We have the LTV Free Spirit that is very similar to the Pleasure-Way Plateau. One difference between the two that sold us on the LTV was the "basement" storage. This is a large bin beneath the floor in the rear of the van where the spare tire normally resides in that model Sprinter.
With our LTV, we have always had a place for everything we wanted to take along. Our pillows are easily stored behind the sofa back when it is in the sofa configuration rather than folded down into the bed.
We carry a couple of GCI Outdoor PICO Arm Chairs that fold into a very small size and fit easily under our sofa in the rear.
We also have two trailer hitch bike racks (one for two bikes, one for four) and either works on our LTV that has the spare tire on the rear.
For us, pulling a trailer has never been needed and we would not want to tow one because that negates the maneuverability of a class B that is one of its most desirable features.
With all that said, I think it takes a critical review of what one would like to take rather than what one really needs to take to successfully and happily travel in a class B. We have taken quite a few multi-week trips up to 6-weeks in length and been quite happy in our Class B (see blog in signature).
