would you sacrifice drivability for more livability?
For those who wish they could have a bigger RV but love their B, I offer my impressions after my first 1200 miles in 2014 Pleasure Way Pursuit.
First of all, if you use your B as a daily driver/second vehicle, you can probably stop reading. The Pursuit would be impractical in that use. But if you would consider trading some of your drivability to get more livability, read on.
A standard parking space is 96" wide and 22' long. The Pursuit is 90" wide and 22' long making it legal almost anywhere. But that's about the end of the similarities with your B.
The bad from the B perspective includes 12 mpg, it is not nimble, gets pushed around in the wind, and while it will fit in that parking spot, it will take a couple of try's to get there.
If you're still reading, it gets better. This is a very livable RV. After my 900 mile trip home alone from the dealer (2 days) I stepped out of it rested with no aches or pains (I'm 60) and announced to my wife that I could live in it(alone). It was amazingly comfortable and well thought out in it's design. It has 6'8" of headroom and while it's space you don't use you certainly feel it. It comes with most everything you need standard,
My wife and I (and the dog)then took it out for a night so she could try it. We drove 100 miles and spent the nite in a "Park and Ride" in Mass. A little more crowded but we could pass each other in the galley with no trouble. We could even have our own space with the ability to spin the front chairs and set up the 2 included tables, one up front and one in the back.
But I would think that the most appealing feature to a current B owner would be the bathroom with a real shower and separate toilet. It's not a big shower but I'm 210 lbs and was able to do everything I do at home. My wife said shaving her legs in it would be impossible.
We didn't want to be limited in where we could go and my wife demanded a real shower, so the Pursuit became one of very few choices for us. I don't know what kind of deals the high end Bs like Roadtrek and Airstream offer, but I paid under 77K for this new Pursuit which listed for 108K.
I'll try to answer any questions.
