Compared to Europe, however, the United States doesn?t have the same number of modular, affordable Class B options. That?s changing?just check out some of these new options?and the latest camper to catch our eye is the Tofino from Canada-based Pleasure-Way.
A nod to Pleasure-Way?s iconic Ford-based Traverse, the new Tofino uses a Ram Promaster 1500 as its base. The pop-top is also reminiscent of the classic Volkswagen California van?ironically not available in the U.S.?although the larger Promaster allows for more interior space. Pleasure-Way uses that space to maximum effect, incorporating a small kitchen area with induction cooktop, refrigerator, and stainless-steel sink. Swivel driver cab seats allow for convenient seating, while a two-seat bench folds into a 137-inch by 183-inch bed. That?s a fairly large sleeping area for two adults, and the Tofino adds even more sleeping space thanks to the pop-up roof bed (124 inches by 183 inches).
