🔴 More about this video
Pleasureway has been evolving and improving the Ascent since they first introduced it in 2008. In that time it's become one of the best short Sprinter camper vans available here in North America. It is a quality coach with a great layout and a well thought out design that balances trade offs. It's not surprising that in 2018 Airstream came out with their Interstate 19, a close replica of the Ascent.
The Interstate 19 isn't an exact copy. It does offer some features that aren't available on the Ascent like: automatic blinds, a side view camera system, an air ride suspension and most importantly a 4-wheel drive option. If any of those things are important to you then the Airstream is the only way to go.
But if quality and attention to detail are important to you then the Ascent is the way to go. In fit and finish as well as materials the Ascent is superior to the Interstate 19. The sofa and ottomans use thicker memory foam, ottomans are attached to cushions so they don't fly around during travel and everything just has a more solid feel about it. That's all backed by Pleasureway's 5 year warranty - 2 years longer than Airstream's.
