Roadtrek or Pleasure Way??

If you like it and can afford it, go for it.

We had a 2001 Pleasure-Way Excel on the Dodge chassis; it was well made and when I compared it to RT models before purchasing, I felt it was better made and didn't have so much cheap looking plastic trim pieces. The PW people in Canada were always helpful if I had any questions about operation of components, etc. We don't have it any more; went to a longer Class C (Coach House) which we like real well; but we miss the PW for it's ease of operation, good fuel economy, and excellent workmanship. I'd buy the PW if the price is right, and its been maintained well.

1996 is pretty old. It's all about it's condition and maintenance at this point. 59k is around 2500 miles/year, not a bad thing if consistent over the years, but if it spent 10 of those years doing 5k/year and 10 sitting not being used, there could be significant issues from inactivity. Hard to know without a good inspection.

I wish I was born in 1996. :)

My PW is 16-17 years old now and was bought used. The folks at PW treat me like a valued customer on the few occasions I had to call them. If I buy another B, it will almost certainly be a PW.

Based on water capacity only I would get the Pleasureway. The 170 would require us to dump/fill everyday.
