Leisure Travel Unity Class B reviews

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

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

We did quite a bit of research before we bought this RV--our first BTW--and it was quickly narrowed down to Leisure and Coachman. When we visited our RV dealer in Ft Worth, TX they had a Unity for sale. Upon inspection and a test drive, we knew that the Leisure brand was the kind of top quality we were looking for. It turns out that the one we purchased had only 4,000 miles on it as the owner had been transferred to Europe and took it back to the dealer with orders to sell it and then have another one with the exact same equipment ready for him when he returned to the US in 3 years. So we basically got a nearly new unit with a discount. From the get go we loved this RV for its drivability, and by that I mean top handling, excellent MPG (that surprised me!) and the ability to take it anywhere and park it anywhere. (Heck, I've even angle parked this in the middle of a town square--only 23 ft long.) We also have enjoyed the Murphy bed for the way it disappears at night, giving us more space during the daytime. (We did convert it to manual dropdown at the factory in Canada; I've always been worried about it stalling in mid-stream electric fold down.) I did not admire the original mattress, so we had a custom one made--not cheap, but worth it. The dinette table is nice too for mealtime, and can be stowed away after use. One of our top priorities was a separate enclosed shower (I hated the thought of a "wet" bathroom) and the Unity has a great enclosed shower in the rear. The toilet and sink are fine, never had a problem. The fridge has always worked fine although we lost the microwave when it shorted out on a faulty electrical shore connection (we have recently replaced it with a brand new one). The pullout pantry next to the fridge is great and saves a good deal of cupboard space. We travel with our golf clubs so the exterior tall storage space is perfect for that. All of the exterior connects are solid and intuitive, and the on-demand water heater is great for not worrying about running out of shower water. We almost never boondock, although I love the security of having the Onan generator for backup, should we need it. The crank-out awning is great for extended or sunny stays, and the exterior outlets are helpful. We rarely watch TV when we travel but for those who do, the satellite is one handy feature. The AC- heat pump is pretty reliable as we have traveled to both hot and cold regions and have used it on cool and heat settings. I do love the powered ceiling fans, which gives us a way to cool off the interior in a hurry. Bonus: they close automatically if it starts to rain. We added a Sirius radio system to our Unity as I must have my Oldies music on the road. I also added a security system, which my wife demanded. All in all, a great experience with what has been the perfectly sized and perfect handling RV for the two of us (and the dog!). You'll enjoy this unit, trust me. 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

Loved this RV for the last 2 years. Love that there are two different areas to hang out so if people are on different sleep schedules there is a space for the other person to go. Also love the flexibility of the sleeping arrangements. I can go stay in a king with my husband but switch it to 2 twins if traveling with kids :) Show less

I was told I could add seatbelts to some of the rear seats but have not been able to find any shop that is willing to do this, so the rear seats are wasted and I can't take my grandkids with me which is why I bought this floor layout. Also, just got a flat tire on the inner rear which you can't see and the vehicle has NO low tire pressure warning system which is unfathomable. I have been waiting over 24 hours for Saferide, which is Leisure's roadside assistance company, to get me a tow truck. They never call me back and continue to drop the ball, so I am stranded and spending all my time calling them. A low pressure tire light would have alleviated this problem as I could have dealt with the issue immediately when the light went on instead of being captive to a horrible roadside assistance company. Have a defect in the wallpaper that the dealer can't fix. and lastly, the local service dealer Fretz RV in PA was horrible to work with and I wrote them up separately in another review. Basically if you live in the northeast, there is nobody to do reasonable warranty work on this vehicle. Show less

This 25 foot RV has more room and convenience than most. Large bath and wardrobe closet plus drawers and storage everywhere inside. Outside has tall cabinet and two other compartments, one quite large. Roominess inside due to electric Murphy bed and slide out.We've packed staples for a 6 week trip.Electronics are excellent with TV at eye level. Macerator makes dumping quick and especially clean. No big hoses. Generator gives extra power when dry camping. Mercedes Sprinter a dream to drive, great power and transmission so that braking down grades only occasionally needed. Climbs everything loaded and still at good speed. Show less

We lived in our 2012 Leisure Travel Unity IB full-time and cannot recommend it highly enough. The island bed model has the perfect floorplan and was a huge improvement over the loft bed we had in our last RV. Changing the sheets and making the bed are so much easier which is especially important for full-time RV living. All of the storage of the island bed model spoiled us and is among the reasons we plan to make our next RV another Leisure Travel Unity IB. The craftsmanship of Leisure Travel is better than that of any other RV we looked at and in our 3.5 years of wear and tear, everything held up perfectly. (We were its third owners, too.) Leisure Travel is not the cheapest, but unlike those with cheaper components, ours never leaked and everything functioned just like new, despite having over 80k miles and being 8 years old. The classy exterior and nice interior finishes never looked dated or tacky, either. We are Leisure Travel customers for life and specifically sing the praises of the Unity IB. Show less

Overall, extremely satisfied with the Unity TB 2020. Had minor and normal issues, and the dealership was simply incapable of fixing anything (Horizon Lussier). A total disgrace I will not go into details. I contacted Leisure Travel Vans directly, they responded immediately and sent me the replacement parts ( tank sensors, BR door handle, door seal, storage compartment struts, etc). The only annoying thing comes from the MB 'check engine light' that pops up often for no reason. After 2 visits to the MB dealership (3 hour drive each way), the last time the light came back on within 30 minutes, the mechanic told me to just ignore if there are no 'messages on the menu'. Overall very happy, unfortunately LTV dealerships are very very bad. It is an industry problem, not specific to LTV. Show less

RV length makes driving manageability a breeze. Tows very easily on any topographically. Mileage is great with this Mercedes diesel engine averaging 18-20 mpg on open road. Servicing and maintenance straight forward given the quality and durability of the Mercedes V6 Diesel and 3500 chassis features. Cabin and internal RV operations very simple and intuitive. Additional factory options make RVing a pleasure. Large bathroom a big plus. Murphy bed in slide the best of both worlds given added internal space and comfort as the day/night wares on. Floor-plan overall very efficient for two yet elegant given quality of workmanship and detail. LeisureVan support through dealer is slow and less attentive than one would hope. Delays in getting parts sometimes a hassle. However, the overall quality of this RV makes 'pit-stops' infrequent and keeps us on the road where we want to be. Show less
