Returning with a new Class B. Class B+?

[alaskasail]

I am a returning member.

For a number of years my wife and I have had a 2005 Roadtrek 190 versatile which we’ve taken to Alaska a couple of times and used extensively in the Tucson, Arizona area. We loved that Roadtrek, but at 6’ 2”, I couldn’t quite stretch out in the E-W sleeping arrangement and when answering a late-night “call of nature” and having to climb over my partner, (The “ninja move” she calls it.) so we decided to sell it and buy something with a N-S set up.

Anyway, we recently bought a 2010 Pleasure Way Excel TS which is wide enough to sleep in any orientation. When my wife saw the enclosed toilet/sink/shower, The deal was done.

I’ve only had it a short time and I’m sorting it all out, so I will have, no doubt, a barrage of questions. Your knowledge and patience will be appreciated.

According to RVIA definitions, it is a Class C, if PW was using a cutaway, but it appears that it still has the Ford back door, so they might have chopped off the back of the van and then rebuilt it. I remember lots of discussion in the past about the Roadtrek model that did the same. It was classed a B because it came off the Ford line as a van. (which is the RVIA defining factor. Of course there is no such thing as a B+)

I agree with your wife, PW has always had the best bathrooms!!

RIVA considers it a Blass B. The Excel started life as a complete van. PW then removed all of the van body behind the cabin, retaining only one side passenger door and the 2 rear doors. It's the same process that Roadtrek did with their 210's.

When I saw the van door, I figured that might be the case. Thanks...
