[@mvemerson]

Excellent and super useful video. Thanks so much!!

[@tdadventures]

We are so happy to hear that you find the video useful. Thank you.

[@beahaven]

Very clear, well organized and informative video. I am guessing one of you had prior teaching experience. Other KZbinrs could learn from it. Well done.

[@tdadventures]

Wow !! what a nice compliment !! Thank you so much for saying that. We don't have prior teaching experiences other than raising our 3 daughters. And David spent 30+ years in IT, including providing customer support. We like getting to the point and not wasting people's time. It drives us bananas when we watch clickbait KZbin videos that never get to the answer.

[@beahaven]

I appreciate all the effort that goes into making a video. However, I have been very frustrated recently while watching disorganized and confusing videos. I keep hoping they will present their content better. I'm often left with more questions than answers. It's such a relief to watch such a well produced and organized video like this one. Thanks.@@tdadventures

[@tdadventures]

@@beahaven We 100% hear and understand your frustrations.

[@pd6569]

Good morning Thavone and David. Just amazing….13,000 in 3 months. Wow, those larger batteries seem to make a big difference and give more even more freedom. Be safe and well.

[@tdadventures]

Hi Paul. Good morning!! Isn't crazy that we have already put on 13,000 miles in 3 months. We are not messing around !! So many places to see and explore for sure. We really love having the bigger batteries !! We feel so free !!

[@vancandew7375]

Did you ever need to use your auto start with your bigger batteries? All wheel drive, how often was it truly needed with your type of camping? Is it worth getting 3 mps less per gallon?? Great video, keep up the great work!!

[@tdadventures]

@@vancandew7375 No, we have not had the need to use the auto start with the bigger batteries. After traveling with our OnTour 2.0 almost 3 years, there were many places we wanted to check out but were afraid to explore because the roads required/recommended AWD. We don't feel limited anymore now that we have AWD.

[@carefulpilgrim]

Thanks for your informative and honest video! I appreciate that you did not talk excessively, like some videographers do!

[@tdadventures]

We have also watched many videos where there was a lot of talking and the video took forever to get to the point. Knowing that, we try to do the opposite.

[@lynnrogers2213]

Thank you. Great information.

[@tdadventures]

Thank you Lynn.

[@NWJay]

Thanks for comparing the two units. Looks like you are enjoying the upgrades on your 2024. Safe travels.

[@tdadventures]

Hi Jeff. Hi Karen. We really are enjoying the upgrades. We feel thankful !!

[@ziemfamily]

Great video, Thavone and David! I especially love how you manage to streamline your garage organization with those bigger batteries. Way to go adapting to your beautiful upgraded 2024!! Happy Trails!!🥰

[@tdadventures]

Hi Amanda. Hi Peter !! We managed to put two big chairs in and everything you see strapped to the bedframe. We really love having the big batteries and AWD. How are you doing with the snow? We don't have snow here in NM, it can still get down to 22 degrees at night.

[@ziemfamily]

Snow is melting here, we're in super slushy mode now. 22 degrees at night is cold!! Hope it doesn't last long for you. Spring is coming! 🙂 @@tdadventures

[@RichardGarvey-i7s]

Hi - we enjoy your videos. We have a ‘23 Ontour 2.0 and like seeing the mods you have made. I noticed you put an insulated cover over the roof fan. Do you have the information for that? Thanks! Rich

The dealer is ordering a new part. We are waiting for that part to arrive, there is no firm delivery date. We are traveling not too far away in case we get a call.

AWD all the way! Thanks for sharing.

Yes AWD all the way Sandra.

Where is the spare tire located

[@tdadventures]

Hi. The RV does not come with a spare tire. We had to purchase the spare tire and had the carrier installed. Here is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKapdqqrr7Gfd9U

[@desanders12]

@@tdadventures thank you for the information. 😊

[@nwgal65]

Wonderful! I learned so much, thank you. Can you share with me about the apple device? I would like to be easily able to watch tv. At home, I use Roku sticks and devices.

[@tdadventures]

The AppleTV connects to the TV via one of the HDMI ports on the TV. The AppleTV connects to the internet using our wifi hot spot. We turn on the hot spot, then the AppleTV and the TV(and the sound bar), and we are good to go. I think a Roku or an Amazon Fire stick would also work in this setup instead of the AppleTV. We already owned the AppleTV, so it was easy to bring it into the RV. Here is a link to the Apple site for the AppleTV. www.apple.com/shop/buy-tv/apple-tv-4k On the AppleTV we have downloaded apps such as Netflix, Max, Prime Video, DirectTV and so on, that we have subscriptions for. And of course KZbin, which we use all the time!

[@nwgal65]

@@tdadventures Thank you so much! Yesterday I just bought a very gently used 2023 2.0. You two have been very inspiring. Now that I have one, I will re-watch some of your videos.

[@tdadventures]

@@nwgal65 Fantastic!! Congratulations on the purchase!! We are so happy for you. Let us know if you have any questions about anything.

[@nwgal65]

@@tdadventures Thank you. I've learned so much from you, but now it's time to really get organized with info about my rig, take notes and all that. My dog is fear-reactive and not great with strangers, so I will be looking for boondocking quite a bit, which will necessitate watching resources like battery life, water, food, etc.

[@tdadventures]

@@nwgal65 If you have not already, to help you find places to boondock, be sure to download ioverlander app. We also like to use rvparky app. Also check out the Campendium KZbin channel to find best places to boondock. Safe travels. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqS4ZKyHeZeShNUfeature=shared

[@joycem2795]

Great info!

[@tdadventures]

Thank you Joyce

[@dlg5485]

I think PW vans are the best overall quality in the mainstream industry, but there are a few shortcomings, especially considering the high price. It is inexcusable that they order the Ford chassis with halogen headlights when the LED option is only a few hundred dollars. I also don't like all the body cutouts on the driver's side of the van, it looks terrible. That stuff could have been mounted or vented lower to not create such an eyesore. Not a fan of the huge PleasureWay badging either.

[@bSidesTheRoadTaken]

Thanks for sharing ❤

You're welcome Kayla

How is your rod mounted to stay up with curtain ?

[@tdadventures]

Hi Susan. We use a tension rod. Rod Desyne Oval Spring Tension Rod 36"-60", Black, 36. amzn.to/48DVIW8 We use this curtain from Target 1pc Blackout Braxton Thermaback Window Curtain Panel - Eclipse www.target.com/p/1pc-blackout-braxton-thermaback-window-curtain-panel-eclipse/-/A-14327236?preselect=12437067#lnk=sametab Similar curtain from Amazon Eclipse Kendall Modern Blackout Thermal Rod Pocket Window Curtain for Bedroom or Living Room (1 Panel), 42 X 84, Black amzn.to/42exr6Q

@@susanbochy9657 Susan, sorry, we are not able to finish the video today. We will work on it and will post it next Sunday 1/28/2024. See links above for the tension rod and curtain.

[@tdadventures]

HI Susan. Here is the video of how we mounted the curtain rod. It is toward the early part of the video and after we answered 3 questions about the batteries. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4Obk2ajbddkprc

[@mikebarnett7559]

Wonderful and informative video. Are you guys full-time van dwellers?

[@tdadventures]

Hi Mike. Thank you. We are not full-time, but we love traveling. We are on the road whenever we don't have commitments to attend to at home.

[@mikebarnett7559]

Thank you for the reply... 1. Would a single person be able to live full time in this van...in your opinion? 2. How much fuel does the generator burn over night when using the AC? 3. Is the generator connected directly to the main fuel tank? THANKS A BUNCH!! :) @@tdadventures

[@tdadventures]

@@mikebarnett7559 Mike: 1. Yes, a single person could live full time in this rig. While we are not full-time, the two of us have been on the road for 5 or 6 months at a time in our OnTour. And we have met many full-time Pleasure-Way owners. 2. We don’t power the AC using the generator(although we certainly could if we wanted to). We run the AC using shore power if we are connected to shore power. If we are not, we run the AC off of our batteries. All 2024 Pleasure-Way RV’s have 600 amp hours of battery, and this amount of battery can support running the AC off of battery power. We have run our AC overnight off of our batteries many times while boondocking in Florida. 3. The generator is connected to the van’s gas tank. There is a sensor that will prevent the generator from running when the gas tank is below 25%, to keep the generator from draining the tank. Don’t hesitate to contact Pleasure-Way directly at 800-364-0189 for further details about the generator and generator usage. They know a lot more than us!

[@mikebarnett7559]

Thank you so much. You have been very helpful. Safe and fun travels to you and your wife. @@tdadventures

How long is the warranty on the Ford chassis?

[@tdadventures]

Our 2024 OnTour 2.0 is built on a 2023 Ford Transit 350 chassis. The 2023 Ford Transits come with 3 year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper, and 5/60,000 powertrain warranties.

Dont these vans have alternator charging? Im a fan of Earthroamers so id maybe add solar as well.

[@tdadventures]

The van has alternator charging.

[@blackcatrose4257]

@@tdadventures They need to make it to where it will auto start when needed.

[@tdadventures]

@@blackcatrose4257 The alternator charges the batteries automatically when the engine is running.

[@blackcatrose4257]

@@tdadventures what I'm saying is like when your camping and sleeping. If batteries get low would be nice if alternator charger could auto start.

[@tdadventures]

​@@blackcatrose4257 The van comes with an AGS(Auto Generator Start) system. The onboard generator can be set to autostart due to a low battery condition, and/or when the air conditioner runs.

How is the gas mileage?

[@tdadventures]

We get between 18 to 19 miles per gallon on the highway. We get around 15 miles per gallon for city driving.
