March 2, 2024 - Let's Begin
The deal is complete. We purchased and are proud owners of a Pleasure-Way Ascent.
Our new rig is a 2023 build on a 2023 Mercedes, Sprinter chassis. This in and of itself is different. Typically, motorhome manufacturers purchase chassis the prior year before building them. In other words, the manufacturing year of the chassis lags the motorhome manufacturer's build by a year. Fortunately, the '23 Mercedes included a more powerful motor with a 9-speed transmission.
Here are the Mercedes Sprinter specs.:
Chassis Model Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
Engine 4-Cylinder OM 654 High Output
HP Rating 211 HP
Wheelbase 144"
Transmission9 G-tronic automatic
Fuel Type Diesel
Braking System 4-wheel Disc brakes w/ ABS
