Came to Florida to see a 2004 Pleasure Way Excel TD. Unfortunately I'm still looking. It just wasn't up to snuff. There a number of items I just didn't like. For example the stove looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Didn't expect new show room clean, but did expect it to be like someone was coming to potentially buy it. Probably why it was relatively inexpensive.

I knew I wasn't going to get it, so didn't take it for a spin.
 
Where are you in Florida? Too bad you had to travel so far to look for a B.
Just south of Patrick Air Force Base. It's no problem. We combined that trip with a visit with my wife's sister who happens to live in Florida.
 
Check out a Hymer Aktiv, no longer made but many of us are very happy with them. In spite of some older models having build challenges, it is well built and great features. See fb "Hymer Aktiv owners and wannabes".. several have been for sale lately, well priced.
 
What price range and years are you looking for? I might be selling my 06C210P Roadtrek just haven't totally decided to yet. It's got under 60K and runs great and everything worked before I winterized it for the winter :). Had it painted last year spring also.
 
Additional information: Roadtrek made the Ranger RT (I think 2013-2016) which were a bit less luxurious than the 190 Popular but still a pretty good machine. I have a Ranger RT 2014 (since 2016) and this RV has been very good overall, but like every RV, you need to roll up your sleeve from time to time...! Just another idea...!

$42.000 and under. 2002 (non Dodge) and newer. I understand newer is limited by my budget.

I will check this out as well.
 
Just a couple of pics I had after it was painted. The price would be $40K. If interested I could take some inside pictures the next nice day that's available here in Northeast Ohio.

I am interested. Would appreciate as many pictures you feel like taking. Does it have the enclosed bathroom? I'm sure I will have more questions.

I've thought of 3 more questions. 1) Does it have the optional 2 6V batteries with 220 amp hours?
2) Does it have a power sofa? 3) Does it have any sear belts in the rear?

Not sure by what you mean about enclosed bathroom? Ours has the door that opens into the hallway on one side and the storage closet on the other that make the bathroom private and good sized. The shower curtain goes around in the hall part and it has a floor drain for when you shower. You do have to take up the carpet piece, new 2 years ago, to take your shower. We have used it a few times but find that being old and belonging to Silver Sneakers program gets us into a lot of gyms across the country to take showers and maybe work out a little. It's just easier.
I just replaced the 2 6v (golf cart) batteries last year when I replaced the slides on the battery compartment. No power sofa- 2 twin beds that can convert to a queen. I installed 2 lap belts attached to the steel bed frame along with making a back rest across the back doors so it's easier to sit up and lean back while readind or whatever :).
 
You answered my question concerning a private bath. What I meant was a bathroom that has a closed door but leaves the aisle open.

I didn't realize the twin beds in the rear had metal frames. Thought they were all wood framed. Were the added seat belts tested to Federal standards?

No the seat belts were not tested. From what I understand the RT had originally come with belts back there so I just put them in as there were none in when I purchased it.
The way this is going can I assume you're really not interested?
