Tips and hacks from a Pleasureway Lexor Owner 

I made a list and added just about EVERY one of Jim's ideas. Then, I actually got the chance to meet Jim at the Pleasureway Rally at Bonelli Bluffs in May 2021. Jim invited everyone to his site, where he had laid out every one of these items and offered advice and tips. He even gave me an extra clear sewer extension that he had. I really enjoyed Jim and his great advice. Tip: Ask his lovely wife for an example of one of her photo books. They're AMAZING!

Great interview and good ideas ~ thank you

This reminds me… I don’t miss absorption refrigerators. In 30 years I never had one that I didn’t want to throw down a cliff. Compressor and lithium now for me. I’ve never been happier.

Debbie-I come to watch any and all videos you produce. Love the travel sections, modifications, cooking ideas...... All your videos are truly appreciated. Thanks for your hard work in putting these wonderful video out for your viewers. Safe and happy travels to you and John.

Big Thanks to you and John for getting us "Out of the House". Love the tips and the travel vistas and guides.

It is never too late to learn from somebody else's experiences! Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.

thanks for all you done to help us!

Yes, some come here for the travel videos. Some come here for the hints & tips. And some come here for your charming personality. As for myself, I come here for a combination of all three. You do a good job blending the entertainment with the education.

Great tips and tricks Jim! Thank you kind sir!! 🚐

If you are an RV or boater you become a gadget person very quickly. Perfection does not start when you buy either, but comes through trial an error or learning from other's mistakes. Great advice. on the tips and tricks. I always buy a preowned RV or boat so you get all those loops from the start and not having to pay for all the things which don't work from the start. If you want to know more about off grid in vans just check out the Winns video's on how they re did his moms new van with proper power and batteries for extended living off the grid.

Thank you so much for this video, both to you and Jim, wonderful tips!

You can hook up the Coalman BBQ to the RV tank by getting a bbq tank hose to green tank adapter and hooking that hose up to your RV or having a gas person make you up the same. Parts are readily available.

It was great to go back and find this video. We’ve had our Lexor for a year and a half and now we’re ready for some of these upgrades. Thanks!

Thank you….very nice

The 2021.5 Plateau TS has a compressor frig and induction cooktop! Yay! No 3-way frig! There’s a few other changes in the half-year model, including a new, larger control panel, new countertops and new bathroom sink. Really excited by the new changes PW is making to their rigs.

Great tips & interview! I laughed when you mentioned lost sewer cap. We’ve lost sewer caps, dragged the hose compartment cap & lost a sewer hose🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Always like seeing what owners come up with. Thanks for the tips.

Fantastic tips. I need to replace my GoPower for sure.

DIEBBY &John, your friend JIM, surely has some neat ideas, to work, I love the FAUCET ADAPTOR as opposed to ‘pull downs, we do have a somewhat different adaptor on our kitchen sink, solid or spray, which swivels, so we virtually never never use the ;pullout’ sprayer that home sinks have , I wonder what petrol engine is in his rig I dare say that his MPG , IS EXCELLENT GIVEN THE WEIGHT, COMPARED TO MY CAR , although I have NOT done any trips , all local, for the same he gets ,,, duh ! Happy trails Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Very helpful tips and such a pleasant man.

Thanks for the van tips 👍

Love your videos helps a lot learning how its done and you make people like me smile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since I also have a fold n go grill and bought the adapter hose before I found out the van propane is low pressure, today I decided to do a test. After 10 minutes with the van propane, the temp reached 565F which isn't a good sear but would do a slow cook. Then after 10 minutes using the green propane canister it got up to 742F. So the canisters are best but if I run out during a cook I could finish up with the hose. I used a laser temp gauge. I took photos but couldn't post here. I do wish there was an unregulated insert for the fold n go. I did post the photos on the PW group in FB

Thanks Debbie and Jim!! Some great tips there. Nice to see a Lexor rig in the wild - there are very few videos on RU-vid of actual owners with Lexors. I’m trying to decided between both rigs. Love the nimbleness of the Ascent and parking anywhere option. But the Lexor has a much reduced price point that makes getting into a Pleasureway a more realistic option. Would love to hear your take away thoughts on the Lexor Debbie.

I carry a Coleman Fold-n-Go grill in my Plateau FL like the onementoned in the video. I use the coach's propane quick connect with a LP hose and it works great. I purchased the hose off Amazon "DOZYANT 12 Feet 1/4" Quick Connect RV Propane Hose Converter Replacement for 1 lb Throwaway Bottle Connects 1 LB Bulk Portable Appliance to RV 1/4" Female Quick Disconnect"

Great ideas 👍

Hi Deb and John. As for me we learned several things from your video today. And we learned to be careful with nipples. Ha ha the more I watch you guys, the more I think that John is a brother from another mother. Can't wait to meet up with you in person. Much love from North Carolina from Owen, Lynn and Maggie

I have the same darn Dometic fridge in my 2016 XLMB and I but a bag of ice in the very bottom of the fridge tray. It really takes the edge of the temp. and barely melts.

This is great. I'm picking up my first RV tomorrow, a 2018 P-W Lexor! Thanks. I've subscribed.

I added a third panel when I purchased my Lexor and haven’t had any issues with it. Haven’t lost any sewer caps either, so I am guessing those gravel/rutted roads you travel are the culprit.

Thanks for all the tips and great ideas. I see in this video that you are using a sun/rain(?) cover over the door instead of using your awning. I am very interested in what kind it is and how you attach it to the RV. My wife and I purchased our Ascent the first of this year and we really enjoy your video's and incorporating the modifications.

Good tips, Jim. Can you or Debbie tell how you fixed the floor once you took out that pedestal table?

Would love a link to the faucet nozzle AND the dump hose extender/add on. Those would be great improvements for my 2018 Plateau FL! Thanks for the great video!

I wish he had shown how he made up the twin beds. I noticed he had sheet coverings on the Ottomans and on the couch and I can’t find any videos of how a pleasure way is made up for twin beds.

I don't understand how the magnets work. It appears it's up by the window and not in close proximity to the bumper. Thanks

Thank you Jim. Thank you Debbie and John. We are learning a lot from your channel. We have been laying low since Covid. We finally chose "The RV" for us. It is one of the Pleasure Way models. Debbie, we know you liked the bigger bathroom of the OnTour 2.2, Thavone did too. We will definitely be rewatching your videos for more tips. We hope to see you on the road one day. A subscriber of yours named Debbie gave your a channel a shout out on our reveal video. Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated !! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xwSD_JFxA-Q.html

Sometimes a nearby active cell phone will create interference with cordless mics.

Did anyone find a compressor refrigerator that fits the Lexor?

The freezer box in Jim's fridge can be removed and replaced. Removing it might help keep the overall temp in the fridge lower, but no place for ice cream then, of course. Our Lexor is very similar to Jim's. We have one solar panel and are thinking of adding two more. The solar controller by the stove is rated to handle the extra panels. However, there is a second solar controller in the box where the main fuse panel is located and that one is rated for only one panel. I don't know the function of the second controller, but think maybe it is being used for some other purpose... does anyone know why it is there?

What are the hoses that Jim is referring to @ 10:25? Hard to understand him Thanks

Where did you find the Awning/Tarp on the sliding side door of your Ascent vehicle??

I heard some people, are cutting those ems, with bolt cutters. How would that lock work against those B. cutters?

What do you use for your title thumbnails? They look great!

Debbie is there a link to the faucet extension dealy-bob? Maybe it will fit my faucet. Thanks, Gayle

Some great hacks. Our Dometic (replacement) absorption fridge has worked flawlessly and an even less expensive thermometer that we use stuck with double sided tape on outside of fridge with probe going into fridge taped under a strip of electrical tape to make it a clean install can be found on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A0TMS6Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Another hack we really like was building a RV tank fill 2 or 3 stage water filter. Normally charcoal and UV (2 stage) but can add an extra sediment filter to make it 3 stage if the water source is cloudy. This is something you can do yourself very reasonably and it has been great where the water has been of questionable quality. Takes out the contaminates and bad taste out of the water going into the tank. Again Amazon (Canada) but same products available for less in US UV filter (switched to 12V ballast) www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B073893WL9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 12V ballast www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07H68F8RS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Water filters housings (2) www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0014C5D64/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Charcoal filter www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0045LXJ0I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sediment filter (only use if water quality is quite poor or if drawing from a stream) www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00D049XFQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Each filter has a male and female 3/4 garden hose connection and I just daisy chain the filters I need or want for the water source. Sometimes I use just charcoal, sometimes charcoal and UV and if really questionable water, sediment, charcoal and UV. We boondock in the boonies and tap water can be hard to or impossible to find so we also have a 12v pump and we will pump water from a mountain stream when necessary. We have also had some poor tasting (sulphur) unfiltered well water that after charcoal filtering has been great. The water filter has been our best hack/investment of 2020.

I now have my '18 Lexor (ten days now) and have bought one of the items from Jim's list. It was the Camco sewer connector extender. I have a question for Jim if you have a way for me to contact him, or perhaps you can help me. I'm brand new at this. The extender fits just as Jim said it would with room to close the door. I don't want to break it, so my question is am I supposed to twist this thing all the way on so that the knobs hit the end? I can get it almost that far, but I'm afraid if I twist it even more I might break something. I'm often breaking things. So is "tight enough" good or am I asking for trouble? Thanks.

Lesor????
