FINDING ONE

Patient search: weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: Pleasure-Way is a small builder; 9-year production run; still in production; an uncommon body style. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

The shortest coach Pleasure-Way builds — a 19-foot Sprinter that parks like a car and still carries a private wet bath, generator and 600Ah of lithium.
