Coachmen Nova 20C vs Pleasure-Way Lexor TS

Coachmen · Class B

The difference that matters

Strip away the badges and these vans match closely: ProMaster 3500, 3.6L V6, 9,350 lb GVWR, 2,150 lb tow rating, 20.9 ft long and two berths each. What separates them is how much off-grid power arrives standard.

The Lexor TS carries a 460 Ah heated lithium bank, a 3,000 W inverter, 300 W of solar and an Onan 2.8 kW generator with auto start. The Nova 20C ships with three AGM batteries totalling 345 Ah, a 2,000 W inverter and 220 W of solar, and offers lithium as an option. For a couple who dry-camps, the Lexor needs no upgrades.

The Nova pushes back with a 19 gal black tank against 12, R-15 rockwool insulation and an optional pop top that adds a skylight, a 190 W panel and room overhead. The Lexor sleeps on rear twin beds and gets a new interior for 2027.5.

Coachmen Nova 20C: Pop-top shoppers traveling as a couple who want a bigger black tank and plan to pick their own battery upgrade.
Pleasure-Way Lexor TS: Boondockers who want lithium, solar and a generator all included and like separate twin beds
