Class B reviews

This unit is easy to drive, find street parking and jump from location to location. There is sufficient storage for our needs and the V* motor has sufficient power for towing. AC unit and heater works well, and TV is easy to operate. Love this thing! Don't wait too long before starting to travel! Show less

Love this RV. Love how we can park it anywhere yet comfortable to cook relax and sleep in. The absolute perfect vehicle in its class. The Mercedes ride is smooth sailing. Service at Mercedes has been above average. No problems with the Winnebago half . Ergonomically designed for inside days when it rains too. Show less

This RV drives, tows, and works great. Power and transmission are excellent. Fuel economy was +/- 14mpg at 70 mph towing Jeep Cherokee. The power for hill climbing is excellent as well. The overall driving performance way exceeded expectations for a 3500 Sprinter. M.B. also was excellent regarding service questions. We had no problems with the chassis. None. We had very minor issues with electronics and maxx fan when new, and Renegade directly resolved all issues promptly when our dealer was derelict. The fit and finish of the coach are excellent. This is our 3rd motorized unit, and is by far the best built. I did add the Hellwig sway bar, which improved handling greatly. Well worth the $350, and I could install it myself. Our layout has theater seats instead of a couch. The table supplied is Ok, but a small folding table was helpful as counter space for meal prep is minimal. The power management system by Firefly works slick. They supported my need to run the AC off the inverter. Overall, this is a great rig. Show less

Drives as well as any Mercedes, very comfortable and the interior is awesome! Everything on the vehicles worked extremely well over the past 7/8 years except one item> the 2.5 KW Onan Generator. Onan/Cummins had issues with the voltage/fuel regulator. The part can (and was) replaced; however, it's extremely difficult to find reputable mechanics that are willing to work on these "on-board" generators, and most Cummins dealers and service centers will not work on RV's. I did find one Cummins dealer an hour away tht claimed they could fix it; however, this misdiagnosed the problem 3 times and after 4 trips there and back, as well as 7 months waiting on different parts each month....I gave up and found an independent RV dealer that fixed it within 3+ months. Bottom line: All good on this make and model but just don't count on using the generator often. Show less

I saw an ad for the sale of the same model and year of my Plearure-way. So, I thought I would share my experience. My wife and I own and travel in our 2008 Ford Pleasure-way. It has been very wonderful to camp across the United States. I can easily park the vehicle -- it is only 20 feet long. 2008 Pleasure-way Excel TS Class B motorhome is Pleasureway's most popular model. It has a wide-body with a forward facing sofa that also makes into a 6'4' bed. The generator in our unit is loud, so we do not use it. We do not seem to need it. It has lots of cabinet storage both inside and out. The kitchen has all the essentials. It has an outdoor shower hose, but we have never used it. The gets about 14 miles per gallon -- 17 tops. I hope this information helps someone. Show less

We've lived 2 years full time on the road, 28,000 miles. The screen door broke 2 times, replaced by Thor, inverter went after 2 years not only did Thor replace it and fix the diode that was the problem they flew a tech from Texas to Tucson to troubleshoot, order parts and had the dealership fix it. Thor like other American made RVs get a bad wrap but, our experience has been nothing but great! Show less

The dealership spent a half day tightening screws, table, door latches. Couldn't get it home from dealer without thinking it was going to burn up. The support phone number was useless and wanted us to sit in the RV for the weekend without anything working, including heat, in about fifteen degrees. We prepared to jump out of the vehicle as it was smoking but found a Ford dealership who spent hours with us trying to figure out the problem. A relay from the engine to the living area. It was disconnected, got it home the rest of the way discovering additional other problems. Took a lot for manufacturer to agree to fix the numerous problems. Drive it there an left it for weeks. We went through what they said they checked, but still didn't fix all the problems. We've driven thousand of miles and none for pleasure. Dealership nor manufacturer will take it back. Absolutely do NOT recommend Nexus! Show less

Our previous class-b was a fantastic Great West Van and the Galleria 24FL floorplan was the closest to the GWV. We ordered our new van at a rv show and was told it would be 6-8 weeks. After an 8 month wait, it was delivered from the factory with numerous problems, including a burned out awning controller and missing bed cushion. After refusing delivery for a month, nothing was repaired, so we took delivery and had to fix all the problems ourselves. Nine months later, the Galleria was totaled due to an electrical fire in the 12-volt wiring cabinet while sitting in storage. Coachmen made promises to get us back on the road quickly but failed to fulfill any of their promises or compensate us on our losses. Show less

Very nice quality of workmanship. Hymer is considered a highly respected brand in Europe. My model which I drove awhile was built on a Dodge ProMaster 2500 drivetrain. The nice thing about that is most mechanic shops are familiar with the build in comparison to the common Mercedes model that Hymer also utilizes. The Dodge model is a workhorse long mile rated machine. The Hymer build out offers a comfortable layout with adequate comfort for four people. It’s nice to have the option of a shower and toilet, though not the largest accommodation it’s well utilized space and convenient. There are two beds, lower is a double and upper a queen. The stove is a two burner high output propane that performs well. The heater is good though distribution vents good be improved. Overall it’s a nice bit and most that experience the Hymer will agree it’s a quality RV. Show less

We purchase in Ashland, VA. Dealership had the RV driven down from the factory. We had a two hour class on the operation and everything was set up on our arrival. We're fine with our RV. During our 2 year warranty plan, the biggest issue was the passenger window got sticky and it was immediately replaced. I would say, if you are not RV Savey, take or request the technicians to give you a class before you leave. New stuff is exciting, but unless you know how to use it, it can be a bummer. Show less
