MSRP $85,150 - Tour the 2022 Pleasure-Way Tofino B-Class RV

[@souettequinn4663]

This is just what I've been looking for. I never looked at Pleasure Way because i knew the brand was too expensive to fall within my budget. Last week, the sales person helping me hunt for the best RV match for me called and said HURRY!...that her sister dealership in Florida had a "Show Stopper" special about to be posted. It was this van for $69,900. THAT met my budget and appeared to be everything I needed. So here I am reading and searching for all I can on the model I put my money down to hold until I get to Florida next week.

[@Adventure-Mom]

Hello Souette, So glad you found the right RV for you and good luck with the purchase. Thanks for Watching!

[@readynow7430]

That price is amazing, but we bought a new Class C for that same price last year. Only thing is, it’s too big for me to drive, though all the space is absolutely great! I hate why these Class B’s have to be so expensive! If it was cheaper, more like $60,000 or less, and they figured out a portable tent shower/toilet solution, I would probably buy this one. I really need something short and a lot cheaper.

[@laurieturns8845]

We are looking in Florida also for exactly this vehicle. Do you mind sharing what dealer helped you to find the Tofino Pleasure Way? Thanks!

[@gerryc270]

Nice video! I have owned a Tofino since this past summer. I am a lifelong tent camper and the older I get, the less I want to sleep on the ground. Coming from this perspective, the van has been awesome. I have a bed, heat, a sink, cooking ability - all within the van. We use it in the mountains - no need for AC - and USB fans have proven just fine for us. Port-a-potty is all we need and don't have to deal with black tank issues. It looks like a regular van, easily parks anywhere and costs way less than a fully equipped Class B. Lithium power and solar is fine for days without hookups. If you come from a history of tent camping, this is a huge step up and a worth the cost for Pleasure Way quality (although I paid quite a bit less than the $85,150 noted). It is a fantastic van but certainly not for everyone.

[@Adventure-Mom]

Thank you for commenting, I love to hear about people's experiences. Sounds like you have found the perfect van. I agree that it can be a stealth van and perfect for weekend or camping trips as well. Thanks for Watching!

[@ftkinsella]

I’m beginning to like the Pleasure-way vans. They seem well built but also very expensive. There might be a Pleasure-way in our future. Great review again. Cheers!!!

[@Adventure-Mom]

Pleasure-Way does make a nice RV. Thanks for Watching!

[@philc.9280]

We bought a slightly used Pleasure way back in 2000. Had it since and its still running strong. They are build in Canada so I always felt they had more insulation for the extreme temps. We are tempted to get a brand new Sequence or Tellaro but will wait for now

[@readynow7430]

Oh, that tripod table is perfect for holding soap shampoo etc. for a tent shower while showering!

[@Adventure-Mom]

It definitely can be placed wherever you need it. Thanks for Watching!

[@ZaideZaide770]

I really like your reviews, always so descriptive and informative....thanks for posting.

[@Adventure-Mom]

Thank you so much for the compliment and Thanks for watching!

[@rickt1951]

I like just about everything about this class b I just wish it had a bathroom and generator. Great review by the way.

[@Adventure-Mom]

Hello Rayray, I agree those are the biggest downsides of this RV. Thanks for watching!

[@rickt1951]

@@Adventure-Mom at least it has a spare tire.

[@genebooher1707]

Don't mind no shower but least a porta-potty , no rear a/c no pop down t.v. or stero , gotta have music as I relax fall asleep and wake up to.thxs for showing

[@Adventure-Mom]

You can always bring a portable potty, use the engine AC, and the van radio. Thanks for Watching

[@kandicenagel5257]

Love the length and pop top, fit in a bathroom and I'd be sold!

[@Adventure-Mom]

The Thor Rize / Scope are similar in size and have a large wet bath. However, they are missing the pop top. Thanks for Watching!

[@lili-vp6du]

Scope A does have pop top and bathroom

[@hugogomez7043]

Very professional video Thank you !

[@Adventure-Mom]

Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for Watching!

[@readynow7430]

I would LOVE a SHORT RV like this if only it had a take down shower tent that had a bottom holding pan (like a perfect size black square, plastic rabbit pan) near the back seat and sink, with a hole near the bottom and a tube for gray water to escape to the outside camp drain. It could have water hosed from the kitchen sink for the shower and the tent standing in front of the side door inside the camper, with the tent door facing the back of the camper. A portable potty could be hidden under the back couch and be easily pulled out into the tent before taking a shower. Everyone uses the toilet and shower in the morning at the same time in privacy, and everyone’s 😊 happy till you leave to go go somewhere. No running around unhooking everything outside, and hunting for a shower house. You can get the shower tents on EBay , put them up and take them down in a jiffy. My problem would be having a tight connection on the sink and also where the hole would connect to the the drain tube with a tight connection. I’m no construction person, but it seems to be an easy solution to me. Any suggestions? Anyone have another solution? It looks like plenty of room in there to have a take down tent in front of the sink.

[@Adventure-Mom]

This is a very nice RV and I agree that a portable shower and pop-up bathroom would be a great addition. Thanks for watching!

[@bb.cute.channel]

Is there a bathroom?

[@KenKellySWFL]

Where’s the generator? Does it now have A/C?!

[@Adventure-Mom]

Hello Ken, some RV do not have or even need generators. Generators are only required when you have large items to power such as a AC. Thanks for Watching!

[@laramie_1944]

This is a nice entry-level, minimalist class b! But what if you’re from AZ, TX, or FL? No AC nor vents. Do you know if it’s even possible to install a maxxair fan? Thank you.

[@Adventure-Mom]

I agree, living in FL I could not live without AC in the summer. However, you do have the cab AC unit and it does work well enough to keep the unit cool but of course that means you are running the engine. Thanks for Watching!

[@Desperado3248]

No bath, no generator, no entertainment system, a big minivan for $82 k. No way

[@Adventure-Mom]

I was surprised as well but it does have the advantage of being a very stealth camper. Thanks for watching!

[@jkolodzinski]

Anyone can get all the conveniences, but for a price at least twice the cost of this one.

[@readynow7430]

How much IS this RV anyway? Does this have hot water? I may have missed something as I had some interference watching it

[@Adventure-Mom]

The MSRP is around $85k, however the actual price you pay depends on the dealership and your ability to negotiate. Thanks for watching!

[@joesalemi2414]

Love everything about this except the permanent propane refillable tank. I would rather use a removal 20 lb tank.

[@Adventure-Mom]

I agree and wonder why the industry does not pick up on this idea. The Pleasure way Recon is the only B-class RV that I have toured that has a 20lb removable propane tank. Thanks for Watching!

[@philc.9280]

I've never seen a "cheap" pleasure way so I was intrigued by one that is only 85K. I still drive my full-size 1999 class B pleasureway excell TW. Without a bathroom, this would eliminate a lot of people, especially me. Your videos are helping me decide on our next new class B. Pretty much settling on a thor sequence or tellero. Seems like all of the lower price Class B's are on a Dodge Promaster chassis for some reason.

[@Adventure-Mom]

The Mercedes platforms are more expensive than the dodge platforms. I had owned a Thor Tellaro and loved my time with it however make sure you conduct a really good PDI and get all the findings repaired before signing the paperwork. Thanks for Watching!

[@amiralions2681]

They're probably cheaper because they can never be converted to a 4x4.

[@philc.9280]

@@amiralions2681 Just curious as we've been RVing for over 30 years and I can only think of a couple occasions where a 4 x 4 would come in handy. It was during snow storms in the Tahoe area. A pair of chains worked for us. We don't go way off road but do use rustic campgrounds often. With $6 gas a 4x4 is another gas-guzzling feature.

[@jasonlucas2328]

@@philc.9280 I work remotely full time. Usually, I go snowboarding a couple of months a year. I rent Airbnb, but it becomes expensive when it has good snow. I plan to buy a 4 x 4 class B so I can park close to the slope early in the morning. I can save a lot of money on hotels. I prefer a cassette toilet because it can function during the snow.

[@IMDABROWN]

Have a great weekend

[@Adventure-Mom]

You too, Thanks for Watching!

[@rickowen4410]

I like that color. Kind of a light gray?

[@Adventure-Mom]

[@richbowie76]

Hykermom ! I love this van !

[@Adventure-Mom]

LOL, love the new name! Thanks for Watching!

[@jeffcoleman6444]

How can you sleep in the USA without an air conditioner /?

[@Adventure-Mom]

This van is less than 18 feet and Ram standard AC is very good and would do a good job at cooling the van. Of course that means you will need to idle the engine, but at least you can cool the interior. Thanks for Watching!

[@norskyg]

Sewer hose on the inside?

[@Adventure-Mom]

The sewer hose is only for grey water. Thanks for Watching!

[@ellentomasiewicz790]

What is the wheelbase of this van?

[@Adventure-Mom]

I believe that is the Ram 1500 with the 118" wheel base. Thanks for Watching!

[@shunsato6621]

Available 4WD?

[@Adventure-Mom]

Unfortunately the Ram platform is only Front wheel drive. Thanks for Watching!

[@ronaldbowman8948]

What are the bed dimensions?

[@Adventure-Mom]

The lower bed is a queen size 54" X 72" while the pop top bunk bed is a 49" X 72". Thanks for watching!

[@danarcher6749]

what is the occc?

[@Adventure-Mom]

The O.C.C.C for the Pleasure-Way Tofino is 2000lbs. Thanks for Watching!

[@rogerwise4105]

Where's the bathroom............?

[@Adventure-Mom]

Sorry, no bathroom in this b-class. However, this van could really be a stealth B-Class as you really can not tell it is an RV and it could be great for traveling. Thanks for Watching!

[@abstractreasoner]

The foldable toilet with a disposable waste bag works well for me when tent camping. It would probably be usable in the back area.

[@lisoliveira]

$85,150 for an empty van? I'm confused.

[@Adventure-Mom]

This is more of a weekender van for campgrounds and someone trying to Stealth camp as it does not look like an RV. Thanks for Watching!

[@Desperado3248]

Exactly . Useless

[@eduardocruzo8607]

@@Adventure-Mom Where do you pee or poop? The van itself is under $40K. $45K more for what? No Bath, no AC, not even a fan.

sewer hose storage inside the van. bad move Pleasure-way.

[@GENECARP]

That is insane…can’t believe someone thought that was a good idea..

[@liam23wi]

There is no black tank. It's only water that comes from the kitchen sink.

[@GENECARP]

@@liam23wi Grey water can still get rancid…I don’t see any advantage to giving up inside storage for a dirty wet hose..

[@danarcher6749]

@@liam23wi It’s still a idea. Bacteria and mold from the sink tanks is now inside your rv by the bed. And not everyone sprays out there tank hose.

[@ddeltres]

Nice tour. But pass. No restroom/shower. Probably why the price point is frugal compared to others.

[@Adventure-Mom]

This RV seems to be more focused on the weekender that only camps at full service campgrounds or maybe for the occasional day at the beach. Thanks for watching!

[@lindalam8137]

I really like your reviews, thank you for posting, I have been searching for a RV for 2 years, didn’t find the one I like, today I saw your reviewed I know what I want now 😊 can I have your salesman contact info Thank you again

[@Adventure-Mom]

Hello Linda, Thanks for the warm compliment. This particular RV was at North Trail RV in Fort Myers FL and you can contact Tim at 239 - 309 - 2299. Thanks for Watching!

[@jcnredpizzawindow2219]

Find me a better deal with a pop-top. Thor wants 100K with pop-top.

[@Adventure-Mom]

Sorry, I am not associated with any dealership but I can get you a contact in SW FL if you like. Thanks for watching!

[@jcnredpizzawindow2219]

Was really replying to the comments about how expensive it is with no toilet and shower. To me so far it’s a great price.

[@brownbuter]

id rather get a thor rize or a solis pocket rather than get this..

[@mweber2000]

Hmmm, a cargo van with a kitchen, for 80k.

[@Adventure-Mom]

To me this RV is for a weekend at your local campground or maybe a day trip to the beach. It is a very stealth camper van. Thanks for Watching!

[@jeffcoleman6444]

Can you get a portable ac and run it ? Anyone know.

[@Adventure-Mom]

It would be difficult as the van does not have an opening for fresh air or really any place to put an AC. The Thor Rize/Scope are pop-tops with in cabin AC but they do have a side cutout for fresh air. They even come with a generator. Thanks for Watching!

[@GreatUncleAl]

The Sewer hose is stored on the inside of the van! How Gross is that, Nasty!

[@Adventure-Mom]

That was my first thought as well and then I realized that it is only grey water not black. Also, this van is stealth with no indications on the outside that this is an RV ... perfect for flying under the radar of your local HOA. Thanks for Watching!
