 Personal Style
Reflect your personal style by choosing between a selection of three Ultra Leather® fabrics and maple cabinetry colours. Sink into your rear sofa and relax as the layer of memory foam shapes to your body. You have worked hard, don’t compromise, you deserve the best…. Pleasure-Way Ascent.
Good Things Come in Small Packages
 Proof that good things come in small packages, the Pleasure-Way Ascent is the perfect combination of mobility, versatility and quality. Although the Ascent is the shortest chassis in our Pleasure-Way line-up, there is more than enough room for everything you need, coupled with all of the great features found in our other van motorhomes, including a private bathroom.
Whether you are zipping around town or exploring the national parks, this van motorhome handles like a breeze. Parking is effortless becaue the Ascent measures a compact 19 feet in length.
 Inspired Design
The Ascent represents the fusion of inspired design, practicality and economy. By strategically placing the kitchen on the passenger’s side of the van, shoulder checking is unobstructed. This floor plan also allows you to be working in your kitchen and still participate in a conversation with your friends who are enjoying the great outdoors under the awning.
Mercedes Power
The Mercedes 3.0 litre diesel engine achieves an estimated 20 miles per gallon on the highway, making this the most fuel efficient motorhome available, as well as one of the most environmentally friendly van motorhomes on the road.
Comfort and Joy
The rear sofa with two three-point seatbelts neatly opens into a full 70 x 72“ bed, which allows you to stretch out with no foot obstructions. The four cubic foot fridge is conveniently located off the floor for easy access and the stove and sink are recessed into the beautiful seamless Corian® countertop.
The Ascent offers the largest private bathroom available on the short Sprinter chassis. With a Thetford flush toilet, shower, convenient permanent sink and the largest capacity
holding tanks (25 US gallons, combined gray and black), nothing else compares.
Time to Explore
If you are looking for a van motorhome that you can use to cruise around town and still take on an expedition to camp under the stars, the Pleasure-Way Ascent is the one for you. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
ON THE ROAD by Charles Renny
 The Sprinter may be sold under the Dodge nameplate, but the maker is Mercedes- Benz. As such the Sprinter has a definite European feel. It is the tallest and narrowest of the van body styles. Handling is good, as is resistance to side-winds and passing semis.
Ride quality is firm and well-controlled without being stiff or harsh. The Sprinter is powered by a 3.0 litre diesel and mated to a five-speed electronically
controlled automatic transmission.
At first glance, the relatively low horsepower rating would make the Sprinter appear underpowered. This is not the case as diesel engines have high torque outputs and it is really torque that gives acceleration. In this case, the Sprinter is aptly named as it can move out with the best. Sprinter is comfortable cruising at all legal speeds.
Standard chassis features include such items as stability control (adaptive so that it “learns” how the vehicle is loaded), tilt and height adjustable steering as well as 10,000 miles (16,000 km) service intervals to name a few. One item that often gets short changed is the mirrors and on the Sprinter, integrated wide-angle mirrors are standard.
