@@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
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.
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!
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!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ☺️.
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.
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...
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.
too cool... we live aboard our sailboat preparing to sail around the world. RVs and Vans have a lot in common with sailboat life! Cheers from the Channel Islands!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I *want* one. My only criticism is having the bed permanently setup in the back, which extends the overall length of the vehicle to 25". However, that said, I understand the need for the length, especially the need for storage below; the hidden bike storage is just to die for - _brilliant_ . Leave it to Ford to recognize that there is a market and to address the market accordingly. I mean, who wants to drive a 45' Prevost around all around? Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I want one 😎 (and TY for the video. Great presentation, highlighting a _lot_ of really small yet important things such as the hidden shoe rackS) (ps, ok, fine. Subscribed 😎😁)
I think this unit suits you guys. Not as big as your old A Class and just a little bigger than the Hymer. With the right layout this could be the one 👍🏻😄 Trev 🇬🇧
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
Really beautiful I like it Good using of spaces And it come all in one car no need to truck another caravan behind you when driving.the windows are so beautiful Diesel AC generator Privacy is maintained Secure place to sleep after exhausting days of camping ⛺️
@@luvtoskidontyou863 I've seen that before, where small RVs with diesel engines have propane generators. I assume they don't make a diesel generator small enough to fit, so propane is the only option.
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 for sharing this awesome walkthrough video. I like the details you explained very clearly. The most I liked was the solar part as well as the kitchen.
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.
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.
Sorry, but this vehicle reminds me of the airport shuttle vans. " B" stands for best. Thank you for a good run though. Joe, do you really want to stoop every time you go into the bedroom area, and you will have to double check where you can park because of the van being too long? Suggestion, keep looking ! Richard M.
Very good walk-through review. I thoroughly enjoy my Wonder RTB. Except for downtown areas I’ve not found the additional length too great a parking problem (length wise it takes up about 1-1/2 parking spaces). Occasionally I may need to walk a little further, but nothing wrong with that.
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.
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...🤔
I realize you are long removed from this unit... I have searched thru many reviews, and brochures... I cannot find a spare tire ! Is there 1 mounted underneath ? The roadside services I’ve found will change flat tires , but will not fix them where you are stranded... interesting possible conundrum !

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.

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.

I think this unit suits you guys. Not as big as your old A Class and just a little bigger than the Hymer. With the right layout this could be the one 👍🏻😄 Trev 🇬🇧
Thank Trev! It's certainly something we are considering.
Finally an RV with enclosed bicycle storage!
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.
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.
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!
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
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
I enjoyed watching the video.
Thank you for your time!
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
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.
Beautiful house with my favourite car brand Ford
I did enjoy the video was amazing 🥰❤️👍
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
Great video; thanks for posting.
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!
Really nice comprehensive review. Thanks!
Yeah, That Was Outstanding To C That Unit👍
Nice RV. Excellent presentation. Thanx. 👍👍
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.
Excellent presentation, calm, fully covered all features, and very easy to understand
Really beautiful I like it
Good using of spaces
And it come all in one car no need to truck another caravan behind you when driving.the windows are so beautiful
Diesel AC generator
Privacy is maintained
Secure place to sleep after exhausting days of camping ⛺️
@@luvtoskidontyou863 I've seen that before, where small RVs with diesel engines have propane generators. I assume they don't make a diesel generator small enough to fit, so propane is the only option.
Thanks
Thanks for beautiful walk through.
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
Thanks for sharing this awesome walkthrough video. I like the details you explained very clearly. The most I liked was the solar part as well as the kitchen.
Impressive. This model has really great features.
One of my very favorite models!
Awesome video!! This guy doesn’t sound like a fast talking salesman.
Thanks - probably because I’m not a salesman 😁
The Wonder looks wonderful !! I like a lot. Thanks for the video , good luck on your search.
You two are a beautiful couple! Great video Thank you
Great presentation! Like a lot of the features on this rig.
This is a wonder. Great features.
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.
Hi.
From a video perspective, you did a GREAT JOB!
Thanks, and God Bless...
Thx, Man, I've learned a lot about the "Class-C RV"......Great Job!
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.
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.

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
This RV would make departing Louisiana fun doing hurricane season,like now. LoL thanks for the walk-through.
Hello beautiful woman with a beautiful smile I wish you the best this year how is the weather over there right now
Sorry, but this vehicle reminds me of the airport shuttle vans. " B" stands for best. Thank you for a good run though. Joe, do you really want to stoop every time you go into the bedroom area, and you will have to double check where you can park because of the van being too long? Suggestion, keep looking ! Richard M.
Beautiful my friend
This one seems Perfect for you two!!!
My Favorite is still the Unity FX.
Very nice Wonder.
thank you. beautiful van. if I had the money definitely buy it! length is a little long but extra space. love the bedroom area.

I write do you have a sender cris Austin ? Elebeth village 108
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
I love this soooo much 😭😭 whoever built this needs to help me
Amazing, I need one like this. Beautiful 🤩
Very good walk-through review. I thoroughly enjoy my Wonder RTB. Except for downtown areas I’ve not found the additional length too great a parking problem (length wise it takes up about 1-1/2 parking spaces). Occasionally I may need to walk a little further, but nothing wrong with that.
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.
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
Awesome. What a way 2 live. Wonderful.
Great walkthrough! Beautiful rig but a little long for my needs. Take Care.
Ditto! Great Thanks for your show.
I realize you are long removed from this unit...
I have searched thru many reviews, and brochures... I cannot find a spare tire ! Is there 1 mounted underneath ? The roadside services I’ve found will change flat tires , but will not fix them where you are stranded... interesting possible conundrum !
Very nice looking inside and out. Seems to have made good use of the interior space with some quality materials. Also liking that gas mileage.
Cool! Really nice, especially when you only need this size for just two people. Like that the shower is separate from the toilet room.
