Why are Class B vans so expensive?
Pleasure-Way builds on completed Ford , Chevrolet and Dodge chassis’s. The existing body of the completed chassis is then stripped, prepped and modified to create our van motorhomes. In the manufacturing process, the side walls of the van are curved to allow for greater interior space. As a result of this curvature, each interior piece of the van motorhome must be hand-crafted and custom-installed to ensure a quality fit and a rattle-free drive. This process is substantially more time-consuming and costly than building Class A and C motorhomes, which are usually built with square interiors and standard-size components. In addition, Class A and C motorhomes are built on cut-away chassis, which means that when the Class A and C motorhome manufacturers purchase the chassis, it only consists of the front cab and the chassis frame. Therefore, the cut-away chassis purchased by Class A and C motorhome manufacturers is less expensive than purchasing a completed vehicle.
