Summarized from Reddit and owner forums — not a first-hand test.
The Pleasure-Way Ontour 2.2 is the quiet luxury pick among Class B vans — a Ford Transit-based, sub-22-foot rig from a Canadian builder that dealers and owners routinely call the best-built Class B you can buy. It doesn't chase the AWD-adventure crowd; instead it perfects the refined-couple's-van formula: a push-button power sofa that becomes a memory-foam queen, the largest wet bath in its lineup, a Corian-and-induction galley that punches well above its footprint, and dual 300Ah lithium batteries with 300 watts of solar standard. Almost everything is included in the price, so the roughly $150K sticker reflects a fully realized van, not a stripped base waiting for options.
Day to day, the Ontour 2.2 rewards owners who value craftsmanship and turnkey simplicity. The gas Ford Transit drives easily and services anywhere, the handcrafted interior feels genuinely premium, and the standard lithium-and-solar package delivers real boondocking endurance without an upgrade list. The honest limitations are about mission, not quality: it's front-wheel-drive Transit (not AWD), so it gives up all-weather grip to a Coachmen Beyond or Storyteller Mode; it strictly sleeps two with no pop-top or bunk to carry kids; and older model years used less-liked sliding windows before switching to awning windows. Pleasure-Way's smaller dealer network is also worth weighing if you travel far from home and might need service.
The Ontour 2.2 is best for the couple — often retirees or empty-nesters — who wants the most refined, best-built, lowest-hassle Class B and is happy to camp on pavement and maintained roads. Cross-shop it against its own Pleasure-Way Lexor (the ProMaster-based, wider, front-wheel-drive sibling), the Winnebago Travato (cheaper, mainstream, strong power system), and the Coachmen Beyond 22C (similar Transit base but AWD and less polished). The Ontour wins decisively on build quality and turnkey luxury; it concedes AWD capability and family flexibility. If craftsmanship and a fully-included spec matter more than chasing trails, it's one of the most satisfying vans in the class.
What owners like
- +Pleasure-Way is widely regarded as the best-built Class B on the market — dealers and owners alike rank its fit, finish, and craftsmanship at the top of the segment
- +Built on the Ford Transit 350 (gas), it offers easy, everywhere-available servicing and confident on-road manners without diesel Sprinter maintenance costs
- +Nearly everything is standard and included in the price — there's no nickel-and-diming with option packages, so the $150K sticker is largely what you actually get
- +The power sofa deploys at the push of a button into a genuine 67-by-77-inch queen bed, with memory-foam-topped Ultraleather cushions for a hotel-grade sleep
- +Side and rear door screens and a thoughtful, handcrafted interior make it a refined couple's van that holds value well thanks to the brand reputation
Common complaints
- −At about $150K for a two-sleeper, you're paying boutique-van money — more than a Winnebago Solis 59PX and most mainstream Class Bs
- −It's front-wheel-drive Ford Transit (not AWD here), so it lacks the all-weather grip of an AWD Beyond, a Storyteller Mode, or a Sprinter 4x4
- −Older Ontours shipped with factory sliding windows that owners criticized; the awning windows are a more recent improvement, so check the year
- −The power sofa-to-bed conversion is convenient but the single rear bed means no separate fixed lounge-plus-bed flexibility you'd get in a twin-bed layout
- −Pleasure-Way's lower production volume means fewer dealers and a smaller service footprint than Winnebago or Thor, which can matter when you need warranty work far from home
- −Premium build and price set high expectations, so the rare defect feels more disappointing at this tier than it would on a budget coach
