Now that's a nice looking motorhome. Looks like they took advantage of the extra space. Although the photos can lie, the fit and finish looks as nice as any class A I've ever toured. I'm not sure it wouldn't be able to navigate most roads a B could traverse. It sounds like it's comparable in length to the Sprinters. Wouldn't be a show stopper for us if it couldn't. Maybe in a few years, when depreciation has done it's work on price, we'll look around for a "gently used" one. The shower/bath is maybe one of the nicest features to us. Loaded, it sounds like it's fully dry camping equipped.
Reminds me of that big custom model we saw online a while back, for sale (used) near Ottawa. It was on a diesel powered chassis, IIRC?

Paraphrasing, "the owner of Pleasure Way asked class B owners what they wanted, and they said a dry bathroom".
Roger that, Houston.....

(funny, looked like a Roadtrek behind him at the end of the vid )

I agree - not a show stopper.

The bed in the B+ we had made up in the middle of the coach. You combined the jackknife sofa and the dinette to make a HUGE bed. The size was nice but it cut off the front of the van when it was setup and you lost use of the dinette as well. The jackknife sofa part was like sleeping on a cheap sofa bed - not comfortable - you could feel the metal support bar so we topped it with a memory foam. We stored the big memory foam in the overcab area and had to haul it out at night and pack it away in the morning.

The new PW Pursuit uses a sandwich of 3" regular foam combined with 3" memory foam for the bed and you can sit in the front seats if you are up early or stay up later than your traveling companion. I could happily sit up front with my laptop and a coffee while DW sleeps in.

Maybe in 3 years or so, they'll design something better, and we can start looking for used Pursuits when their current owners
tire of them, as many seem to do. Might be able to afford one at the depreciated price.
