Upgrades to our Pleasure-Way RV

  • Pleasure-Way Factory Visit

    , ,

    As I write this on 3/28/2020 the factory is closed to keep people safe during the Corona Virus pandemic. We wish the employees and company well and hope they will be healthy and return when “social distancing” is no longer necessary. 7/21/2019 Factory tours are something we have always found fascinating.

Someone posted on the Pleasure-way group that it is easy to switch out the analog thermostat for a digital one, so we ordered one and installed it today. If you know…
