Always enjoy when you two take a van out for a trial. User experience is different from just a product review. Did you use the 12 volt a/c? Curious where you are originally from…can’t hear an accent and you both are great speakers!
I've been trying to find a video showing where the dump station is. Ford versions of this van are rare on TH-cam and even brochures seem to focus more on the sprinters. Also curious to know if that AC uses more power, 20,000 btu, or possibly more efficient if it can keep temps in check better. That heater location is a concern as you mention, but I would hope the cab room is still better than a Promaster for moderately tall people. There's a 2022 about an hour from me for $109.9k with 29k miles. Same classy white exterior, but more normal Milkweed / Satin Interior Wood Finish and freedom eco package. Tempting as I had been eyeing a shorter Pleasure-Way Ontour 2.0, but really would like a real lithium system that Pleasure-Way waited until 2024. The bathroom is a big priority to me, and this one is equally nice as Pleasure-Way, but with it's own vent. Lots of pros with this, 2022 with tons of safety features, a Ford van that looks as nice as a Sprinter, above average build quality and luxury feel, and a decent lithium system with what sounds like more common components (VS say what is in a Roadtrek or Entegra) I had seen a 2024 Midwest in person and thought it was nice, but of my price range. Interior cabinet style feels a bit outdated, but compensates that with smooth fit and finish and soft materials that were better than most other brands (Haven't seen a Coachmen yet in person). One thing I didn't like was when sitting on the rear sofa, I had about 2 inches under the cabinet (I'm 6'2"). I'd assume this means no one tall should ride back to avoid hitting their head due to how bouncy cargo vans can be. The new rear seats were also a bit stiff and with more noticeable gaps with the bench down (especially due to the sharp box shape of the cushions). Good to hear your experience wasn't as bad as I was expecting when sleeping.
Hey Timothy…I would definitely say check out the vans in person if you can before you make your decision…You can always do upgrades, especially if you get a good price…some places will even make up for you (like SSRV) Ford will get you into service when needed from the chassis side a lot easier than Mercedes…it really all comes down to what fits you and feels right to you though

The weather wasn’t perfect but you got to see the legend flying rich and the updates look great with this class of van
Right, that was a crazy rainstorm and it was very cool to spend the day hanging with Rich!
Super nice coach but
I still like the rear bath, which leaves more roomy feelings in the coach. 😊
❤❤❤😊😊
Yeah I'm also a fan of the RB
That is a good looking van.
Yeah if it wasn't for the Ford Oval it would look like a Sprinter
It would look less dated if they went with a light burl, but it's still classy & quality.
Good Point (I should have mentioned that) totally agree, I think the simple or subdued wood grains are more timeless

Thanks Steven, yeah we did use the AC (no issues to report) So I was born in Guyana (South America) and Lola was born in Ghana (West Africa) 😁
@@strangerpalooza Awesome, I was expecting Ohio or California, lol!😂

Everything you liked or dislike I felt the same way as you explained the things.
Its like we're on the same brain wavelength 😁
Only until the election is over and we can go back to having different opinions. 😂
Love it if the price was right.
If you keep an eye out you may catch these used…there’s just not a lot of them though
