Default Pleasure Way Update

Pleasure Way video showing the new 2016 Plateau XL. Looks good!

I wonder if they're going to try their hand at a Promaster cutaway.

That would be interesting and also reduce the price of these types of units.

These are a really nice size unit. Loved the shower, was the roomiest one of all the Bs and B+ I saw.

Why did they ditch the Ford Econoline chassis? Even though it isn't as snazzy as the Sprinter, it would definitely be a nice alternative, cheaper than the ProMaster chassis, and can haul a lot more.

Are you sure about that? Ford isn't exactly cheap anymore lately.

I stand corrected. It used to be that way, but from RAM's and Ford's websites, comparing similar models, the MSRP of a ProMaster versus a DRW E-350 is about $3000 more, and the SRW is almost identical. This is close enough that either maker can offer discounts/incentives to tip the scales.

Well, I doubt a company like Winnebago is paying anywhere near those posted prices. There are volume fleet sales and promotions all the time. We know they have some special deal with Mercedes.

Wow pretty nice. Seems like they thought of everything. What does a van like this cost BTW?
Who are the top three competitors to this company? Sorry I'm a newbie...

The top competitors would probably be Leisure Travel... at the top end... and Winnebago at the lower end... as to quality and price.

What Pleasureway offers is a smaller/shorter unit, and they seem to usually have the nicest bathrooms.
