Pleasureway plateau XL and pursuit.

The class B forum told me to post this here. We went to Hershey thurs and looked at all the class B's. We've been looking for the last few years and were happy with a Sprinter Leisure travel spirit FS or a Roadtrek CS. My DW after seeing the Pleasureway plateau Xl and Pursuit loves the dry baths and the "big" shower. Unless I force her she would really love one of these. We all know a happy wife is a happy life. Our main goal for a "travel van" is to see the USA , Canada and visit friends and family and be able to pull into my sons driveway in the woods where he lives and visit with him, my DIL and grandchildren without imposing on them in there smallish home. We are not campers but drivers and travelers. We like going to place to place and seeing the sites. We hate staying in hotels and motels. Her worst fear are bed bugs and dirty rooms. We've had our share of the later. We love the idea of being able to take the B and going to our destination and to just pull into a spot somewhere and going about and doing our thing. Maybe pulling into a camp ground every few days to empty and refill our tanks and relax for a day. I'm interested to hear from any Plateau xl or pursuit owners to how different it is having one these as opposed to a Sprinter Leisure travel spirit FS or a Roadtrek CS. Can it park in a regular city street spot? Is it hard finding a lot to park in in a crowded tourist town? Is it still a little stealthy like a Sprinter Leisure travel spirit FS or a Roadtrek CS. I'm aware it's not a true B but a B+ or some might even call it a class C. I have driven the Sprinter Leisure travel spirit FS or a Roadtrek CS but not a plateau Xl and Pursuit. How different do they drive. I know one is a Ford and one is a sprinter cut away. Any thoughts on that? Gas mileage will be a big difference. There is a big price difference too but that's not my main concern. Thanks for thoughts in advance.

the bed in the Travato is a real mattress but hinges up out of the way if desired. and slapped together is anything like a jack knife sofa, etc.

Just got our new Pursuit, like the dry bath, have the sofa (bed)- not sure what "slapped together bed" means, as most Bs don't have a dedicated full-time bed. And I wouldn't want one, as it's a waste of space most of the time. Length is great, parks in a traditional striped parking space. Not as "stealthy" as something like a Plateau (which we have also owned).
Works for us- YMMV, as always.

check out winnebago Travato, $70,000 or so. $20,000 less than pleasureways. plateau is only on MB chassis so doesn't interest me. pursuit uses a slapped together bed.
