Leisure Time reviews

This might be worth a read. Beware! I think I should share out experience buying our Leisure Travel Van. We first saw this Unit 4 years ago at and RV show and we loved it. Purchased this unit in Ontario Canada and moved to Newfoundland Canada. Once our motor home was delivered to the dealer I flew to Ontario to bring out Van home. When I arrived at the dealership I noticed that the side of the van had a paint run. The sun highlighted the defect. I was provided with a quick demonstration. When I asked questions about the mechanical components I was instructed to read the manufactures recommendations!? Also was told there is a fee if I need to revisit the orientation at some point. If you read some reviews several Leisurer Travel Van Owners have had 4 hour demostrations with a NO fee follow up to go over any questions the owners may have. In summary , paint defect, sub standard demo for a unit that cost About $ 300 000 plus, based on options. Offered a me a follow up for a fee! Interesting. I put my faith in the dealership. Their ( Reviews are mixed) I went over every thing they offered in their demo. The young lady that did the walkabout with me, took a picture of the paint issue and I have asked twice that she send a picuture to us. Presenlty I have not had anything sent to me. Once I told the dealership that I am returning to Newfoundland with my new motor home, they told me that since I am no longer living in the area, I will have to reach out to the closest dealer to me. For us, this dealer in Nova Scotia. Depending on season ,this could be either a 12 0r 7 hour ferry ride & then an 6-8 hour drive. The dealer we purchasded from expressed that this is Leisure Travel Vans policy. I had little chance to protest , they were firm on this policy..... I have reached out to the Dealership in Nova Scotia several times to inquirer about some wiring . They responded ONCE. This is important to know! Once I returned home I was reviewing all the features of the unit. The generator was malfunctioning. I forwared a picture to RVMP - manufacture. They surprisingly indicated a problem with propane generator so quickly & I have recieved the new part.... I have been looking for someone that can do the repair on my new generator. After 3 weeks of phone calls and e mails. NO luck. RVMP only offered a few places to look. Companies they could simply get out of a Google search. They did not find us a repair shop. RVMP has a phone # you can call. Leave a voice message. They might get back to, they might not. Most my emails have had a friendly response, but little action. I managed to find a retired RV tech that would take on this job. This contact was from someone in the area. Further I found one of the remote switched in the bedroom was not working . 2 faults indicated for propane and fresh water. I am not even using the RV, So I contacted Leisure Travel Van directly ( Service & Warranty). They forwarded me a new switch and contacted RVMP - generator manufacture to get things moving. I did contact Sicards RV In Smithville Ont. Regarding all the issues. The only person that has contacted me was the salesman. He was upset about the honest review I posted with the Leisure Travel Vans site and how will this look to his supervisors? He did not ask about our repairs. You have to wonder?? BEFORE YOU BUY: Ask about the repairs while traveling. Is there a repair shop in your city or one near buy. Not just the generator , but all the equipment LTV does not cover! Ask about what will be demonstrated the day you pick up your unit. Go over all your paper work carefully. Slow it down. We like the LTV Brand, however, support from your dealership might not be there. We believe, our dealer couldn't care in least! Our buying exeperince went from anticaption and excitement to a $300 000 Regret... WE hope this may help in some way. Show less

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

This RV is top in its class, providing comfort while also offering ample space. This floorplan keeps the living forward and sleeping in the rear, private curtain separates the bedroom from the living space. Equipped with 4 solar panels and generator, its a great get-a-way vehicle. Show less

This rv was a perfect floor plan for me living full time . The closet space was wall to wall with rod all the way across. The built in 4 drawer and 4 cabinet dresser along with the large king size under bed storage provided plenty of space! The bathroom had a comfortable size shower with built in seat, a high sitting toilet, a residential sink with high faucet, lots of counter space and again plenty of storage. The fridge was a good size two door freezer/refrigerator. The tv swung out so that I could tilt it towards any room in the camper. The L shaped kitchen provided lots of room so I didn't feel cramped. The sink was a large farmhouse style making dishes super easy to do. There is 2 outside storage spaces under the closet and the head of the king size bed that enabled me to store all of my outside equipment in. I did not have any problem with the quality of construction and material used. This rv was wasy to tow with double axels. I would recommend this camper to any single full timer, or to a couple who likes to travel a lot. Show less

I have lived full time in a 360KS Tracer for 2 years. The floor plan was perfect for me providing more than adequate storage including a wall to wall closet with rod all the way across to hang plenty of clothes, a built in dresser with four cabinets and four decent sized drawers. This dresser was big enough that I was able to set a 55 inch flat screen on top of it. The king size bed lifts up for even more storage. There are 2 large outdoor storage compartments that were big enough to hold all of my outside camping equipment and extra rv accessories. The kitchen had a large farmhouse type sink making it very simple to wash dishes, and a large two door fridge/freezer that worked extremely well. This until has a walk in pantry which I found super beneficial being a full timer. The bathroom was a very good size also providing ample storage space, more than big enough shower to be comfortable, and lots of counter space. The awning almost stretched the length of the trailer and I had no problem with the indoor/outdoor radio. Overall I found it comfortable and homey and I would recommend this camper to any single full timer or to a couple who just likes to travel. Show less

Having owned three Airstreams and a Tiffin Allegro Bus, I can make some comparisons. In all areas of quality, the LTV is exceptional. These are literally hand built with quality control an ongoing process integrated into the production line. I observed this in a factory tour. Additionally, should a repair part be required, as I needed to replace the propane regulator, I called the factory and had the part in hand in three days. While RV’s in general today seem to have many problems, the Leisure Travel Van has very few. I would highly recommend this brand over any other Class C. Show less

Overall look and feel is good. Plenty of room in kitchen and living area. Bathroom has largest area of any we have owned. Mom n pops sinks and large shower, Large storage closet that is plumbed for washer dryer hookups. Advertised as a luxury model but comes up a little short on that statement. No outside ladder, no roof vent covers and pass thru storge is limited by the TV lift. I modified by cutting right side panel in half and put a 1/4 ply on back of lifter area to get more storage in this area. Something that could of done at the factor very easily. The left side pass thru area has a 5th wheel style plumbing and black tank flush station that takes 3/4th of the area. There is no vent fan for the kitchen the roof vent that is in this area we are adding a fan too. Materials are typical rv type but not luxury by no means. Biggest complaints had to do with Fun Town RVs service. his was a brand new unit and had multiple issues on and after delivery. Making an appointment was more like... your gonna have to wait till we have room on the lot and took 2 months to get into service and another 6 weeks to get parts. Issues found: 1. Main AC vents not sealed and blowing back out of return area. Their fix- a little metal duct tape. I had to remove all ductwork and made a new plenum that blocks off the air dump on bottom of unit. On inspection after removing factory ducting found one of the main plenums to the overhead ductwork was collapsed. Bedroom a/c unit has no thermostat and the fam runs continuous and is extremely noisy. 2. Dining table had separation crack in the joint of the wood. 3. TV lift jack screw was bent and binding. 4. Wall outlets not secured to wall and would pull out when unplugging device. 5 Refrigerator mounting at the top broke loose on a long trip. NOTE: this is a 12v refrigerator and has a lot of room, very nice. In general this is a nice unit after repairs and mods done. I would not recommend Funtime RV of Corsicana and their service dept in Rockwall TX. Did not get a proper walk thru and explanation of operations and features. Service was practically non existent and in the process went thru 3 different service advisors. This is an OK unit but I wouldn't call it a luxury travel trailer. Show less

The drive is extremely comfortable. The floor plan layout is very functional. The amenities are exceptional. The RL gives needed separation of space. The Rear Lounge layout sealed our decision to purchase an LTV. One of us typically works in the front dining space, while the other works in the rear lounge. The door to the shower serves double time as a room divider when we are both on calls. Additionally, if one of us wants to rest while the other is working, we can lay on the couch or pull down the Murphy bed without impacting the other's workspace. Most importantly, the bedroom can be put away so that we can comfortably stay in a compact size while traveling without it feeling tight. The lounge also acts as a great workout space. I can roll out my yoga mat at an angle and practice yoga or body weight exercises while using the smart RV. Finally, the small attention to detail makes me appreciate this layout. Another thing I really love is the kitchen. It is small, but the counter that drops over the dining seat doubles the counter space available for prepping meals. It can be folded back up when you are not using the kitchen, so it doesn't impact your ability to dine comfortably. Show less

Only reason the livability is 4/5 stars is because we bought the unit with 1 ac, and really wish we optioned the 2nd AC. Other than that it has been AMAZING! We upgraded from a transcend 265 that was a total lemon. Having the theatre seating directly across from the fireplace and large tv is what sold us on it and it feels like being at home. Very happy with our Avenger!!! Show less
