Pleasure-Way's 2008 Models - Any Details Yet?

[I posted this in the General area a few days ago. I realize it should have gone here - Mikey.]

I was wondering if anyone knew if Pleasure-way had released details about 2008 model Plateaus.

I put the question to the Pleasure-way web-site the other day (Sep/15), and got this prompt reply:

Hello Mike, we will have info on these new models in a month or so.
I will send you the information when complete.

The new Pleasure-Way Ascent short Sprinter chassis was intoduced at the recent Hershey, PA RV show. It was a great success. It offers many upgrades and improvements to what is curretnly in the marketplace. More to follow.

Yesterday Pleasureway sent me a pdf brochure with detailled specs and four pics of the new 2008 Ascent (based on a 2007 "Short Sprinter"). There is still nothing about it on the PW website. Here are the specs:

[Sorry if "ALL CAPITALS" are rather hard to read. I had to OCR the text to get in into single column -Mikey.]

Pleasureway has posted details of their 2008 Sprinter-based(*) models (Plateau and Ascent) to their website http://www.pleasureway.com.

(Possible error in first line of specs for Plateau: "length" is given as 21' 11".? In the body, exterior length is given as 24' 1" "including external tire carrier".

(*) 2008 model based on 2007 model Sprinter, I think.

(Sorry, I don't know if information posted for Ford and Chevy-based models are also for 2008.)
