Hi

[fortsmithman]

I joined this forum because I am thinking about buying a class b motorhome. The one I am interested is a class b+ the Pleasure Way Plateau XL TD. I posted that in a thread, and was told in a reply that the Plateau XL TD is actually a class c. What determines if a motorhome is a class A, B, or C? According to Pleasure-way that model ius a class B+.

There are many threads on this topic. Anything built on a cut-away chassis is a C. B+ is a marketing term used and abused by some of the manufacturers that causes alot of confusion. There is nothing wrong with a C or a B+, but it isn't a B. A Class B is a van.

Another pleasureway model I am interested in because it's under 20 feet is the pleasureway Ascent.

If you are looking at the Ascent, you might also want to look at the Agile. Very similar products.

Wow, I was going to chime in here and say that the Plateaus were all class B's, but before I did that I Googled up the Plateau XL TD, and sure 'nuf, it is a class C. I thought they used the name Pursuit for their C's. Oh well, you learn something all the time.

I like the Pleasure Way line, and we would have bought one if we hadn't ended up with a Great West Legend SE. I'm trying to figure out whether I would have made the choice for the Great West had I known they were going to go under. We're pretty happy with the rig overall, but we did get juked out of about $3K to $5K of unpaid warranty work.

If you are interested in good layouts in Class B's, you might also look at Leisure Travel Vans. I've been impressed with what they put out.
