Explorer Vans reviews

The gally does not have much storage. The area under the sink should have had storage built in like other rvs. The microwave/convention oven should have a right side hinged door for better access. The front storage doors under the beds should have been hinged on the right side so a person does not have to reach over the doors to access the area. The area can be accessed from the top but it is difficult to lift your fthe doors with the mattresses on them. The GPS can be used with the Ford app at $495 a year or through your phone. In one week I used 30 gigs of data using the gps.. the unit drives nicely and my first 1200 mile miles i got 16 mpg. The 400w solar keeps the 540a lithuim batteries charged. The generator is a plus. In the large rear storage area there is only a 12v cigarette lighter outlet not a 120v receptacle as shown on youtube. The refrigerator and freezer work well with storage area in the freezer. The heat did not work if turned on after tempatures dipped below 50 degrees. I called 24/7 road side assistance number 5 hours ago and still waiting for a tech to call back. I called again and asked for mobil repair locations, I am in Maryland and they were giving me Florida service numbers. I was told to ask if they do warranty work on leisure RV 's before having them come out. I finally recieved 2 numbers within 70 miles neither will work on leisure vans. I called the dealership I purchased from 686 miles away and they are having me drive back so they can fix it. Thank you Southland RV. Show less

The Triple E company who makes Leisure Travel Vans (LTV) is out of Canada and they make a superior product! They will still respond to our maintenance/repair questions 10 years later. Ours is a 2014 Unity model with the Twin Bed/King Bed floor plan. We love everything about it for 2 people. We have driven 35 and 40 foot Class A's motor homes and I must tell you we don't need to take everything with us on our trips. If you are staying for a month or more, you may want a big Class A. Because we like to move from city to city and park to park and not staying over 2 days to 1 week, we love this smaller RV with a Bigger feel. The ease of getting into national parks for camping (27 foot limit in most parks), gas stations, grocery shopping and even parking on the streets is so much easier than the larger Class A's. The ease of driving on residential streets, cities and freeways makes this the ideal RV for our type of traveling. This LTV UTB has more storage inside the RV than other newer Class B+ makes. The outside basement storage is also impressive because LTV has put many of the holding tanks, propane tank etc under the chassis so they don't occupy the valuable storage compartments. this model does not have a slide-out or leveling jacks which helps to reduce your overall GVW and increases you cargo carrying capacity, plus less things to break down. It has a macerating flush toilet instead of a gravity toilet. I have never had a problem dumping my black tank with this type of toilet like I had with the gravity model. The bathroom and shower is divided across the hall from each other, each with their own doors and the shower door also opens fully to divide off the bedroom from the rest of the RV for sleeping, dressing etc. It has a 600 watt inverter which is slightly under powered for modern appliances, but don't really use inverted power, but I guess if you have a CPAP machine it would help. We rely on the 12v house battery for lighting, furnace, water pump, fans etc. The house batteries are recharged by the 100 watt solar panel/inverter, the engine alternator, shore power battery charger or the generator. We use shore power or the LPG Generator for things like the microwave or air conditioning and Propane for the absorption refrigerator, which works really well! The 6 cylinder Bluetec Turbo Diesel has plenty of power, fully loaded going up passes, it is great along with the 5 speed transmission, its a pleasure to drive. My wife has no fear driving this rv. Not too many negatives except if you want to camp with 6 people. Show less

After four years of ownership and 50,000 miles of travel, I cannot say enough positive things about this van. The Mercedes platform and engine is just wonderful. It is super comfortable to drive for long distances and has very predictable handling, even in high cross wind situations. The 6-cylinder turbo diesel has ample power for highway speeds and hill climbing. The interior build quality is top grade as Leisure Travel Vans uses excellent components and thoughtfully and skillfully installs the cabinetry, plumbing and wiring. Some of the many design features that I really appreciate is there are no overhead cabinets above the driver and passenger seats, making it much easier to move from the driver’s area to the back of the van. I also appreciate how the integrated gray/black water dump tubing that tucks away hidden behind the driver’s side ground effects body skirt. When it is time to dump the tanks, the tubing just pulls out of the integrated container tube and stretches to the RV dump facility fitting. What may be a messy process with other RVs could not be cleaner or easier with the Free Spirit. Show less

I consider myself a Goldilocks of camping vehicles. I started with a teardrop, upgraded to a 34' Class C, and landed on the LTV Unity 24FX, and it is truly a perfect fit. It's a luxurious way to travel with just enough room, great flexibility, and easy maneuverability. Not only do I have the confidence that the chassis and engine are top of the line, I know the Leisure Travel Van reputation is exemplary. It's a higher priced unit, but quality and confidence aren't cheap. It's not a palace in a box (Class A), but has soft leather seats, a "real" luxury mattress, lots of little extras, and a bathroom and kitchen that actually function like home. In addition, the macerator makes managing the black and grey tanks a breeze. I love her!!! Show less

This is a great rv made by a top line manufacturer. It drives great, 14mpg towing and 17mpg without a tow. It lives well, lots of daylight, very roomy feeling, large galley area, lots of convenient storage both inside and out. Truma,s Aqua Go water heater provides limitless hot water on demand with a circulation system that provides instant hot water eliminating the waste of waiting for hot water to arrive at the faucet. The AC system cools effectively and has a heat pump to use while plugged in to shore power saving your lap gas for when needed. The twin beds easily convert to a nice size queen for very comfortable sleeping. It has the peace of mind provided by being built on a Ford chassis. There’s over 3000Ford dealers across the country for whatever service might be needed. Compare that to about 300 Mercedes dealers many of which will not service their van products. Show less

Excellent Mercedes Diesel Sprinter Chassis. Very dependable, trouble free, operation. Top quality build and design. Workmanship and materials are outstanding. Still looks like anew rig. Currently on-sale at RTV for$125,000.00. Huge demand of Leisure products,backlog at Gactory on Canada. Highly recommend! Thanks. Show less

First Class Coach in every way. If you are looking for a high quality smaller motorhome this is it. All the features of a high end class A in a Class C or as some call it a Class B . MPG can be near 20mpg with the Ford Diesel Show less

Drives and handles like a dream! Best quality materials and workmanship out there hands down. Engineering and design are extremely clever, taking into account feedback from current owners. Multiplex lighting with accent, and the ability to turn the water pump on in the dry bath is a plus! Fridge/freezer that you can access from either side is probably my favorite feature - not sure why it took the industry this long to invent! Show less

The proxima B is definitely the ultimate class B RV for these spontaneous overland adventures four seasons. It allow me to the sleep sooo cozy at the ski stations and feels like home. My family love it and so my dog! I keep all my outdoor gear in the rear garage safe and ready to use. I'm beyond happy on this build! Show less

We have had our RV going on three years now. Many travels East and West. Easy to park in regular spots, good on hills(we have diesel) especially out East, Ford chassis so easy to find dealers in emergencies. My only pet peeve, ordered bedding made for our specific RV but flat sheet is CONSTANTLY coming off in the night!😡 Help! Any advice? Show less
