Leisure Travel UNITY U24CBpage=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2 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

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

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

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

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

Outstanding! Better than our Monaco Diplomat 40' 2 slide 350 hp diesel OR our 43' 4 slide Beaver Patriot Thunder 550 hp diesel. Easy to drive & park almost anywhere, has 1 slide with a large Queen "Murphy Bed", Onan propane Gen, 2 sat. TV's, separate seating/TV area in rear, and too much more, & enuf room for 2 people living for 3-4 mos., without bothering each other. Show less

It’s small enough to maneuver thru the streets of Lake Placid, NY. Fits in 1 1/2 regular parking spots length-ways. Big enough for my husband & me to travel and live in for 3 months at a time without getting on each other's nerves. The conventional Corner queen bed is as comfortable & cozy as our home bed. The shower is large enough my 6’1” 190 pound husband can take a nice shower. It’s quiet & easy to drive. The Captain chairs make an all day drive comfy. Terrific fuel mileage of 17-19 mpg. The upgraded U-lounge makes entertaining & dining a dream. An additional 2 people in the captain’s chairs can be turned around to face into the coach with a sweet table in between for coffee, cocktails or TV watching. 25ft. is the perfect size motorhome to take everywhere. A solo explorer or a couple who dreams of off-the-grid adventures or luxury hook ups, this is the rig for you. Show less

We bought the Unity FX used in May 2023. It had 18k miles and still smelled new. His name is Trigger. We did a couple of overnight weekends before hitting the road for over 2 weeks. We definitely put Trigger to the test. The AC had been replaced by the previous owner in 2022. That was good because we drove from West Texas to Scottsdale where it was 115. We slept inside with relatives but he sat out there in that blistering heat. The AC did somehow manage to keep the inside at a tolerable 90 degrees! The Mercedes Deisel engine purrs on down the road. Second stop Grand Canyon. No problems. The FX is a VERY versatile floor plan. Perfect for two. Looped through Colorado and climbed a couple of mountains and back into The Texas heat. I’m very impressed with the quality of the build, the use of every square meter and the ease to drive. These LT models can fit into almost any Subway parking lot! Show less

We recently purchased our RV used from a dealer in California. We had to drive the vehicle home to Iowa from there (2 1/2 days!) The RV served us well and we were able to test out many of the features along the way ( with a learning curve of course). This RV fits just the both of us perfectly and we look forward to many outings. The Mercedes Sprinter is absolutely all that is touted and so many features. We were able to use the bed without putting the slide out, which is important. I wanted a new unit, but the two plus year wait was too long, so I shopped and researched the used market. Love it so far. Show less
