One of the best things I loved about this video is that, the gentleman spoke slowly and with practiced precision that it was an absolute joy to watch. Congratulations bro, you are an absolute gem of a presenter.
@@blueswallowtail4628 more for me as a bad none native English speaking RV fan, not only did I understand what you talking about, but I also was able to follow you talking about stuff, thanks
You did a excellent job describing this RV. Your voice and demeanor are perfect for doing this. You should look into doing advertising. You're awesome.
I really wasn't willing to watch the whole video but I ended up doing just that because of your soothing, smooth presenting skills. Keep it up sir. All the way from Lesotho 🇱🇸 with love
Thanks for your time. I'm falling more and more for this as my last home ... I'm 62 and just sold my home for my wunderlust...I want to drive to beautiful places.. that most wait till there to old to enjoy it. .. I'm sick of working to pay power,water and have never ending to do (yesterday) lists. I want to spend time off grid. One with the universe not one with my laptop.
What a nice gentleman give him a raise because this is one of the best RV walkthroughs I’ve ever seen. Straight to the point, no bs. He even lined his nipples with the wheels on his shirt, that’s how you know you’re dealing with a professional, a true dedication to his craft
Oh my god is that a trashcan?! This is probably the first RV/Camper video I've seen that *actually* has one of those. Hell, most tiny homes I've seen don't have space for a trashcan. I never thought I'd be amazed by something like that, but here we are.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing a walk thru of this RV. I like how you showed us the highlights plus your own opinion. This is my first view of this RV. I don't know how it's laid out. A long view from the cab and/or the bedroom helps. Thanks again... very much appreciate what you do and for sharing it with us!
Amazing review- however if people didnt pay the outrageous prices on these RVs they would be forced to lower the cost to something more reasonable. 120K for base model and fully loaded- just under 830K- thats outrageous and totally unreasonable. People could buy an amazing house for that price.
Well davey, 130 is pretty much a price point these days. Any class b or c with level of fit and finish will be in the 150k price range. I am still using my 28 foot autumn ridge that I bought for 20k a few years back. That unit is pretty spartan compared to later models but does the job. The down side of my trailer is that I spent 50k on a truck that tows it and I suffer poor gas mileage back and forth to work. I wish nice things were more affordable. I would like a new class c, however vacation properties are probably a better value.
One of the VERY BEST LTV I EVER HAVE SEEN! Separate shower is FANTASTIC! Space utilized so well, and the price is so good, I cannot believe it! Great presentation, Mr R, and you truly make me want to go out and purchase one! Great Luck w YOUR New Van!!!!!!!
I like the leisure travel van with the larger bathroom and the theatre seating in front of the big TV with the queen size Murphy bed...it looks like a tiny luxury hotel room on wheels...
I’m disabled and have a lot of medical stuff for my feeding tube and central line; however I want to travel and see more of our beautiful country. I’ve never seen the Grand Canyon. This is the only way I could travel. I can lay down if I need to and I get a months worth of medical supplies at a time so it has to be large enough for all that stuff. And this one looks perfect. I also have a medical service dog who sleeps beside me incase he needs to alert that a seizure is coming or sugar is off. And my German Shepherd and kitty also sleep with me. So having a bed that’s always set up and made, and it has easy access, for both me and the pets, is a MUST. My adult daughter and I are best friends and we look forward so much to us being able to travel before my health gets worse. This is the perfect size. Love it. (Drive it my way and we will take it off your hands. lol “ As nice as it is, it isn’t very homey. I prefer many of the DIY ones with the personal touches.
The sprinter you guys drove is the best mix of stylishness and practicality. Roominess in a small footprint. Economical to operate. Even if you had to do the rv shuffle I can think of a better fit.
If you are traveling I-10, need an RV park, do not forget to come to I-10 RV Park in Fort Stockton, Texas. We have a great rate with new electrical boxes.
As far as fitting in a parking spot and ability to be off the grid for long periods of time, see if you can test out the Winnebago Travato 59GL. You may want to see if the spacing is to your liking.
Everyone who keeps commenting on the house vs RV debate can you please read between the lines. You can sit in your backyard and look at the same tree everyday...or you can get out and see the world. Get it ? These vehicles serve a specific purpose for those of us who can financially fit this into our portfolio. Excellent video ☺️.
After looking at many class A,B, B+, C motorhomes and vans I have come to the conclusion that smaller is now the bigger price tag relatively speaking. Many young people, as well as young at heart, want something smaller, off the grid-capable, manueverable, lots of solar panels, Li batteries etc. Those things, when crunched into a compact Ford or Mercedes Sprinter chassis for instance, ramps up the price to some low end Class A's or more. Class B+ or small class C's as here, have become increasingly desirable as a go-between size. Prices for these are also high relative to the cost per sq ft of a class A. Essentially you are paying a premium for better city maneuverability, better gas mileage, more remote campsite accessibility, less maintenance costs, European design/cabinets, and some higher tech stuff. To each their own. The pandemic has spurred more recent interest IMO for smaller motorhomes and vans.
VeryCleaverName wow. You are seriously impressive. My boyfriend is a lot like you. He refuses to pay someone to do something he can do himself. And with labor being costly and for good reason it’s definitely beneficial to do ourselves when and if possible . Not only is it hard hard work but if you ask me it takes talent, patience, and a good head to be able to accomplish these things most people will pay people to do for them because they can’t, some just don’t have the time, or talent but some are just lazy. As I said first this is hard hard work. But if you want something done right and you want it to last and be good quality the only way to guarantee that is doing myself these days. We just rebuilt my she shed that got destroyed by a falling tree during a storm. And honestly I’m happy it did. I love my shed. We even added a gorgeous patio to it which was never there before. Yes it took awhile to complete the project but only because we could only work on it when at home and we also work during the day at our real jobs. So was limited but thanks to quarantine my shed is complete. And better than ever. And Now I’ve got it in my head that my boyfriend and I can build anything together. So I’ve got a pretty lengthy list for home projects and I’ve become very ambitious. Oh my god. Okay I’ve been ranting sorry. Point is since we finished Ive really been thinking about how great tiny home living can be. Hell and when building myself I can make it doable and keep cost down enough to make myself a tiny home for moms to escape to. Then I started thinking about the Tiny Home movement going on and I don’t think this is just a trend. Tiny homes are here to stay. I would absolutely love to build a tiny home community for families that struggle. Everyone should be able to have a home or something that they can call theirs. And Tiny homes can be very doable even for a family with the right layout and storage. The world has become so accustomed to everything being bigger better larger and because of that you’ve gone too far. And there are to many children in this world that don’t have a home at all which should never ever be the case. And we the people have the ability to change that and to help each other. My hope is for the community to work as one. It takes a Village to raise a child. Just one child needs a village to raise it, yet we don’t have any fucking villages for them. (Sorry I get passionate about this). But we can change that. We as in the people that do instead of pay to get done. We the people could build these communities and we could do so in a way to support our own families. Because when we help each other we are really just helping ourselves. Tiny Homes are just what the world needs. And more than any the world needs tiny home communities.
Love the luxury of Leisure Travel Vans! If you are a travelling couple, this is the way to go. Haven't had the pleasure of seeing a Rear Lounge in person, looking forward to it, but the FX is my ultimate in personal favorites. Thanks for the tour, its nice to see.
Nice van and much cheaper than a bus. We've been looking at the Phoenix Cruiser 2100. Nearing retirement and travel is open for us. I like how he presented this van and all the options. The wonder has many more features than the Crossfit.
My partner drives a 24 foot Sprinter as his work vehicle and we routinely use it for other purposes. We have never had any difficulty parking it. You simply have to adjust your thinking and look for spots out of the 'traffic lane' in parking lots and choose spots that aren't as popular to other people. Sure, you may have a longer walk to wherever you are going but it isn't a big deal. I admit I was concerned about the slight overhang out of the parking spot but when you look around and see how badly people park in regular sized vehicles, you lose that concern quickly. We have also had no difficulties at gas stations, rural roads or performing three point turns when the rural road turns out to be a dead end :) Don't let the length deter you from going for a longer van. It's all in the skill of the driver and the use of planning/thinking ahead skills that we all possess.
I love Leisure Travel’s Wonder units, but they really need to get up with the times. Put a Volta battery in (there’s plenty of space), hook it up to underhood generator (I.e. secondary alternator), get rid of propane altogether or leave it only for heater and please, replace that 3 way refrigerator with modern compressor-driven fridge. Running generator every time you need to boil water is RIDICULOUS.
Why do you need to run the generator to boil water? This is incorrect. The stove is propane. The generator is a backup if you are boon docking and do not have electrical for an extended period. Even then, you can option up to 400 Watts of solar on the roof and the Wonder comes with 2 X 6 volt batteries for over 200 AH of battery power and there is a lithium upgrade option available. All the whining here about the price etc is comical. They are expensive luxury toys for the few who can afford them. There are plenty of cheaper options. if you look at what these units offer in terms of amenities and fit and finish they are spectacular. Oh, and by the way, they have a 12 to 18 month waiting list due to demand.
The best way to keep the shade from “flapping around” is to have the internal shades, like is in the skylight, on all of the windows. That is perfect example of the manufacturer cutting corners to increase their already exorbitant profit margins.
Thank you! I enjoyed the detailed presentation and monotone voice to clearly hear what you said, no “uhmms” or unnecessary replication of words. Only thing I noticed is you could’ve mentioned height of bedroom floor to roof or give your height for scale.
Wow this is one cm of the better Class C camper van that I have seen it has all th minimal necessities that you would need after all going tiny is s minimal life it’s not about the material things it’s about living snd getting the joys snd happiness in life thank you for sharing
Who knew refrigerators could be so versatile? This is very informative for the beginner as myself, I'm learning some important things here dude, Thanks
Those style of class c units are just way overpriced. You cannot convince me there is $130,000 worth of materials and work put into that thing. The RV manufacturers are really putting the fool on people.
I tend to believe that if you're going to give up on the comforts of a larger rig then get something that will allow you to park anywhere. I recall the video where Joe's mom took you to the beach due to parking restrictions in CA. That is a real pain especially considering you probably won't have a toad. Maybe consider a van short enough in height and length to fit in Santa Barbara with a pop top on it.
Knut Blaise , NO, they ran into LENGTH,HEIGHT, & WIFTH RESTRICTIONS, even a FORD EXPEDITION would run afoul, on width., one of their vids had a sign on the end, read it, blows your socks off. Cheers from NzJ
Wow, that's what you call an RV to live in. Big but small enough to be able to drive around. I love the compartment at the back. I would personally put the bed length wise to have more room for lounging and gaming setup with a drop down screen for a projector.
I like all the convenience do-dads they have on that rig, but I just sold off a Class C I had that was about that size because it was too big to go to all the places I wanted to visit. I am currently in the process of converting a GMC extended (20'4" long) one ton van into my "ideal" camper. Added a 24" high top from Fiberine so that I have headroom and for one person there is plenty of room inside. I get 14-17 MPG driving at freeway speeds, so it is way more economical than my old RV.
Looks ok, but you never provide a shot that gives one an overall feel for the space. Everything is focused on a niche. I would have to go take a look at this to get a real sense of it.
I think it's normal height for a small rv, bcus I've seen him do other rv videos showing that he's 5"11 and he wears thicker soles, that's about 2". So, considering his height with shoes, it's 6'6"-6'8" in the main walk through area.
They should give you a job!! Your presentation skills are excellent. Slow and steady speech…stopping occasionally. And you did not act like a clown with all the excitement that some do when giving a tour. THANK YOU! I love the Wonder too!
I am considering this unit as an option for full timing in retirement soon. (I’m 63 y/o). I have not towed a travel trailer and am thinking this would be much easier to handle than a ¾ ton truck and TT. The hard part is trying to make the best choice. I cannot afford to change out vehicles a year later like I see so many folks on You Tube seem to do... I don’t have the finances for a do-over and I am trying not to get caught in analysis paralysis.
PleasureWay has better customet service. Check out their wide-bodies. I actually wanted this exact unit, but I heard so many negative things about trying to get customer service in the USA that I decided to go PleasureWay. It's too bad, because these LTVs are gorgeous. RUclips has a channel called Ultramobility that will detail the differences between PW & LTV. I hope it helps. P.S. I heart the Russos!
Sandi , This is a myth. LTV will allow you to get it repaired anywhere. Inform yourself. Once the repair has been OK’d they send a cheque to reimburse.
@@TuffTitties4U I watch a variety of RUclips channels of people who are full-time RVers. There are many brands of RVs that can be troublesome when it comes to having things fall apart and having difficulty in getting them repaired. One channel, Creativity RV, is a widow in the USA who details how she almost had a nervous breakdown trying to get her RV repaired. Another one is The RV Dummy. He is a retired doctor who is a full-time RVer with his wife. He also has a few videos where he tells his story of things falling apart and the nightmare of tring to get repairs done correctly and in a timely fashion. Before considering RVing full time, watch a channel by attorney Steve Lehto called 'Lehto's Law.' He has specializes in the Lemon Law for cars. He says that the RV industry is not protected by the Lemon Law. Watch his video called something like, 'Never Buy an RV.' That's not to say that no one should buy an RV. He just gives you warnings from his decades of experience of people losing their life savings by buying an RV that turned out to be a lemon and they had zero legal recourse. That being said, I LOVED the RV life when we lived in our Class A growing up as a kid. Yes, things were always breaking down, but my dad was an auto mechanic and he was able to fix anything. Two more channels to watch of RVers who had problems are Streamin Freedom (a fuul-time family of 5) and a war veteran named Hebard. I would say that if you are considering buying an RV, first of all, rent one for a few weeks or a month to see if the life suits you. Some people quit after the first time they have to dump their black tank full of poop. Also, whatever brand you are considering, Google the phrase, "(name of brand) complaints." For example, "Road Trek complaints," or "Hymer complaints," etc. Theen you will get a better picture of what you are dealing with. Happy Trails!
buzz zub Thanks for your detailed response. Lots of good stuff here. What bothers me is the experience of one or two individuals who have super negative experiences that get published and then people quote it at “infinitum” creating the impression that there really is a big issues with any one type of brand. People who have positive experiences do not post inflammatory posts that go viral giving the impression that there are serious issues. This is the case that is quoted in a previous post (Creative RV).
LeisureVans has upgraded this model with options like a 2000 Watt Pure Sine-Wave inverter and batteries, the fridge doors can swing in both directions making it easy to access from either side, there's a WiFi booster that can double as a hot-spot, an in-motion satellite antenna option is available that can support the DishTV, DirectTV, and Bell (for Canadian customers), and others to name a few.
I remember like 3 years ago when you two were complete Newbies now you too are Experts! Can you two do a video on top 5 or 10 expectations vs. reality.
In Europe, a similar rv, Hymer brand, cost € 300.000. The price is not high but reasonable. Leisure Travel Vans is an excellent company with good build quality.
I love my Winny Itasca it’s about the same size maybe a foot longer with a slide wall that makes it nice when you want the extra space! I bought it New in 2015 for about 83k it is awesome... My wife and I have used it more than the A class and our first B class! No need to haul another vehicle! We go to Pigeon Forge usually 2x a year and generally don’t have problems parking!
Only don't buy a mercedez I have one and you don't want the maintainance. If its a diesel. And they all are. I have been plagued with maintenace costs.
First, you two make a great video. Seriously, I point people to you as an example of how to shoot and edit videos. Second, that camper is amazingly well thought-out. They are doing a great job utilizing space in very creative ways. The price seems really reasonable too. My only concerns are the parking, and the bed area not being comfortable enough for someone over 6'. Pretty great layout though!
You're a great speaker! I can hardly believe that you didn't say 'like', 'uh' or 'I mean' even once! How refreshing! Thank you so much for showing us this camper!
Wow I really really like this RV as far as I'm concerned it's perfect. The one I've been looking at us the Thor Vegas with the twin beds. You've given me something to really think about thank you
Really liked this video! Well thought out van space. Would like a separate door for bedroom in case there's more than 2 people in the van. I also didn't understand the 2 toilets...I'm new to van/RV shopping. I must say the tires looked really tiny for the size of the van...🤔
That double-entendre at the beginning with the whole MY HUGE FEET and storage for my BIG SHOES and that makes her VERY HAPPY was just a tad too obvious for me. But it's a nice looking RV.
Yeah, I don’t know why they are putting so many RVs on the Mercedes Sprinter. Try finding Mercedes mechanics and parts in the middle of Utah or the Yukon. I like the LTVs, but imo opinion you almost have to get the Wonder, because the rest seem to be on Mercedes.

@@jsldj That's what I was thinking!!!!
I think an error was made here! I don’t believe any Sprinter motorhomes cost $800,000. $120 to $250K is the normal range.

Sure, you may have a longer walk to wherever you are going but it isn't a big deal. I admit I was concerned about the slight overhang out of the parking spot but when you look around and see how badly people park in regular sized vehicles, you lose that concern quickly. We have also had no difficulties at gas stations, rural roads or performing three point turns when the rural road turns out to be a dead end :) Don't let the length deter you from going for a longer van. It's all in the skill of the driver and the use of planning/thinking ahead skills that we all possess.
Absolutely professional presentation! Excellent!
Thank you kindly!
I love Leisure Travel’s Wonder units, but they really need to get up with the times. Put a Volta battery in (there’s plenty of space), hook it up to underhood generator (I.e. secondary alternator), get rid of propane altogether or leave it only for heater and please, replace that 3 way refrigerator with modern compressor-driven fridge. Running generator every time you need to boil water is RIDICULOUS.
Agreed!
Survtech / the generator is used to run the A/C to cool the van after heating up the van by running the stove. And around and around we go. 😲
Why do you need to run the generator to boil water? This is incorrect. The stove is propane. The generator is a backup if you are boon docking and do not have electrical for an extended period. Even then, you can option up to 400 Watts of solar on the roof and the Wonder comes with 2 X 6 volt batteries for over 200 AH of battery power and there is a lithium upgrade option available. All the whining here about the price etc is comical. They are expensive luxury toys for the few who can afford them. There are plenty of cheaper options. if you look at what these units offer in terms of amenities and fit and finish they are spectacular. Oh, and by the way, they have a 12 to 18 month waiting list due to demand.
The best way to keep the shade from “flapping around” is to have the internal shades, like is in the skylight, on all of the windows. That is perfect example of the manufacturer cutting corners to increase their already exorbitant profit margins.
Thank you! I enjoyed the detailed presentation and monotone voice to clearly hear what you said, no “uhmms” or unnecessary replication of words. Only thing I noticed is you could’ve mentioned height of bedroom floor to roof or give your height for scale.
Wow this is one cm of the better Class C camper van that I have seen it has all th minimal necessities that you would need after all going tiny is s minimal life it’s not about the material things it’s about living snd getting the joys snd happiness in life thank you for sharing
Who knew refrigerators could be so versatile? This is very informative for the beginner as myself, I'm learning some important things here dude,
Thanks
I miss you guys it was cool to see you both again... its been ages
Those style of class c units are just way overpriced. You cannot convince me there is $130,000 worth of materials and work put into that thing. The RV manufacturers are really putting the fool on people.
You can rent one for only 200 dollars a night. He's not trying to get you to buy one, he's just letting you know what it is before you buy/rent it.
@@Demon_InterestMark isn't trying to say the youtuber isn't doing that. he's providing his opinion
Wrong 3.1 milion doer exidic cars
Leisure Travel Vans is a Canadian manufacturer so I assume that $120,000 is Canadian dollars, or $87,400 USD.
Chief exodic cars cos $874,000 lambghini diablo first car
Impressive. This model has really great features.
I hope Dean appreciates all the cool videos of this unit. With each one I learn a little more.
I'm thinking of buying one now, you convinced me a lot.
I tend to believe that if you're going to give up on the comforts of a larger rig then get something that will allow you to park anywhere. I recall the video where Joe's mom took you to the beach due to parking restrictions in CA. That is a real pain especially considering you probably won't have a toad. Maybe consider a van short enough in height and length to fit in Santa Barbara with a pop top on it.
Knut Blaise , NO, they ran into LENGTH,HEIGHT, & WIFTH RESTRICTIONS, even a FORD EXPEDITION would run afoul, on width., one of their vids had a sign on the end, read it, blows your socks off.
Cheers from NzJ
Wow, that's what you call an RV to live in. Big but small enough to be able to drive around. I love the compartment at the back. I would personally put the bed length wise to have more room for lounging and gaming setup with a drop down screen for a projector.
I like all the convenience do-dads they have on that rig, but I just sold off a Class C I had that was about that size because it was too big to go to all the places I wanted to visit. I am currently in the process of converting a GMC extended (20'4" long) one ton van into my "ideal" camper. Added a 24" high top from Fiberine so that I have headroom and for one person there is plenty of room inside. I get 14-17 MPG driving at freeway speeds, so it is way more economical than my old RV.
Yes new stuf ber at everything kbg then okd schol stuff
Beautiful LTV! Will you please tell me what the exterior color is?
LTV doesn't list the color but you can see all the specs here: leisurevans.com/wonder/specifications/
Looks ok, but you never provide a shot that gives one an overall feel for the space. Everything is focused on a niche. I would have to go take a look at this to get a real sense of it.
I think it's normal height for a small rv, bcus I've seen him do other rv videos showing that he's 5"11 and he wears thicker soles, that's about 2". So, considering his height with shoes, it's 6'6"-6'8" in the main walk through area.
I did enjoy the video was amazing 🥰❤️👍
The Class C RV is beautiful. It looks like a house! Loved the walk through. Well done ! Just got a the Russos T-SHIRT 😁
Very welcome, glad you enjoyed the video and rock the shirt!
Pivate passenger seat, atrium lighting and pocket shower door is a must.curtins in front are important also
Beautiful house with my favourite car brand Ford
The placement of the wheels on his shirt. Can't unsee lol
I am SO glad someone else said it first.
Hello beautiful woman with a beautiful smile I wish you the best this year how is the weather over there right now
Really nice comprehensive review. Thanks!
They should give you a job!!
Your presentation skills are excellent. Slow and steady speech…stopping occasionally. And you did not act like a clown with all the excitement that some do when giving a tour. THANK YOU!
I love the Wonder too!
Yeah, That Was Outstanding To C That Unit👍
I enjoyed watching the video.
Thank you for your time!
I am considering this unit as an option for full timing in retirement soon. (I’m 63 y/o). I have not towed a travel trailer and am thinking this would be much easier to handle than a ¾ ton truck and TT. The hard part is trying to make the best choice. I cannot afford to change out vehicles a year later like I see so many folks on You Tube seem to do... I don’t have the finances for a do-over and I am trying not to get caught in analysis paralysis.
PleasureWay has better customet service. Check out their wide-bodies.
I actually wanted this exact unit, but I heard so many negative things about trying to get customer service in the USA that I decided to go PleasureWay.
It's too bad, because these LTVs are gorgeous.
RUclips has a channel called Ultramobility that will detail the differences between PW & LTV.
I hope it helps.
P.S. I heart the Russos!
P.P.S The PleasureWay model similar to this one is the Plateau XLTD.
Sandi , This is a myth. LTV will allow you to get it repaired anywhere. Inform yourself. Once the repair has been OK’d they send a cheque to reimburse.
@@TuffTitties4U I watch a variety of RUclips channels of people who are full-time RVers. There are many brands of RVs that can be troublesome when it comes to having things fall apart and having difficulty in getting them repaired.
One channel, Creativity RV, is a widow in the USA who details how she almost had a nervous breakdown trying to get her RV repaired.
Another one is The RV Dummy. He is a retired doctor who is a full-time RVer with his wife. He also has a few videos where he tells his story of things falling apart and the nightmare of tring to get repairs done correctly and in a timely fashion.
Before considering RVing full time, watch a channel by attorney Steve Lehto called 'Lehto's Law.' He has specializes in the Lemon Law for cars. He says that the RV industry is not protected by the Lemon Law.
Watch his video called something like, 'Never Buy an RV.' That's not to say that no one should buy an RV. He just gives you warnings from his decades of experience of people losing their life savings by buying an RV that turned out to be a lemon and they had zero legal recourse.
That being said, I LOVED the RV life when we lived in our Class A growing up as a kid.
Yes, things were always breaking down, but my dad was an auto mechanic and he was able to fix anything.
Two more channels to watch of RVers who had problems are Streamin Freedom (a fuul-time family of 5) and a war veteran named Hebard.
I would say that if you are considering buying an RV, first of all, rent one for a few weeks or a month to see if the life suits you. Some people quit after the first time they have to dump their black tank full of poop.
Also, whatever brand you are considering, Google the phrase, "(name of brand) complaints." For example, "Road Trek complaints," or "Hymer complaints," etc.
Theen you will get a better picture of what you are dealing with.
Happy Trails!
buzz zub Thanks for your detailed response. Lots of good stuff here. What bothers me is the experience of one or two individuals who have super negative experiences that get published and then people quote it at “infinitum” creating the impression that there really is a big issues with any one type of brand. People who have positive experiences do not post inflammatory posts that go viral giving the impression that there are serious issues. This is the case that is quoted in a previous post (Creative RV).
LeisureVans has upgraded this model with options like a 2000 Watt Pure Sine-Wave inverter and batteries, the fridge doors can swing in both directions making it easy to access from either side, there's a WiFi booster that can double as a hot-spot, an in-motion satellite antenna option is available that can support the DishTV, DirectTV, and Bell (for Canadian customers), and others to name a few.
I remember like 3 years ago when you two were complete Newbies now you too are Experts! Can you two do a video on top 5 or 10 expectations vs. reality.
@@dougal1351 what happened?
Cmon man its been 2 years
In Europe, a similar rv, Hymer brand, cost € 300.000. The price is not high but reasonable. Leisure Travel Vans is an excellent company with good build quality.
Really great looking RV from the outside!!!
I'd use the word, ungainly. . . . . looks like it would get stuck entering a gas station. And at 15 mpg there will be a lot of gas stations to enter.
ok im sorry but this man could literally be the narrator of a animal life movie and i mean this as a compliment
I'm happy with this, this is a good idea for myself. Thank you for showing this Van, now I know what to look for 😀
Well, after that fantastic presentation, he should get a discount if they decide to buy one! Very professional😉
Thanks!
It's got some really good features, and the separate toilet/shower bathroom is a big plus...if you haven't considered it yet I think you should...!!!
I love my Winny Itasca it’s about the same size maybe a foot longer with a slide wall that makes it nice when you want the extra space! I bought it New in 2015 for about 83k it is awesome... My wife and I have used it more than the A class and our first B class! No need to haul another vehicle! We go to Pigeon Forge usually 2x a year and generally don’t have problems parking!
Thanks for the walk thru. Been looking for a year now and think this is the type of RV that is right for me and family.
Only don't buy a mercedez I have one and you don't want the maintainance. If its a diesel. And they all are. I have been plagued with maintenace costs.
So happy to find you on RUclips again. I used to follow you quite a bit > then lost you.
I love this soooo much 😭😭 whoever built this needs to help me
This is the best van I have seen. Wow!
130k..That's absolutely nuts.
It’s for little rich ppl. You at the wrong site
Go a few years Used
That's two tiny houses 🤣
Well go look at how much TT’s 5th wheel costs and motor homes. Some ppl wanna have a compact van. Too each their own.
Ditto! Great Thanks for your show.
First, you two make a great video. Seriously, I point people to you as an example of how to shoot and edit videos. Second, that camper is amazingly well thought-out. They are doing a great job utilizing space in very creative ways. The price seems really reasonable too. My only concerns are the parking, and the bed area not being comfortable enough for someone over 6'. Pretty great layout though!
Thanks Brad - the bed was the same length as a queen. You can also move the mattresses to the center so your feet aren’t hitting a wall.
Well designed and loaded with great features
Beautifully explained in a simple and lucid style thanks
AND NO ANNOYING MUSIC
You're a great speaker! I can hardly believe that you didn't say 'like', 'uh' or 'I mean' even once! How refreshing! Thank you so much for showing us this camper!
Wow I really really like this RV as far as I'm concerned it's perfect. The one I've been looking at us the Thor Vegas with the twin beds. You've given me something to really think about thank you
So if I leave that table out of the back garage.. it looks like my Harley will fit in there perfect. Thanks for showing.
Is there head room for a 6'7 individual
This is a wonder. Great features.
Thx, Man, I've learned a lot about the "Class-C RV"......Great Job!
Great video; thanks for posting.
Really liked this video! Well thought out van space. Would like a separate door for bedroom in case there's more than 2 people in the van. I also didn't understand the 2 toilets...I'm new to van/RV shopping.
I must say the tires looked really tiny for the size of the van...🤔
A beautiful woman with a beautiful smile I wish you the best this year how is the weather over there right now
That double-entendre at the beginning with the whole MY HUGE FEET and storage for my BIG SHOES and that makes her VERY HAPPY was just a tad too obvious for me. But it's a nice looking RV.
Nice RV. Excellent presentation. Thanx. 👍👍
Awesome. What a way 2 live. Wonderful.
One of my very favorite models!
Just vin diesel presenting us a RV. Cause family is everything.
I can live here this model fits me
Yes yiu xan
Space well used best I’ve seen
Ford’s are the best option because you can get them fixed anywhere at a reasonalble price.
Yeah, and the Transit is alto the nicest van to drive out there. The work van at least doesn't drive like a bus, but more like a car.
Eric Van Eck v
Yeah, I don’t know why they are putting so many RVs on the Mercedes Sprinter. Try finding Mercedes mechanics and parts in the middle of Utah or the Yukon. I like the LTVs, but imo opinion you almost have to get the Wonder, because the rest seem to be on Mercedes.
Fix it again Tony
really enjoyed your presentation through out this Video
Great presentation! Like a lot of the features on this rig.
