Neil Balthaser, a Pleasure-Way owner and RV-focused UA-camr, recently came to the Pleasure-Way factory for an in-depth tour of our production facilities. In part 1 of the tour, Dean guides Neil through the Pleasure-Way welding, stripping and fiberglass departments.

Neil Balthaser is a self-professed evangelist of all things Class B van related and owner of a 2017 Pleasure-Way Ascent. On his popular Ultramobility UA-cam channel he reviews RVs, does head to head comparisons and answers viewer questions weekly.
This video enforces my belief that the highest quality that you can buy is PLEASUREWAY; great video
We have been shopping for the last 18 months. The *XLMB* is currently at the top of our list. Videos like this help more than we can say. We feel this kind of information is _vital_ when selecting an RV.
With his *_Ultramobility_* channel, _Neil_ has been instrumental in helping us shop for an RV. Including making us aware of the *XLMB* in the first place.
His head-to-head comparison video was invaluable in not only introducing us to the *XLMB,* but also our decision to make it our current #1 choice.
Thank you _so much_ for providing these videos!
Thomas Kelly the XLMB is also at the top of my list, and my biggest concern has been the strength of the roof/walls. You hear horror stories about water damage from leaks in Class B + vans. This makes me feel much better. I’m also one of Neil’s Patrons, sounds like you are too?
Very detailed. Can't wait for the next 3 parts. Side note: after 6 months of research and over 9 visits to various RV dealers we have decide on a Pleasure-Way Plateau TS. Now we just have to decide when to take the plunge - Sell the house, cars, and most belongings - put what's we are keeping in a Pod to store - and going touring for 1 year. EXCITING!!!!
Reinforces my desire fo a PW😀, 🙋♀️🐶🇨🇦
This truly gives "peace of mind" to knowing you have a quality built product once purchased, AND the company's confidence in it with the 5Year Warranty!
Thank you Neil and Dean! I think this is the only RV manufacturer-You Tuber relationship that comes across as truly transparent and authentic. Neil is consistently analytical and objective in his analyses, and the P-W side has been equally informative about the reasons behind their design choices and directions. Please keep it up -- we are learning a lot here...not just about P-W's business model, but design and cost trade-offs for all smaller RVs.
By far the most in-depth interview of Pleasure-Way's professional process I've seen. So much that I wold not have imagined or guessed about the thought that goes into a finished product. -Nice job on explaining the quality steps and durability! I don't want a RV that falls apart and know where to look, when I decide to purchase one.
Really impressed with Pleasure-Way! Looking forward to Parts 2-4. My favorites are the Plateau TS because of the galley area and the XLTD.
Wow love Pleasure Way more now very nice video👍🏽👍🏽and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Shawn !
THANK YOU...LOOKING FORWARD TO 2-4...PLANNING ON XLTD...INFO VERY REASSURING!!!
I am always so impressed with the build quality and attention to detail that Pleasure Way devotes to their product line... but this video just blows me away!
Time for a trip to Saskatoon... a tour of the PW production facilities may just be better than a trip to Disney! :-D
I love that they think about every little detail and spare no expense to make the best product they can. No shortcuts at Pleasureway.
That’s why you’ll see Pleasureway RVs from the 80’s still on the road and looking good. Their commitment to building high quality, safe, and durable products means you can enjoy your PW forever.
Nice video, Neil. Very informative. I like how Dean did the intro.
I'm interested in attaching a weBoost antenna and security camera with screws to the side of my 2018 Pleasure Way XLTD RV. How thick is the side fiberglass? Thank you and I love my RV.
Hello 2badger2 can you contact the PLeasure-Way service department and they can guide you as to the best attachment areas.
Very interested tour...thanks for another informative video.
Are you aware of any plans Pleasure way have on using the Ford Transit chassis?
Thanks
Hello Luis, Pleasure-Way has developed a Ford transit product for a Canadian rental company Canadream.
Thanks PW for giving us this inside tour with Neil, I’m one of his Patrons, and appreciate all the hard work he does and now am really starting to understand why he is such a strong proponent of PW. If I were to give you some constructive criticism it’s in regards to your stoves/ovens. Those two burner stove tops could use a serious upgrade/refresh. There are some really nice ones on the market now. Particularly on the B + vans where there is plenty of room. The XLMB is my favorite van and is absolutely stunning, i wish there was an option to upgrade that stove top, it sticks out like a sore thumb. The Dometic CU 434 for example is a gorgeous stove and oven and with its glass top you don’t lose any counter space. Either just the cooktop or the entire range. Or even the induction C 120 by Dometic is really nice and I think most customers would prefer induction (myself as a former Chef would appreciate the complete gas range & cooktop). RV manufacturers don’t give much thought to their kitchen cooking equipment I think it’s an opportunity for you to stand out even more than you already do. Keep up the great work and hopefully you’ll read this and take into consideration kitchen upgrades as an “option” or “package” if you will.
Tks Neil for the tour, I'm in hurry to see the following one. See you next time.
Does anyone know what happened to Neil Balthaser ? He seems to have disappeared off of social media and hasn't updated his youtube since Dec 6, 2019.
Wow, the section on master outfitters was very educational. Thank you.
Nice treat Neil , that should make you outside sales / consultant for P W. You were the first to do a review on it . NJ
Neil, do you have something similar for Air Stream class B?
Great information video! 👍👌
Amazing quality and craftsmanship.
Pleasure-Way's "Dean Martin" (JOKE, I couldn't hear his last name) seems like a square shooter! And, based on my 25 + years Automotive Background, 30,000 mile of RV-ing with my wife, kids and dog, I LIKE what I see, in Pleasure-Ways factory and construction! I believe Dean's explanation why PW does not offer a Slide Out, is credible! I like a company that will not build what they can not stand behind!
PW definitely builds some of the best quality mass produced B vans, but they are behind the times on electronics and overall decor. Plus they WAY too many cutouts in the van body, making their rigs not so good for stealth urban camping. That said, PW is still one of only a couple mass produced B vans I would consider buying. If I get my way, I'll have an Advanced RV when the time comes.They're a very small custom outfit in Willoughby OH, but they build the highest quality, most innovative, most elegantly designed vans in the entire class B industry, in my opinion, and they do not cut any holes in the body of their vans. Any necessary venting is done thru the floor or roof and your shore power/ city water hookups are below the rear bumper, all out of sight. You'll pay through the nose for the privilege of owning one of their amazing vans, but it's definitely worth it if you can afford it.
How do I get the price on the 2016?
we own a cerenety 2913 sprinter rv with a very low mileage and we just love our van. but I walk in yesterday to faund the dinner table vinyl peeling off like cracks everywhere. My question is where can I order another one? .We live in California. Much appreciate if you could help us .Thank you in advance.
The knowledge that goes into building one of these is exactly why I would only modify one that I buy, instead of building it from scratch. No matter how talented you are you will never know as much as these factories from their years of experience.
Wow, they use full metal cage for class C body. Not 2x2 wood sticks like some older C... Very good. Also I think aircraft graded aluminum profiles would do good job and save lots of weight...
I love these tours. I am hoping to talk to Dean since I am in Canada about building a lifestyle brand around them and taking it on a Liberty roadshow with my Blockchain/Crypto work!
I am not even adverse to learning a lot more and can drive / deliver coaches for you around the same time, I have been thinking.
Dean, I learned about the Tofino from watching Neil at Ultramobility. I was looking for something that would remind me of my old VW Westfalia van. Neil hit a cord. Close with the Axion Studio, but inherent problems seemed to cancel that prospect. Neil covered your entry at the RV show in Pomona, California earlier this year. The Tofino had me. Your rep Marshal M. demonstrated the show model to my wife and I at Giant RV in Colton. We loved it. What's more, my grandson loved it. Now I'm just waiting for the delivery. It'll be worth it waiting for the 2020 model and any improvements coming down the pipe. Marshal showed us some. We were warned of the backlog too. I wouldn't expect less for what I anticipate to be a fantastic vehicle. I just want to make sure Neil at Ultramobility and your buddy Marshal get kudos and credit for this sale. Good work Dean.
Thank you Michael, I will pass your comments along. Welcome to the Pleasure-Way Family
