Hi, my name is Dean Rumpel,
CEO of Pleasure-Way Industries.
And today, I'm excited to talk to you all about
our new features for 2018.
Some of the new features we're gonna cover in this video Include:
the brand new seven-inch touchscreen control panels,
we use exclusively Truma AquaGo comfort plus water heaters.
We have Fiamma awnings, Eclipse front privacy shades
And we have a new model this year, the Plateau XLTS!
New for 2018, is the addition of Fiamma awnings to our complete line up, from our vans to our XL widebody's.
The Fiamma awning has a one-piece aluminum bracket
Which provides superior mounting strength.
And since these are legless awnings, that's pretty critical to have a strong mounting base.
The Fiamma awning also features LED Lights,
as well as a wind sensor in case you're out and a breeze comes up
It will automatically close.
Plus, It has a strong locking mechanism, so when it's closed we know it stays closed.
Now, let's step inside, and I'll give you a sneak peek at the brand-new 2018 Plateaux XLTS.
New for 2018, is the edition of the Plateau XLTS into our widebody lineup.
Similar to our current XLTD,
They share the same front cab, bathroom and kitchen area,
But what's different is the back end of the coach
and the addition of a new power sofa.
Sitting in the back of the new 2018 Plateau XLTS,
Here we feature our new power sofa that comes complete
with two center lap belts.
This is our first widebody model with the additional seating
so you can carry up to two more passengers with you.
Accompanying the power sofa are two ottomans.
And beneath each ottoman is open storage
So you can take everything you need along with you.
Also, all of our drawers are now soft closing.
One of the advantages of the Plateau XLTS, is you can either sleep it as two single beds,
at 74 by 30 inches.
Or a full size bed at 74 by 74 inches.
Now, we've come up with a way to make this into a full-sized bed very easily.
We've just incorporated a brand new
hidden, sliding, bed support system, so now you just unlock it...
It slides across and locks into place.
So when you're making up the full-size bed you put your bed board support across
and by simply laying in the filler cushions, you've now made your complete full-size bed.
So this simple one-step process makes it very easy to convert your power sofa
into your 74" by 74" full-sized bed.
The biggest enhancement we've made for 2018
comes by the way of our new touchscreen panels.
There are two 7-inch touchscreen panels one located at the front,
and one at the rear of the coach where you now can
control all the major functions of the entire coach
As you can see this is a large, bright, 7 inch touchscreen
and it makes it very easy to read and see all the functions of the coach.
The homepage of our new 7-inch touchscreen is broken into four different areas.
So starting on the homepage screen, in the upper left corner
we have our lighting page shortcuts.
You can choose any three light switches to be displayed on the home page
as well as a shortcut to its very own lighting page
From here, you can individually control the banks,
as well as dimming of all the LED lights.
The top right section of the home page
features our monitor panel.
So from here you can turn off and on the water pump,
as well as easily see all of the levels of your
fresh, grey and black and propane tank.
the bottom left corner of the home page is now our heating and cooling section.
We have eliminated our wall thermostat,
and it's now all controlled on both of these touch panels.
So now, you can easily see
the temperature inside of the coach,
and if you want to activate the heating or cooling
you simply select AC or furnace and adjust the temperature.
Another great feature of controlling our temperature on our control panel,
is it also activates our Fan-Tastic Vent.
so if you're out for a stroll and your coach heats up,
the Fan-Tastic Fan will automatically open up
and start cooling down your coach.
This is great if you ever have to leave your pets inside for a while.
If you happen to get caught away from your coach and it starts to rain,
the vent lid will automatically close.
As we move to the bottom right corner of the panel,
this hubs some of the biggest advancements
in technology we've had in years.
Here, we feature a real-time,
12-volt net gain amp meter.
There's no longer any guesswork if you're dry camping.
From here you can see how much of your battery is being used
either positive or negative.
So as an example, I've turned the fridge on to 12 volt.
This is a heavy draw and you can see currently
we are drawing 18 amps.
I'm gonna turn the fridge off,
So in real time, you've seen it drop back down to -3 amps.
That's how much DC power the coach is currently consuming.
Now, If you had an array of optional solar panels,
you can get up to 5 on an XL widebody,
Which would generate up to 25 amps per hour,
under optimum conditions.
You can see that meter going way into the plus
and you can be running a lot of things off your coach on
on free solar power.
So, with the new real-time net gain amp meter,
you can easily tell whether you're putting energy into your battery bank
Or if you're expending it
And it makes the math really simple,
so it's easy for you to extend your dry camping.
The second highlight of our control panel
is, AGS, this stands for:
Automatic Generator Start.
This is huge. Now if you're away from the coach,
You can activate your AGS a
and set your air-conditioner thermostat.
So if the coach warms up inside,
the generator will automatically start,
the air-conditioner will kick in and cool the coach down.
Once the desired temperature is reached,
It'll turn itself off.
If the coach happens to heat up again,
the generator will repeat the cycle.
This is fantastic.
The secondary function of the AGS,
is not only will it control the air-conditioner,
it can charge your batteries.
So you can set a voltage of your batteries, and if you're away from the coach
And the batteries are discharging and they're getting low,
the generator will automatically start,
charging your batteries to your own user predefined settings.
Once the batteries have been charged up,
It'll turn itself off, a
and you'll never be stranded with dead batteries again.
With the addition of our two seven inch touch panels,
whether you're an experienced RV'er,
or a first-time user,
Setting up your coach and operating it
has never been easier.
Also new for 2018,
are our Eclipse privacy shades.
These are fantastic.
When they're in place as you can see,
it blocks out all the sunlight,
giving you all the privacy inside your coach at night when you need it.
And, a secondary great function is it reflects the heat
out of your coach, keeping it cooler while saving your dash.
When you're not using them,
They neatly fold up they come with their own compact carrying case and it's easy to put them away for storage.
Our final upgrade for 2018,
is the addition of the Truma AquaGO comfort plus instant water heater.
Now we were the first manufacturer,
to standardize this upscale water heater across
all of our product line.
This is an instant water heater
So as long as you have a fresh water supply,
this water heater is going to produce
hot water on demand.
Comparing to most RVs that will feature a six gallon water heater
Which limits you to only six gallons of hot water
before it has to refill and reheat,
The Truma AquaGO comfort plus
is an instant water heater, on demand,
and features a 60,000 BTU burner,
which is the largest in the industry.
So now it'll always be feeding you hot water when you open up a tap.
a common trait and other instant water heaters
is temperature spikes.
This is created by the water in the hot water line
Cooling over time if you're not constantly using it.
So when you have a shower or turn on a tap
the first bit of water you get is usually cold
Before the other hot water comes into play.
What separates the Truma comfort plus,
is the use of a water stabilizing vessel
and a recirculating hot water line.
The benefit for you is you never have hot water i
in your hot water lines getting cold
because the Truma comfort plus
automatically recirculates that water
keeping it at a comfortable 120 degrees.
the Truma comfort plus is a sophisticated,
high-end, instant water heater,
that you'd come to expect with a high-end
quality coach, like Pleasure-Way.
Well that wraps it up.
That's all the new exciting features for 2018.
