New PleasureWay 04 Owner
I just purchased a 04 PW Excel. As a VW bus driver of over 40 years, I must ask, what do you recommend I do to to the new toy? Concerns evolve around the safety of the rig not the "bling"

I smiled when I read your post.
Volkswagens, (bugs, 1961 Camper, and 1987 Westfalia) have punctuated my life and have provided some of the best memories.
I have a 2003 PW Excel TD (which I'm getting around to selling). The first thing I checked and changed out were the tires. I also had it tuned, oil changed, and had the other fluids checked, almost immediately. Made sure the air assist suspension was full. I also sanitized and refilled the fresh water tank, and flushed thoughly and emptied the black tank. I like to start fresh. The house batteries were replaced but a few years after I purchased my PW.
Early on during his ownership stint the previous owner had the wheel spacers installed, so I didnt have to deal with that stability issue.
My 2003 served me wonderfully! I now have a 2006 PW Sprinter bought in anticipation of retirement next year, BUT, I'm torn about keeping it and selling the 2003. Love the storage and reliability of the 2003.
Have fun, enjoy your journey!
