We've been travelling in a PleasureWay Lexor for short/medium trips. We both do computer work, and often bring remote work with us. I modified the Lexor - installed a 22" HD monitor and a Blu-Ray player - I can get Netflix off the Blu-Ray, I can plug in a laptop and use the monitor for work, and I added an audio aux in jack so I can plug in the iPhone and listen to music.
We're planning some longer trips that would include a dog and cat and some musical instruments - I'm afraid that the Lexor just is too small for several months on the road, and we're looking at MB's. We just went up to a Canadian dealer yesterday and looked at a new 2014 (he's our closest dealer to Vermont, 1.5 hours away - the closest US dealer is in PA, 8 hours away). We're also starting to watch the ads for a used 2012 or 2013.
The 2014 seemed to have a Sony head unit with some extra rear speakers that handled all the audio in the RV - I was surprised that it was a DVD player and not a Blu-Ray. Not sure whether it's internet connected or not. Can anybody tell me the model of the head unit, and whether the 2012/2013 vans had the same unit or a different one? I'd like to hear how well the factory system works and how flexible it is for adding computer inputs - I assume I can bluetooth my iPhone into the head unit for listening to music. Anything you can tell me about brands/models of the A/V equipment, speaker locations, etc. would be interesting - I really want to understand the system before we consider buying, because since it's an integrated system it'd be much harder to modify it if I find that it isn't flexible enough to do what we need. Thanks - Peter
