2015 Pleasure-Way Prestige In-Depth Walkthrough

- Being our first RV, we will always have a special place for our Pleasure-Way Prestige. It is a bittersweet parting. We are posting this for three reasons: (1) to remember what we had - the quality is exemplary; (2) to give someone who contemplating purchasing a Prestige an insight from the owner's viewpoint; (3) for the curious to see what a really good, high-quality small Class C (B+) RV should look like.
We are moving on because we have outgrown our 22' 9" tiny home on wheels. Because we intend to half-time, we would like to grow into something about 2 - 3 feet longer, but which would retain the smallness and driveability of the Pleasure-Way. For the money, we know we can never replace the Prestige's quality, so our trade-off is quality for space. For those who are single, or can manage in this size RV, there is no better choice than a Pleasure-Way.
While I intend to eventually produce a video from a tour of the factory that I took in September 2016, you can see how the Pleasure-Way's are made now by going to their website: www.pleasure-way.com
In April, about a month and a half after this video was made, we traded it in for a 2012 Winnebago Reyo that was exactly 2' 9" longer, and gave us the bedroom that we wanted but at the sacrifice of the nice bathroom and superior overall quality.
BTW, I have traded this 2015 Pleasure-Way Prestige in on a 2012 Itasca Reyo 25T, however, as of this date (June 5, 2017) this RV is for sale at Camping World of Mesa for $73,895 (good price!). While I usually don't have much luck with Camping World dealerships, I can whole-heartedly recommend Camping World of Mesa! Good People! The salespeople that I dealt with were John and Larry, and the sales manager is Matt. Best experience that I've had buying a vehicle, car or RV.
I'd love this coach. One day, maybe...
HI Ray!!! Great update on the Pleasure Way. Although I hate to see her go, a new chapter in your wonderful book of life can now be opened. I am grateful that I have had an opportunity to see her in person when you were my neck of the woods. I am "hoover" dam proud of you!
I made a comment, but it was fo a video I was previous watching.
I really love this unit. Pricey, but worth it.
I wonder how it is insulated for Canadian winters?
Hi Chris! Our Pleasure-Way Prestige (the Pursuit upgrade) was made in Saskatoon. While not truly 4-season, few are, we had it in Kamloops in late fall and it was very comfortable. With the Ford V10 gas engine instead of the Sprinter diesel, I loved it better than what we have now. Best bathroom in a small RV. The deficit for us was that Vicki disliked making the electric couch into a bed every night and unmaking it in the morning.
what is in that back basement storage compartment on the passenger side?
That's actually not a storage compartment but an access door to the grey tank for a mechanic. You'd have to ask Pleasure-Way why they designed it that way.
What is in the compartment on the passenger side at the back?
It is an access door for the probes on the gray water tank.
Hey, was the bed comfortable with all those cushion pieces?
It's a complicated answer: This is Ray and when I traveled alone for work, I slept on the couch as it was (my wife, Vicki, joked that this was just like home!). The reason I did this was because the individual pieces of the couch were hard to sleep on, as you suspect, because of the corded trim on the cushions. I think that whether you are talking this model or another, that this is a common problem with the articulated bed concept. The "ultra-leather" itself was, however, like butter and the best fabric I've ever felt to sleep on. Just wish that it would have held up better under long-term use. Another issue (the fatal one) about this type of bed-couch concept is that we got to hate having to make it up every night and then return it to a couch every morning. This is why we ultimately replaced this Pleasure Way with another RV which had a dedicated bed. If Vicki didn't like RVing or I was single, I would still have this RV. The rear bathroom was the best ever and the Pleasure Way quality is excellent, but I would always sleep on the couch, as a couch.
What is the height of the rv?
skimmie on the road 11 feet
Me gustaría saber cómo puedo comprar uno así
rvtrader.com
Could I ask the price?
Patrick Wagz Yes, I have it up on RVTrader for $75k. NADA average retail is $83,350.
For everyone interested if this is sold - it is. Sorry. As there were only 250 ever made (and there won't be any more made) they are (will be) scarce. As of this writing, there are two for sale anywhere, and coincidentally, they are both at dealerships on Main Street in Mesa, Arizona across from each other. Camping World and Paul Evert. Don't pay more than $79,900 retail.
Ok...the "uhms and ahhs" were kinda getting on nerves lol... Canadian?? Anyway, this coach is absolutely stunning. I don't like "roughing" it, or sleeping in tents in the woods. But this is so darn elegant and truly luxurious...and yes, that shower is to die for. Just beautiful all the way around.
How much?
I bought it new for $75k in 2015. That was with an MSRP OF $114K. They are selling now in the high $50-low $60s.
@@ChristianTravelers Wow, not cheap at all lol.
@@Alvin_Vivian Actually, with the RV shortage which started last year, now they've gone up to a CRAZY price of between $76,500-$99,995 and that's for four 2014 Pursuits (a year older and the base model to the Prestige)!!
