Leisure Travel Unity reviews

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 The AC had been replaced by the previous owner in 2022.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

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

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

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

Well designed, high quality materials, spacious feeling bath, living/bed room, compact efficient galley, lots of usable storage, led area lighting through out, and Sprinter chassis rocks, comfortable driving, lots of climbing and tow power... Show less

Excellent floor plan, quality, and drivability. Tows up to 5000 lbs easily. Took out west twice and mountains were no problem. Quality throughout, just look under the sink where you can see the plumbing and everything is first rate. Show less

This motorhome has by the best drivability of any unit in this class. The layout is ergonomic for a small footprint and suited us just fine. The only item I would add would be leveling jacks, but with my leveling pro app, leveling is much easier at about 5 minutes max. Normal setup time including leveling is less than 15 minutes. The build quality is outstanding and didn't have any issues when delivered to this day. Show less
