It's good to see you on you tube. Thanks for sharing. It really inspires the rest of us. Great rig. If it was me, I might put in brand new water lines and tank so I know it's not 16 yrs old. But it seems your jug works fine for you. Also, for the toilet I hear the natures head composting toilet is awesome. No chemicals or black water tank needed. But yes, public bathrooms work just great. Saw a video on here of a 72 yr old woman who built her own van, she relied on public shower and bathrooms and then didn't have it in her rig which she used the extra space for extra pull out bedroom drawers. But for me I'm thinking having the bathroom and shower is good in case I'm in middle of nowhere? Sooo many options. I like the shower space of yours as found in the roadtreck, but I think I like the normal walking floors in a pleasureway. Forgive me writing so much. I'm just excited about this stuff. Thanks for sharing.
@WanderDano
@WanderDano 5 жыл бұрын
thanks for the kind words. I have considered a composting toilet but honestly because I use it so little I don't think I will do it but I do agree have the option is required for me. If I was the type to spend the winter or months in the desert or boondocking I would probably do things different. I have friends that do and the concerns of water and dumping tanks is a real thing in those situations. No need to apologize.

I know that you have done a tour of your van but this was an in-depth tour. Thanks so much for this tour. We debated about a Class B but decided for our needs, a conversion van was better. Now, I kind of wish we had gone with the Class B. Going down the steps, I turn around and go down backwards. I have found that keeps me for knocking my head on the van. Been there and did that too many times and have the knots on my head to prove it!

You have the coolest shower setup I have ever scene in a class "B" Camper Van ! I boondock in my 1981 Ford Econolpne 250 Camper Van, but I don't have a shower or hot water (YET !) and I have no choice but to bathe in Public Recreational Centres and camp ground bathrooms (Which I hate doing). I love the pull out privacy doors and central floor with drain for taking your showers in van in total privacy ! In theory, this allows you to take a shower in any Wal-Mart Parking lot or truck stop. Very cool indeed

Sorry for the delayed response. THANKS ! I am really happy with this RV. I can understand you wanting a shower but to be honest it is very rare I use mine.

Wow, very cool class b. I have a 1997 VW Eurovan Camper (Vw buses and vanagon models were called Westfalias, the Eurovan models are made by Winnebago so no longer called Westfalias) with the 2.8 V6 but it does not have the indoor shower or toilet, it does have fresh water and grey water tanks, the outdoor shower, stove, sink, refrigerator, propane tank, RV battery in the back, tables, swivel captain chairs, a bed on the bottom for two and room for two more when you pop up the top, and lots of storage. I bought a portable toilet at Walmart which I carry inside, when I use it I just put a thick plastic bag in the bowl and add cat litter and just dump it into a trashcan after use. I do use the outdoor shower to wash my hair and face, for the rest of my body I use wipies. Your model is definitely more complete and a better way to go in my opinion. The thing I like about mine is that it's more stealthy so I can park anywhere while I travel without any issues with the police. Your model definitely looks like an RV, mine looks more like a regular van. Mine gets 15 MPG in the city and 19-20 MPG in the Hwy. which I like. Thanks for sharing, maybe I will do a video to show mine in the near future.

Hi again. Us Ohioans have to stick together. Lol. Check this out. You know how it's hard and rare to find a class b like yours in Ohio? And sometimes you might have to drive all the way to Florida to find one? Check this out. There is RV dealer called Kuhn Truck and RV. They buy these from all over and actually have a bunch of these. They are right here in Sherwood Ohio I think? Google them and check them out. Look them up on you tube here also. I first found them here on you tube. I'm sooo excited that an Ohio dealer specializes in them. Freaking awesome.

yeah I see they have a pretty good selection. Their pricing was a bit high but I'd think there is wiggle room on most. I drove 600 miles to Springfield Missouri when I finally found mine. I did over a year of searching and saw more Class B's than I can remember. lol The Pleasure Ways and Leisure Travels are very similar -- they are like cousins. I couldn't be happier with mine and all I ever suggest is see as many in person as you can to find the aspects that you like and dislike until you find which RV is right for you. It isn't easy to tamp down the excitement and jumping in but from so many people I have met the RIGHT for you RV makes the most difference. Happy searching lol

Nice video. Very comprehensive and to the point. I was thinking of buying a class b which would be my first time getting involved with any type of camper. Do the waste tanks smell very much? I noticed you mentioned them but you kind of skimmed over that subject. Are they difficult to empty?
@WanderDano
@WanderDano 4 жыл бұрын
I hoped it could be helpful. As for the tanks, there are times you can smell them. there are chemicals you can add to cut the smell but being realistic it can at times. I've never thought it to be terrible but I also don't use mine very much. lol Times I do use it I do the things that really do minimize the smell. It's pretty simple and straightforward to empty any black and gray tanks on an RV. I hope that helps

there is a reason why there is an extra wash-basin beside the toilette. after using the toilette, there is always bacteria on the hand, when washing the hand over the kitche-sink, the bacteria will be in the sink and then containate the food that is prepared. to avoid bacteria contaminating food, there is that extra washbasin and faucet beside the toilette.

Hi there! Nice tour, thank you!!! Mine is a 2000 Pleasure Way, bought it 2 years ago, I LOVE it! I named it Vincent Go Van :)... I paint landscapes and since first seeing Class Bs in 1993, I have wanted one to travel across Canada to paint my country! At last I will do it this spring/summer/fall, OR, I will "do" the Yukon. In fact, the Yukon is more appealing to me this year, for some reason!!! Either way, I am already getting ready. Having Vincent checked over by my mechanic friend Bob, I am also getting my propane set up checked, and getting all of the necessities, solar radio, gun perhaps, etc... I will do videos on everything I get done. Thank you for the great tour! Please check out own my tour when it is up, I would appreciate it. Take good care!

Hello, do you still have this van?.. if so have you had any major issues?..would you say buying a 20 year old van is worth it?
@WanderDano
@WanderDano Жыл бұрын
I still have it and couldn't be much happier with it at all. The only real problem I've ever had was a transmission problem. I had it go and had it rebuilt abut 5 years ago. I've put thousands and thousands of miles on it since. Including several really long trips, one to the west coast through the Rockies and back and haven't had a problem since. With the price of new Class B's easily being 150 to 200 K I'd say yeha older ones are still worth seriously considering. I would never pay new prices and I honestly prefer the set up and storage of mine more than new ones. You just have to be mentally prepared for possible problems and not everything in an older one not being factory new, normal wear and tear of an older van is not an issue in my opinion. You can still spend what seems like a lot on an older one because the new ones are insane!! Hope that helps.

Is the furnace very efficient since it's being hid under the bed? does the underside of the bed get super hot to the touch? I'd be a little bit nervous about the heat under there
@WanderDano
@WanderDano 9 жыл бұрын
dsanford12 It does well under there, the blower moves the heated air just fine. It doesn't get hot to the touch - warm yes but not hot. Pretty much every single Class B will have the furnace located in basically the same spot. No risk of fire from that location.

On highway drives I can usually get 15 mpg - when I keep to the "sweet spot" in rpms. :-) I track my mileage pretty closely as example one trip was Ohio to Key West Fl (vast majority at highway speeds) and I got 15.3 mpg over the entire distance of 1450 miles.

Great presentation but all those who have Vans never end up showing their engine compartment. I wonder if they make those fans in the four-wheel drive. And go the extra step of putting caterpillar tracks so they can glide into the snow. Great presentation but no engine compartment characteristics what type of engine do you have is it is it a 5.7 L V8 350 Allison Transmission.

Great looking van. There is a 1997 model for sale, near where I live. It has low mileage, a little over 20,000 miles. It has been kept in a garage and is very clean. Their asking price is $28,500.00. Does that sound like a fair price? It looks identical to yours, but just a little older.
@WanderDano
@WanderDano 9 жыл бұрын
that is good mileage for sure... but to me that price sounds a little high. my guess would be to search down as many comps to it as possible and maybe it could change a price they would accept. the one thing I have seen is class b's are desirable and new are OMG expensive so many people might pay that much. it does remind me that I am totally sure I could turn mine for a good profit.
@KeatShadows
@KeatShadows 9 жыл бұрын
+Wander Dano Thanks for your opinion. I thought it sounded rather expensive, but wasn't for sure. I think it belongs to a lady and she hasn't used it much. The low mileage is great, but I am wondering, if being kept in storage and not driven much would cause some mechanical problems. I have just recently gotten interested in class B motor homes. I have stayed away from the class A and class C, because that is much more than I want to drive. A friend suggested I look at the class B motor home and that seems like something I might enjoy. Your video is very informative. There is one thing you pointed out that I hadn't thought about. That is bending over to go out the side door. I am 72 and suffer from arthritis in my left knee, my hip and also my back. I walk with two canes, so bending over might prove to be too much for a guy in my condition.

TheTexasbuddy Honestly RV pricing can get confusing. here is the situation (problem) I will add the kbb.com value for RVs link... BUT... many people refuse to go by that value. I tried to make educated guesses on what it would most likely have. I think with your knees these older body styles could be difficult and possibly painful to get in and out of. I think (mainly a guess) your best option may be to look for a newer used sprinter van styled class b to make getting in and out better for you. I hope this helps www.nadaguides.com/RVs/1997/Leisure-Travel-Vans/Freedom-Widebody/3020388/Values

Even know ive seen inside your rig before, This video got better angles and gotta say if if i had one. maybe i feel ok about it because i dun weight allot. but looks like over the drivers side maybe can rig up couple support beans and put a bed over the drivers section there (4:33). Have a bed that you can take apart or whatever when not asleep and leave the back side open for a table if you wanted or make it a little living room. But sure you got your own thing figured out. :P One thing i could never stand is your shower, I do not like that style at all. And 9:39. Really there commodes. Unlike a porta potty, commodes in the RV have the running water to them, which with the chemicals used properly, and your commode having a good seal holding some water. you don't notice the diff till you flush it. then its just gravity. So you can say its like a hybrid of a standard toilet and a porta potty. lol
@WanderDano
@WanderDano 9 жыл бұрын
Troy Foxxin I don't think a bed over the front seats would work. not much head room. plus there is enough seating in there and I go outside as much as I can. Yeah - some people don't like that kind of shower but it works for me plus I don't use RV showers very often. A real toliet flushes away stuff - these are holding tanks and you can mediate smells a bit but I prefer to use other facilities when possible. you shouldn't leave the drains open when at a place with dump facilities.
