Given my thread has been revived, just a quick update. My DW and I could not wait even two more years to get an RV. Last week we purchased a 2005 Casita 17' Freedom Deluxe!!! We are very excited. The original owner was gracious enough to deliver it to us by driving 240 miles one way, given we have no vehicle to tow it. It has been sitting in our driveway for 8 days and we have yet to put the cover on it! Many family and friends have gotten the driveway tour. I am now on a quest for the perfect cream puff (used) tow vehicle. We want a used midsized SUV. My DW will drive it a bit as a daily driver, so she has said no pickups! ;) We are leaning toward to Toyota 4 Runner or Kia Borrego. The goal is to stay as close to $10,000 as possible for the tug, but may have to spend a bit more. The goal is to be ready to roll by March 1st or so. Thanks, Dean I just don't see $30K or $40K better in the plateau over the prism almost same floor plan, same chassis, same exterior look....struggling with decision After even more exhaustive research and comparison of Prism 24M and Plateau XL....the pleasure way has less desirable couch rather than two recliners, the prism carries at least 6 more gallons of water, the prism has 2 house batteries versus one in the plateau, the prism has a slide which is a good thing, the prism tanks are heated an not outboard on coach for freeze protection. The only negative we see in the Prism is the rubber roof but RV's have had them for years....and I don't think that accounts for $30-$40K less I suspect that the Unity and Pleasure Way are more cause they can get it not because it costs them that much more to build unless building in Canada costs more as a rule than the US which I doubt.779Views0likes0CommentsRe: Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)

We are considering a new 2015 Prism 24M and a used 2015 Pleasure Way Plateau XL Would any kind of help on similar pair consideration or individual RV experience with either one? We are downsizing from Warrior full size Class C Thanks779Views0likes0CommentsRe: Calling all Road Warrior owners - RWS, RWT, RWM

Please dont give your unit away, too many people are selling Road Warriors way below book and it is hurting all of us... I have experience with class A RV's and highly recommend Tiffin or Newmar with Tiffin being first choice.339Views0likes0Comments
