2019 Leisure Travel Vans Unity FX Review | Just How Flexible is This Class C RV?

The 'Unity Island Bed' is one of my favorite floor plans. ✌😎👍

I enjoyed this video! However I would like to see this video updated since the electrical minimal levels shown in this video has been upgraded a lot meeting or exceeding the recommendations. I do disagree with the comment against two living areas. The second living area allows one person to be up earlier or later than the other and still have a nice place to be. Also it provides a work area or a sports enthusiast area separate from the less gung ho person’s area. One area can be in full project mode with its associated mess while the other area is conveniently neat. I only wish there was a flex model in the wonder line of LTV. This video is worth watching even though it is now older.

We had a 2017 UniyMB with the swivel chairs. Now have the Unity FX . Would be nice to have the chairs in this model as well. Can someone tell me why this is not possible?

on the thumbnail, you look like a priest...

Tell me this isn’t Tom Cavanagh. Big fan. I feel Eobard Thawne was one of his strongest roles.

Hmm. Why only a 5 speed ? Could do better no? Also, my preference would be for the bed arrangement to be separate from the eating / lounge area so that while my spouse sleeps in the morning, I have a place to make coffee and sit. I see this as a big disadvantage of this design.

Shocking that they don't have more seat belts. The rear lounge screams sleep at least one, if not two. Com'n Unity... address this.

Great review, Great channel. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Why can't the RVs built in Hybrid with Gas fuel instead ???

Thank you Neil for showing us the size of the rear lounge for use as a bed. I couldn’t find that anywhere. Kudos! BTW, I’ve been missing your reviews. Are you well?

I LOVE THE UNITY. MURPHY BED.

They change to the 2000w inverter in the Unity Twin Bed and Rear Lounge

I LIKE the slide out. I didn't realize just how "expanding of my world" a slide out is until I traded my Class B for a B+. The slide out makes the inside look like a "condo" rather than a rail car. BUT...I don't know if I like the fact the slide out has to be out in order to bring down the murphy bed. And on my previous B...I had an extention in the galley. BUT I had a MUCH bigger entry side door so on my current B+, with a smaller door, that would probably be a problem.

Would not like being squeezed on the toilet for the money being put out on a luxury home RV, No way.

Who needs the second lounge?? Why not turn that into outside storage.

Which others should we opt for?

This is a horrible review. Just watch the video on the manufacturers web site.

Leisure way is meant for two people NOT four

188 hp for a vehicle that size? No thanks.

I think their island bed option is much better.

How old?? Oh, I'd say about 25.... :)

Terrible review !!!

Have you had a chance to see the 2020 Leisure Travel Unity rear Murphy bed?

Thanks for the video. It’s great and I plan on watching more.

Just one comment totally unrelated. I’m not your mom, but if you are getting up in the night to go to the bathroom often, get your PSA checked. You look pretty young to have that going on. Your comment about that issue popped out at me as my husband and brother recently have been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

25+ feet is just not me.

I have seen every Class B van out there and by far Leisure Travel Vans has the best modern design. I would like to see larger RV manufacturers get past the 1980’s dated look. I like the exterior styling too. Recently they have offered a larger garage for bicycles in their Wonder model. I would like to see a pass through that could fit my Vespa 150 scooter. Think they are starting to offer lithium batteries in their concept model. You did a good review. I agree I would like to see seating that does not move when you sit in it. Think they do need the lithium upgrades and I want to see them offer an all wheel drive winterize model. These vans are about $150,000 with all the upgrades so they are a bit pricey. Wonder how Leisure Vans hold their value in the resale market. They have a good network of Leisure owner groups across the country and in Canada.

I’d heard their customer service is aweful 😞 that’s a shame if true

From my info the Mercedes part and laborer charges are outrageous I preferred Ford or dodge were Mentenance are easy all I’ve North America
What’s your suggestion I on I should go for I appreciate your input

Your videos are really good.  You're informative and easy to listen to.  Is there a possibility that you can review the Leisure Travel Van Unity Murphy Bed?

My concern is about the odd sized bed which there are no sheets to fit! there are 60 inch for a queen and then there are king size sheets at 76 x80 regular King, or 80x80 for the California King. None of which is going to fit this bed! I loved the concept and idea of this series of micro coaches, but the second concern is the lack of counter prep area. You can't even turn around to use the table, not really. it's just so small. But the second living area with the couch is great. I guess it depends on personal priorities but the bed is a primary issue and much of the reason people like to take their bed with them when they travel. Decisions decisions...

thank you for making these videos. I just subscribed. I was looking forward to seeing more videos of Class C RVs because I thought the indoor space is more practical for my husband and I. He is tall at 6'3" , if you are I think 5'7" and feel squished in the bathroom, and by standing in the shower area, this would not work for us at all. I also would much rather have bunk beds in the 2nd lounge area to make it ideal for guests. However, I also agree that the lack of seat belts would be an issue, specially if we plan on traveling with our nieces and nephew. 🤔 ....overall, cool features, but impractical for our needs. Thank you again.

1) absolutely love your quality B/B+ reviews, & and largely agree with your observations regarding Unity FX
2) We are 40-something’s having recently full timed for 4.5 months (30,000km) in LTV Unity FX We have the following observations:
THE GOOD:
-fantastic layout, most living space of any Class B+
-flared sides + slide out provide maximum space in B+ van great for longer trips, no tow vehicle required
-can relax in rear lounge read/watch tv while kitchen/bed in use (bed stays made)
-unique multi position bathroom door allows space to be used by the bathroom OR the rear lounge
-pantry is class leading and doubles as privacy screen for rear lounge/dressing area
-front lounge flexibility is simple & great, and well worth it. Cushions for additional dinners are stored under the dinner seats (NOT in rear lounge). Only 15 seconds to set up. Execution could be better
-drybath great for full timing
-Truma Aqua go comfort plus wonderful
-removable macerator SUPER convenient
-loads of under chassis storage eg, Webber Q BBQ, scuba gear, campsite gear, anything you want really
THE BAD
-electrical systems: are old school! For the price expect lithium upgrade, multiplex wiring, c/w touch screen control, 2000w pure sine inverter charger, 2nd alternator, etc
-optional solar panel install has 30’ of wire behind below averag3 solar controller!! Line loss huge! Rewire over to doorway with better solar controller after purchase
-not sure what demographic needs (2) TVs in 24’ van...go for full wardrobe option instead
-2018 bathroom door design does not stay put underway with loaded door storage, had to shim door when departing, new 2019 door solves this BUT removes much needed bathroom storage.
-rear lounge: ottoman not functional as desk, hardware does not allow for sufficient leg space. This is really for a 2nd person to put feet up in rear lounge. More elegant design would be to delete this for a custom jack knife extension of the rear lounge into larger sleeping area.
-front lounge: does not include additional seatbelts. This could easily have been engineered into the design, and increased flexibility.
-arm rest support/operation hardware awful! This needs completely different hardware
-made in Canada & there are no 4 season options! Eg, heated tanks, enhanced insulation, double acrylic windows, etc.
THE VERDICT
great for a 3-season full-timing couple downsizing from Class A, who does not need latest electrical frills, either driving every 3days, or on shore power

It blows my mind that at this price point lithium batteries are not included. I have no idea who LTV are catering to (with this model) but it is not me.

Thanks for giving an up close look at this unit. I am a tall person at 6’4” and it is good to see the true dimensions of the interior with someone of your height. Especially the toilet area. Would love to see a review of a Thor Vegas.

This is built on a 2018 sprinter

love your videos...I am ready to buy a FX after looking at many diff coaches. Having the two lounge areas is huge plus for me.

I’d like eliminating the rear seat and make a larger shower/toilet. I’m ok with the Murphy bed, but I’d probably sleep on the lounge as it’s just me and my tiny Yorkie. I’m better it’s over $100k too. Yeah I’m going towards a class c.

It's not class C. Leasure fan calls it a class B+. I have one and I love it.

This is my dream 😢😢

I would like to see/hear your thoughts of the Winnebago Via 25T

these videos like this is fun

Enjoyed your video. Thanks!

Are you sure this is for the 2019? WiFi/Cellular booster is standard in the 2019, and the stabilizers have been thrown out in favor of a 4 point leveling system.

Neil, I agree 100% regarding the flimsy way the various configurations of furniture fit together. This was my first thought when I saw Dean's original intro video of the FX. Once you bump them, or sit on them the wrong way, they're gonna fall apart. It's as though LTV was mimicking Ikea, but forgot to include all the fasteners that hold the pieces together.

Too bad, as the idea is genius, as is the concept of two distinct and LIVEABLE living areas.

I’d like to point out an error. Those extra seat cushions for the dinette are stored under the dinette seats - in a dedicated compartment with a door. They do not come from the lounge in the rear.

What an outstanding review once again! Dang you’re good at this. Appreciate you showing pluses and minuses Hey leisure way, 150,000 bucks but only two year warranty when competitors are boasting 4 or 5 years?? Macerator is optional?Seriously? Lithium not even available??Inverter only 50% the size of today’s typical RV inverters?? I can’t even turn on the microwave to make a quick snack without firing up a generator which is also optional at this price level?? I’m so turned off by this manufacturer I will never buy their product. Their apparent philosophies have lost my trust on many levels. I would take the pleasure way XLMB.

Since this is built on a cut away chassis it was never intended to have belted passengers in the rear. As far as safety goes in class C and A RVs with rear passenger lap belts I don’t believe those would be the safest thing in a severe collision especially if they are side facing on a bench seat. Does anybody do RV crash testing?

will you be doing any reviews on the Tiffen Wayfare??
