Pleasure Way Pursuit

[Merry]

We pick up our 2014 Pleasure Way Pursuit next week. We are pretty excited. We're moving from a 36' 5th wheel so it will be quite a change. We had a Forest River Solera before that -it was 25' and the Pursuit is 22. This is our 3rd RV in 2 years but I think we finally got it right 😉

Does anyone else have one?

Pleasure Way Pursuit is a nice B+. A quality build.

It depends. A Winnebago ERA and a Winnebago Trend are the same length. The Trend is fatter and taller by about a foot. However, the Trend's original chassis came from Mexico as a cab cutaway, and the ERA came out of the Mercedes factory as a van.

This is why an Excel and a 210 are considered a "B" motorhome, even though the rear is a fiberglass shell.

AFIAK, that is the difference between a "B" and a "C". If it came to the RV maker as a van proper, even if the entire walls are removed, it is still a "B". A cab chassis? A "C". Just a steering wheel on a ladder frame (requiring a custom facing by the RV upfitter), an "A".

Does it really matter? It may with resale value. If one cared about rig usage, this would depend on the individual model. With the unibody construction of modern vans like the Sprinter, Transit, and the Sprinter, there are a lot more engineering/space issues to deal with, as opposed to just grafting a box onto a cab cutaway.

Because it is built on a cutaway chassis, it is a C. A Class B comes from the factory as a van.

An over the cab bed isn't a good way to decide the class as you can find such on both B's and C's. Way too many seem to have this as the only deciding factor. LOL

I have the LTV version of your Pursuit, but on a Chevy. I really like the size... more living space than a B, but still small and easy to drive.

Thank you all so much. We've been looking at Bs on and off for a while now. It's hard for me to realize that ours isn't a B since that's all Pleaure Way used to make. We'll have to be really creative with space and storage. And we don't have a sleep over cab but I guess we are technically a C?
The fit and finish is amazing and we are looking forward to years of enjoyment

On my second Pleasure-Way. Great outfit/upfitters.
Enjoy your Pursuit!

I am very interested in your experience with the Pursuit. We have traveled in a PW Excel for 7 years and are selling it. The Pursuit will be an upgrade in terms of space for us which is different from you. I have nothing but good things to say about Pleasure Way quality.

What Jim&Carolyn says......B+ is a marketing term, not an actual RV type.

You picked a good brand

Congratulations. Pleasure-way makes great vehicles.Ours is older but interior is outstanding quality--ours a Plateau. We went same route: two big rvs and now the B. Use ours as a second vehicle and save w&t on our BMW528i! I just realized the Pursuit is bigger than a B. Still it is lovely.

Even though Pleasure-Way has been building nothing but class B motorhomes for all these years and they call the Pursuit a B+, it's really a Class C motorhome; so there won't be any other folks on this forum that has one.

It is however, a very nice mothorhome - congratulations and good luck.
