Ratner than commission this vehicle, it is now priced to sell.
This month I had a retired couple come inspect and take home the PW RV for the night. Both are engineers and currently own a Pleasure Way without a toilet or shower. That was their primary interest in the Plateau XL. They went over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb. I asked them to write a critique of what they found. It is as follows:
“Van rides beautifully. Overall condition is not bad. Skylight while not leaking could be $1,000 to replace. It will leak eventually. Awning fix could be a few hundred dollars (although it does work manually). Bathroom skylight aged, is sun damaged and will leak eventually. Water heater has been replaced. Windshield washer clips are a pain to replace. Table top is not original. There is a dent in hood (from a tree limb). Need to replace dashboard and sound system to be current. Overall, repairs/upgrades would be $5,000 to $6,000. It's a nice vehicle for someone”. It also has a brand new air conditioning unit but as the potential buyers pointed out, it still functions the same as before replacement.
Pictures of damage are now included in this RVTrader ad.
I am considering consignment of my RV but the cost to the purchaser will go up at least 10% over the current asking price of $75,000 if I sign a contract. One entity wants to list the PW Plateau XL at $83,400. Another dropped the proposed list price by $6,625 over a 3 week time period. I would like to sell the vehicle by the end of April so time is of the essence. As of now, mileage on the RV is 63,000.
There is no question that the Mercedes engine will last a long, long time. The RV is now 11 years old and showing signs of wear. However, all the appliances and perks found in and on the vehicle are still in very good working order.
The Pleasure Way Plateau XL is a wonderful vehicle. Personally, I have found it is too small to live in and because of the extra width and height, too challenging for me to drive. The Murphy Bed is a big plus in terms of comfort and the maple cabinetry is exceptional. Had the bed been rotated 90 degrees, I believe the engineer couple would have made the purchase.
My original ad continues below. Please contact me if you have any interest. If you are Canadian and have serious interest, I'd be glad to bring the RV to you for closer inspection.
If you like Pleasure Way vehicles, please make an inquiry. The 2015 RV has been well maintained over the past decade. The 2015 Silver Pleasure Way Plateau XL Class B motor home is just under 23' long and 18" wider than a standard sprinter van. This XL has been been driven 63,000 miles, has a 6 cylinder Mercedes diesel engine and has been well-maintained
