Coachmen Beyond 22C vs Pleasure-Way Plateau TS

Coachmen · Class B

The difference that matters

Twin-bed vans at about 22 feet, built on different chassis. The Coachmen Beyond 22C rides on an all-wheel-drive Ford Transit 350 HD with the gas 3.5L EcoBoost V6; the Pleasure-Way Plateau TS uses a Mercedes Sprinter 3500 with a four-cylinder turbo-diesel. That choice shapes towing: the Plateau can pull 4,220 lb against the Beyond's 2,240, on a GVWR of 11,030 versus 10,360.

The Plateau's electrical system is larger, with a 460Ah heated lithium bank, a 3,000 W Xantrex inverter, 300 W of solar, a Mastervolt DC-DC charger and an Onan LP generator with auto start. The Beyond pairs 195 W of solar and a 2,000 W Victron inverter with a 2.8 kW gasoline generator and carries no LP at all, cooking on induction and cooling with a compressor refrigerator. The Plateau's gray tank is more than twice the size, 35 gallons against 15, and its twin beds convert to a king.

All-wheel drive and a propane-free setup favor the Beyond for snowy or unpaved trailheads. The Plateau suits couples who tow a car or want a much bigger battery bank.

Coachmen Beyond 22C: Snowy or unpaved trailheads, for couples who want AWD, a gas engine and a propane-free van.
Pleasure-Way Plateau TS: Towing a small car or wanting a large lithium bank, a couple who like twin beds that turn into a king.
