out from various manufacturers. But if your in the market for a new class B or B+
all I can say is wait a few months and check out the new units from PW. These people sure are
on the right track in my mind. Very inovative new products will be coming out. We love our
PW the construction is very high quality and when we upgrade it will be another PW. Sorry
to say the Transit van will not be out for a while yet. If you ever get close to their factory
give them a call and see for yourself how they are made.
Class B

    Pleasureway just released a YouTube video on their 2015 Plateau XL widebody on the sprinter cut away chassis. It looks like the Pursuit on the outside and is similar to the Unity Murphy bed on the inside.

    The Pleasure-way Plateau XL Wide Body looks like an emergency/ambulance vehicle to me. This one shown in the YouTube video is an either/or, live/sleep, sofa/bed decision plan since the sofa/bed dominates the interior. Quality looks top notch.

    Did you ask them about the Transit? Was it just the stock answer that everyone is giving that "it isn't out yet."

    Three tiny windows in the body plus another tiny one in the door. That thing is like going into a cave, it appears.

    Francheska said, "sorry to say the Transit won't be out for a while" so I take that to mean asked and answered?

    BTW, they are calling it a Plateau XL but it is not a B like their Plateau model. Once again it is a small C on a cutaway chassis. Since they took the XL moniker do I assume they have no plans for a true Sprinter van Extended Length 24 footer?

    Boy that is one short class C! But where's the windows? Especially on the left side...

    Looks very similar to the Prestige - perhaps a bit smaller inside as the Sprinter cutaway is narrower than the Ford E450.

    Like this floor plan a bit better. But what I don't get is the couch folds, and then a murphy bed folds down on top of it. Seems like a huge space waster to me. The Prestige has a queen size fold-down sofa. Is this new arrangement a king? I just don't get it. Otherwise I like this one.

    This style of RV is always going to look like an ice-cream truck. Not much they can do with a box on a cut-away.

    I like the idea of not having to make up the couch as a bed, leaving the bed made, sans pillows, and just pulling it down to sleep.
    Easy peasy.

    PW quality but lack of windows is a poor non-feature. Frankly, I prefer the Pursuit 22ft model. Lots of windows and a wide,power couch/bed at rear plus the same quality bathroom. I dont see it being popular.
