Leisure Travel FREE SPIRIT reviews

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 drove 410 miles to see this 2006 leisure rv asked for fax never scene one oil leaking out of turbo alot of little things need attention not vary helpful not honest people 160.000 miles asked questions got no answers asked about the oil leak on turbo thay play dumb Show less

This is a really well made bus. I especially appreciate the power and the versatility. We spend last summer in the Colorado mountains - a true test for engine and brakes, and it performed beautifully! Fit and finish is nice. It is tall inside, which helps since I am well over 6'3". We have 3.5 years in the bus, and I very much enjoy it! Things that I wish I could change: * I wish the air conditioner were more quiet. * I wish it gave up on some storage for living space. (it has lots and lots of storage!) * I wish the bed were more comfortable without a special topper. Show less

My wife was handicapped and this van allowed us to travel with our own bathroom. She has passed on. Reliable 5 cylinder diesel gets 22 mpg, and is quiet while running. Age related are cabinet door bumpers turned to goo and felt pads replaced them. Climate control cables from knobs on the dash have become very slow to move, no way to put oil on them. When dry camping, and I am gone, the refrigerator is the only thing requiring power, but the radio power amp is ON as a parasitic load. I pull a fuse, but it could be wired so the switch for Radio-TV could have center OFF. The swing down spare tire should have a large sign stating that the short screws for mounting are in a compartment under the passenger floor mat. Show less

This vehicle was the right size! I had a bigger unit but it was cumbersome and prevented me from traveling some backcountry roads. This RV is like having a sports car RV-it is easy to drive and it holds the roads very well especially on back country roads. you sit high enough to be able to see all around you and take in the scenery as well as stopping on the side of the road having lunch and taking in the local atmosphere. I did add some additional conveniences-GPS with backup camera, bike rack, created more shelving to be organized as well as added 2 drawers in the closet, plus many other conveniences listed in the description. This RV has a Mercedes 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine that has great power as well as great fuel economy- when cruising around 65 MPH I get 24 + mile per gallon. I feel very comfortable driving on Interstate highways as well as backcountry roads as well as in cities and towns-the weight limits and its height allows you to go almost anywhere not limited like big rigs are. The convenience size I could park at home in my driveway. Its size allowed me to use it to get supplies from Home Depot to do home projects. Show less

I love this RV because it is easy to drive and very maneuverable driving in town as well as back country roads. On the inter state highways I average cruising 22 mpg and as much as 24 mpg being a 5 cylinder turbo Mercedes diesel. The seating gives you a great view of the road. The inside is very user friendly. I rearranged and up-sized the TV from 14" to 28" were my wife and I can watch while we are cooking. Also installed a Sony surround sound system for DVD movies as well as CD for music which sounds great. Also updated the cab radio and added better speakers for better sound and also to provide hands free cell phone plus blue tooth and added Sirius satellite radio to add to the driving experience. The addition of solar panels extends its versatility. It is very versatile using around home carrying materials for doing home projects as well. Show less

This RV is fuel efficient! The ride is very comfortable, only have to change oil every 10,000 miles. The layout is solid; the bed in the back is ideal with storage underneath, same with the house batteries; can be accessed from the rear doors. With the right improvements, this is sustainable living on-the-go. Show less

It's a great little touring coach for two. The bed is easy to make up and stow away and very comfortable with the included pillow top. You can park it most places so you do not have to tow a vehicle. It gets almost 20 mpg which is amazing. Show less

We have been rv'ing for 50 years with all kinds of rv's. Our last was a big diesel pusher. This unit fits our needs, easy to drive and park anywhere. MB quality and 20mpg. Leisure service is the best. Show less

We have owned, thoroughly enjoyed, and lived full-time in this 210b for almost 6 months. It drives as easily as our suv, absolute pleasure to drive, gets 22-23 mpg at 65mph. There is a lot of storage for a 22' unit, well laid out out, full bath, power couch folds down to make either 2 twins, full, or king bed by using all the cushions. Unit is 10 years old and looks new. We attribute that to the quality workmanship standards of Leisure Travel and past owners diligence in maintaining it. As someone else said: it's like having a Mercedes with living quarters including full bathroom, living area, bed, and kitchen. Delightful unit!! Show less
