Thanks for this. Seems odd though that the Ascent Bathroom Window is being eliminated. Could it be the dealer meant Bathroom Sink? Most of the changes to the Ascent align with the OnTour which has no sink.

I remember hearing about the window as well. I believe it had something to do with the refrigerator change and where they had to run wiring.

I actually requested that my build NOT include the bathroom sink, but for various reasons, PW balked at my request. So, unfortunately, the bathroom sink remains... despite there being another (nicer) sink 3 feet away and with the wet bath being as cramped as it is. Oh well.

Ah....that makes sense. Thanks.

I spoke with someone at PW last year after seeing the sink removed from the OnTour. He said the camp is pretty evenly divided between those that like the sink in the Ascent and those that don't. He did mention that some Ascent owners have taken it on their own to have the sink removed. Would be nice if PW could install a quality fold up sink. Every added inch of standing room in that bathroom makes a difference.

Your list reminded me of the Monster I keep locked up.

RV ENVY!

It exists.

Its never conquered.

If for only a moment, it's there.

But in Truth, I am very happy for you.

And Yes, I agree with the sink comments - you have a perfect one all the way across that cavernous aisle.

I love The Ascent (if I could mod it out to my needs just a pinch).

Its a proven rig, they havent had to modify much over the years because they got it right in the first place.

Congratulations - you have a First Class Ticket to RV Travel!
