Pleasure-way Excel
Avg. Rating

We have owned 2 different models and both are 5 star worthy. They are easy to drive and are used as an around town vehicle part of the time. Our current model is only 2 weeks old, but the 1,300 miles we have put on it so far have been enjoyable. Room inside is plenty for 2 adults and one of our grandsons has joined us on some weekend camping trips. The fit and finish is so good, that we would not consider any other manufacturer for a class B unit.

I love this RV, with one big exception. Being a Mercedes Sprinter, the driving experience is smooth and powerful. With diesel I get 16 mpg around town, and 17 on freeway. I have compared this with a Chevy Class C RV which was like Beauty and the Beast. Preferred this layout with bathroom on driver side and kitchen opposite which seems to open it up as well as allow more visibility for driver looking over passenger side. I had previous Roadtrek with opposite floor plan to compare. The MP has 4 captain's chairs which my wife has been able to configure for 2 extra beds by rotating and laying them flat, so 4 can sleep (but better when 2 are outside in tent...) Here's the exception: very expensive to repair emissions control system for the diesel fuel, which many of us have complained about. Fortunately, this year, 2021, a Bluetec settlement against Mercedes has paid for most of the repair, but as much as I love this RV, I will look into other chassis for the next one.

This a great vehicle and hard to find, especially with low miles. Solid maple cabinets, stainless sinks, and porcelain toilet bowl; all the comfort of home. Rides well, both my wife and I are very comfortable driving on both short and long trips. Great for both experienced and novice RVers, Great online support groups. If you can find one, don’t miss out on owning one of these handmade gems.

The Pleasure Way Lexor TS is a quality built Class B. The materials and finishes in my 2002 still look like new. The craftsman and workmanship are excellent. These are not mass produced units. Each one is custom built.

This camper is extremely comfortable and provides all the essential amenities. It’s so easy to drive and can go just about anywhere. We love the fact that you can park in a regular parking space when you’re in the city. Our last trip was for a month and we never felt cramped up. We love this camper and would recommend it to anyone who loves to travel and are tired of the extra work of a travel trailer.

We love our class B Pleasure-Way. It is easy to drive and park even in the city. It is so handy to have toilet, stove and fridge. You can stop for a break whenever you want. No matter where you are you sleep in your own bed. It is our home away from home!

I love this rig. I'm single 65 yr old female and HAVE NEVER BEEN uncomfortable driving/ parking or sleeping in it. I have never had any issues with it. It has a lot of storage and we'll designed. People always ask if they can see inside and love the beauty of it. I have NOT towed with it although owner's manual states you can tow with it. Only selling to buy a house.

Just heading home after a 3 week vacation in my unit. I have had it for 5 years but only taken weekend or shorter trips. This is my first longer trip. I bought it 2 years used in 2014 and have had very few problems. I did have an issue with the Dometic fridge but it was repaired for free under a recall issue that was missed. The build quality is amazing. I am often looking around my unit and have yet to find any single thing wrong except for little issues that I can fix on my own. There is the usual maintenance on both rig and van but that is to be expected. I did find that keeping the "Ride Rites" at the proper inflation makes it much easier to drive. I was just at a PW rally and the representative told me I could sell my unit for higher than the price I paid. This units keep their value which is very different from the other brand names. I spent a couple of rainy evenings in the unit and was very comfortable and cozy reading, computing and cooking. Didn't feel closed in at all. I love my unit. would sell

These hand built Class B camper vans are built with great care in Canada to very high standards. The TD model has the twin beds that can convert into a large queen size bed, with a memory foam mattress. Super easy to drive and park, since they are only 20 feet long. The ones on the Ford chassis, with the very reliable Ford V8 motor. are my top choice. Traveling around the US it is usually not too hard to find a Ford dealer's repair shop, if needed. The 5.4 Liter motor has enough horses to climb hills quite easy. It can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

I loved our RV it felt like home away from home wherever we traveled to. I liked the privacy of our bedroom & the spaciousness of the RV. The reclining captain chairs are an asset bc with that & the couch it feels like a living room with the flat screen tv and surround sound it makes for great family time. The motarized windshield blind helps for privacy too! The kids love the bunk beds especially with the DVD players & electrical outlets to charge their phones or gaming systems and have their privacy too. There is a ton of storage on the RV in the kitchen for food dishes and the linens plus on the outside of the rv for anything u need!

One of the best built in the industry. Has all the amenenities of a larger RV ,but you can park it anywhere and use it as your daily driver. Live in capable while you work at your work and then take off for weekend get a ways!! This is a well thought out RV that holds its value!!

Looked at most of the Class Bs in the industry and pleasure way really stood out as being the best made, designed, and drivability. Coming from an Airstream Trailer, this made the transition easier.

We bought our Excel-TS new in '07. It is large enough for 2, yet small enough to maneuver in city traffic. Gas mileage is very good. Being self contained is a plus when traveling. It has provided us with many good camping and traveling experiences. Still a great RV.

I have owned 3 Pleasureway motorhomes. The quality of finish and fit and manufacturer support is great. Of the 3 I like the Pleasureway Excel TS with the V10 engine the best. It is durable and reliable. I like the livability of the Excel TS sleeping configuration, in the twin bed configuration if one person has to get up they do not have to climb over the other person. In general this coach is ideal for two people.

For a small RV, this is a very comfortable rig. The isle is wide enough that two adults can walk without hitting one another - unlike some of the RVs out there. Pleasure-Way makes a very good product. The floor plan is such that a person can be in the living area watching TV or working on a computer while others can be in the kitchen area or bathroom. Since this unit is on an E350 chassis, it is not intimidating to drive. We actually use it from time to time as a second vehicle for errands around town. Overall, we are pleased with this unit.

I love my 1998 Pleasureway RV!!! I bought it in May 2016 and it only had 64,000 miles on it! Everything on it works great and the exterior and interior almost look brand new. No one can believe it is 18 years old! I had backup camera installed. The only other things I had done were put on new shocks, change oil, rotate tires. Just regular maintenance! Took it on first trip down to Florida and it did great. Cant wait to go on a lot more adventures!!! I would highly recommend Pleasureway RV's as they are well built and fun to drive and have all you need for a home away from home!

For 12 years old, under 70,000 miles, this van/RV is in excellent condition! It comes fully furnished. The only "down" side is that the interior is about 6' tall. Therefore, it is somewhat short for anyone who is over that height.

A dream that came true finding a used Pleasure Way on a lot in Canada. I bought it the same day it came available at the dealer in Calgary. It looked like new. Beautifully crafted. I added 100watt plus solar panel, four HD cameras with a large monitor to aid side and back viewing, AGM 27 series deep cycl 12 v battery plus KN air filter, and Onon generator? I sold my 1978 Winnie RG 20 in four hours after listing on kjjiti. I will miss the cupboards and four burner stove an especially the oven ( I tend to take too much dry camping. It will be a new experince using a two burner and micro wave touring across Canada this June/July to the east coast. Happy Trails. It's A1 great beds

If your looking for a small RV fully self contained, this is the way to go. Very easy to drive and can be parked in any parking space anywhere. Pleasure Way builds a Top of the Line RV. The V10 gets great mileage and gas the perfect power for climbing in higher altitudes. I would highly recommend this RV for anyone looking for a Class B! Best made is Pleasure Way!!!!

A Pleasure Way is built to last and uses only the Best materials. Everything you need in a smaller space and can be parked anywhere!

Purchased in July, 2014. Use around town for 2nd vehicle. Park it in any parking spot. Went on one trip and all of the hook-ups worked. Am not a people hauler, so chair behind driver is now a storage cabinet. Wanted max. storage so elected to leave sofa made into bed, therefore giving me max. storage under the bed, without having to switch storage from under the bed to behind the couch. This model does not have a sin k I n the bathroom, but that is not really a big deal, when I am the only one using it. Get 18miles plus a fraction on the road.

We are really enjoying that being only 20'long, we can park in most city parking spaces. It is a two person RV, so works well for us. I tell people that we have all the features of larger motor homes except for floor space. We are willing give that up to be able to go most anywhere with the unit. We are pleased with the amount of storage space we have with inside and outside compartments. We consistently get over 14 MPG with the gas V8 Engine and still have power to get around hills adequately. It had 100,000 miles when we purchased it this spring. It was scary to drive until I replaced the shocks and very worn out front torsion bar bushings. It is much better now. I plan to install rear wheel spacers and active suspension that I have read will improve the stability even more. We looked at many class B RVs before purchasing. We had decided Pleasure-Way was what we wanted and have not been disappointed.

It is the perfect motor home. The smaller size allows us to get into the back county of the the National Forests and National Parks. We have camped on the beaches of TX, and National Forests in 14 states. The highway handing and parking in any parking space are also very strong quantities for our Vacation Van. Out longest trip has been 10 weeks, will try to break our personal record this winter. Pleasure Way focuses on Quality, and Customer Service!!!

Nice all around rig not good for full time living.
