    YES - PleasureWay is one of the best. Watch some of the PleasureWay Factory Tours and compare it to the Coachmen Factory Tout you did a year ago. Huge difference at PleasureWay - So much cleaner, more organize, and detailed oriented. I would love to see you do an updated PleasureWay Factory Tour.

    • @strangerpalooza

    The gentleman who was repping for Pleasureway is an absolute professional. He knows every aspect of the company, the products and the competitors. I will research this company, I need to figure out where in the U.S., they can service the vehicle if something goes wrong. Thank you for this Hank.

    Saw this vid today, as well as others and I have to say this is a great RV channel and something more RV enthusiast's need to watch. You do great reviews and ask so many questions that other reviewers in this space do not. I really feel like you have our back when looking at a new RV, very detailed. Because of this posting we looked at a pleasure-Way today and it is everything that you have shown here, fit, finish and well made. Keep up the great content, you guys Rock!!!

    I wish it only had a bathroom ..that would really be nice !!!

    I was just at the Mid Atlantic RV show and of all the products which was limited the pleasure way Ontour 2.0 was great. The moment my wife and I went into it we were like this feels so much better than any of the other products. These are very quality units. I wish they had the 2.2 on display as the 2.0 is a tad bit too small.

  • @lisamorris2388
    @lisamorris2388 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I have owned my Pleasureway Plateau for 4 years, and I have had several of the older models over my years of camping. I won’t buy any other brand because the family building these vans do a fabulous job and are available to advise you for any details about the build. This is important since everyone tweaks an RV with personal touches that need to be safely added in their carefully built vans. An email or call to the company is terrifically helpful for owners. And they have a fabulous owners group that share experiences and ideas both on FB and in rallies.

  • @RealCujo
    @RealCujo Před rokem +10

    Interesting how they put emphasis on stopping squeaks and movement of items while in transit. Nice solid parts. I wonder how heavy these RVs are. Since it has both batteries and a generator. I would add just a bar at the entrance but then again I’m older and worry about egress. Great video from the Strange family

    • @strangerpalooza
      @strangerpalooza  Před rokem +4

      You know I'm not sure the weight. I know the bigger vans are on duallys and that's usually to support the weight.

    Thx for the look at the PleasureWay vans. Like the Ontour 2.2 everything except the Dometic AC. Great that it has generator and 2 Lithium batteries. Secure wiring is important. Still no AWD. We'll give them a look.

    • @jeandumford9794

    Thank you for the video!! I own a 2017 Pleasure-Way Plateau TS on the 3500 Mercedes Benz Sprinter Chassis. It has been a super reliable, well built rig! This company truly takes pride in presenting quality builds. Our specific model is more of a comfortable "grand touring" vehicle versus some of the other more adventurous choices out there including Pleasure-Way's own Rekon 4X4. I would have no problem recommending Pleasure-Way to anyone, and although they are not the least expensive to purchase, they do keep much of their value with resale!... and that undoubtedly has to do with their already mentioned quality builds!

  • @stephenstringer3689
    @stephenstringer3689 Před rokem +4

    I think Americans would prefer more lithium but Canadians don't need the a/c as much as us so they can get away without it. They once said they sell enough as is that they don't need to change anything or add more lithium since they are a smaller company. If it works, why change it, lol. Love their quality.

    • @strangerpalooza
      @strangerpalooza  Před rokem +2

      Yeahhhhh..... I need all the Amp hours 🤣. I understand where they're coming from and a lot of California builders do the same thing. But I would modify that and to add more lithium.

      @@strangerpalooza I went big and purchased a Class A DP last year. Circumstances changed and I felt that was the way to go, but I am willing to reconsider my RV choices in a year or two. I realized that while the diesel coach is everything I want and need, it's size keeps me out of quite a few campgrounds, and sometimes it's tough to find a place to park it, as you might expect.

I checked them out in person at the show and put down a deposit to order one from the factory!! Super excited to get it early next year. Thanks, Hank and Lola!

  • @allthingsnu4673
    @allthingsnu4673 Před rokem

    Hank & Lola, I'm curious what you thought of Pleasure-Way and how you think their Ontour models compare to Coachmen's Beyond 22C as far as quality, storage, comfort, etc. The layout of the Ontours is very similar to the Beyond 22C, IMO.

  • @dondouglas3431
    @dondouglas3431 Před rokem

    The Pleasure Way Ontour 2.0 is well thought out. The sofa bed really opens up the living area that would be limited by a folding murphy bed setup. The Bathroom is very functional,although I didn't see a vent in there. Prefer an induction unit that can also be used on a flip down table outside the van, esp when cooking steamy foods or fish.
    Lots of storage for a van that size.Excellent quality. AWD would be nice.
    The only model that Pleasure Way makes that fails is the Recon with it poor layout and . very limited cooking space. Not much room to move with the shower/toliet in the 19.5 ft van. Seems like a rushed product to compete (unsuccessfully) with the Revel and Storyteller models. Thanks for the video!

  • @sandienochs6132
    @sandienochs6132 Před 10 měsíci +1

    When you buy any R.V. stay at a campground near the dealership for a couple of weeks. This is very important. We bought a Airstream and the refrigerator went belly up in three days. We had to drive it back and have it replaced. Also, check out the wiring, is it a mess or does it look like a freeway. In wiring neatness counts. Are the wires clearly labeled? Use every system in the unit, even the heater in July. Does everything you paid for work? Best of luck.
